Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Short timer]

The kids came to help, but wasn’t much they could do except have fun and enjoy being kids.

Why'd you let those salmons go?

Too small and nobody here likes them, not even when bled instantly and properly filleted. Unless it's something new and weird, snapper, john dory, or kingfish are the only ones I keep. Which is easy because I do heaps of fishing but SFA catching. A legal kingie (75cm) from the 'yak still hasn't happened...yet.

Thanks to @Philbert and @Homelite410 I won’t need to buy another large mount bar for a long time.

Is removing the limiter carb plugs on a Stihl 291 as straightforward as removing them on an Echo?

I got off my lazy butt and took a pic. Friend of mine wants me to get him a little better performance out of his 291.

Those look different than the Homelite and Echo ones that I’ve “spayed” but I would think a wood screw should remove them. Maybe a Stihl guy can comment.

You have to turn that piece all the way to the left, then pull it out, once you do that you grind the piece that keeps it from turning and then put it back in.
There is a stihl tool for doing this. It's basically a reverse threaded screw on the end of a screwdriver. I just use a drywall screw and turn it in, it takes a few tries, but I'm not doing them every day .

Outwardly it looks like the MS201TC (non m-tronic) I have on my bench, which only had the metal surround over the H screw. It had a metal pin you have to drill out , then the whole internal part (which is attached to the needle) moves freely.

Looks like I'm wrong, they're not the same system. Never removed any other stihl limiters besides this 201T, I mostly see older or m-tronic. Thanks for the info!

The 201 is the same.

You can do it that, but it will still have the limiter.
The way I do it you never have to use that little 2mm Allen wrench again.

You doing the Gatorade again after trying to get us off them .

I drank three of them today, one per bucket.

I turned it the whole way to the left, then used a broken screw extractor that keeps it left but I can’t get it to pull out.

Did you see in the video where he showed how the cover lines up with the outside of the carb. The image was a bit out of focus in the video at that point, but there is a line on the outside ridge where the metal limiter cover goes into the carb.
If you don't get it I have a 291 in the basement I'll get out and pull it on for you, just let me know if you need me too.
Heading to bed now .

Just show me a pic of the line you’re talking about because I sure ain’t seeing it. Sticking to my Echo and Dolkita after this, them I understand. Thanks.

I was going to bring my splitter to the wood since these rounds were so big, but felt like running some saws. Started at first light, two tanks later with the 661 and 20 inch bar, they were all noodled up. Man that saw rips with a 20 inch bar.

That’s awesome! Probably faster than the splitter too.

Got it Brett. Finally saw that tiny keyway slot across the face ridge of the cap. I can grind out the 2 limiter stops on it and be good to go. Thank you.
