Check the L screw. It sounds like it needs to be backed out a little. But it is possible that you are already against the limiter and they may need to be removed so the adjustment can be made.
There are some other possibilities, but this is where I would start.

My bad. Got turned around. Thanks, and sorry for the wrong direction. Would have been an obvious mistake to correct. Turn the dang screw until it gets "snappy" off the trigger.

The MS 361 also has an accelerator pump that gives a shot of fuel when the throttle is opened. If you can't get it to smoothly accelerate by opening up the L adjustment, then check out the pump.

Took out limiters backed out to 1/2 turn seems to be helping got dark before I could really see. On the limiters, I shave the side piece off stick back in but can I adjust again without taking them out? And now that they have been shaved will this keep them from backing out still? Thanks for all the help.
