husky carb adjusting with limiters

[miker]

how do you adjust the carb with these limiter things on,help!!

[spudulike]

I get a pair of pliers behind them and pull them off.....and leave the little buggers off:thumbup:

 

On the Stihl ones, a decent wood screw will pull them out, on the Husky ones, a pair of long nose pliers - you will find conventional screw heads underneath - whats the saw, can you be trusted with no limiters:lol:

You would have to remove them to ajust the carb, but you need to find out why you need to adjust the carb beyond the range of the limiters.

Carbs do not go far out of tune on their own, usually there is another reason for it appearing out of tune and to retune only compensates but does not put it right.

Air leaks on the crankcase or the inlet manifold will weaken the mix, blocked air filters will richen it. Dirty fuel filters and gauzes will starve it and reduce revs. Internal carb faults such as hard diaphragms, contaminated needle seats or worn needle arms also need fixing. Any of these, when fixed , should allow the saw to run close to the HL presets.

No, nor me, I pull them off just as Spud says, can never get them back on so leave em off. Just be careful when adjusting and if using the factory sets as printed on the cover be aware that they will be for the caps on and may be different from basic settings. See some of Spuds previous posts.

I just trim the plastic limiter tabs off on the huskys.

 

I also have some with the plastic limiters pulled. If there isnt a spring behind the H and L you dont want to pull the plastic all the way off or the H and L will creep and will move out of setting in time when running. Been there.

In general are H L screw settings on the husky carbs the same as the stihl ie remove the limit caps screw in then out one turn?

 

I'm asking for a 346 and 3120.

 

Thanks.

Your 3120 has a H?

[Mesterh]

Your 3120 has a H?

 

I'm fairly sure it has but you have me wondering now!

 

Will have to check next year

 

I know the 346 has and has the limiter caps, the 3120 is the only other husky I own so thought I would ask about that too but now I'm thinking it doesn't have limiters anyway.

 

So then, does anyone know if the standard settings are one turn out if you remove the caps?
