Chainsaw Repair

The carb limiters on the new 372XT's has a spring loaded limiter ring around the H&L screws.

You can just push the limiter ring in with a scribe or little screw driver and then turn the needle valve all you want to with a regular screw driver. You can turn the needle past the stop and have a new range of adjustment.

You don't need the combination tool necessarily.

But the two tool deal is hard to accomplish as the chainsaw comes from the factory. It is very easy to do with the needle boot and top cover off the saw or with the carb removed.

It would be almost impossible to adjust the needles with the chainsaw running with two screw drivers whereas with the special tool it can be done with the saw running without removing anything from the chainsaw.

The limiters can be completely removed if you screw the needles out or you can cut the tabs from them and re-install
