       Stihl 251

       Stihl MS251.  Looking through the carb adjustment cover holes. I
       think I am seeing metal stops? Just wondering when I start on it
       and want to adjust carb. Dont seem to be any L adjustment left
       to turn from factory setting.

       now.

       He should use the right limiter cap puller to do this. First
       line up the cap so that the notch of the cap points vertically
       upwards. Use puller 5910 890 4502 to pull the cap. Screw the
       puller 5 turns counterclockwise in the cap and pull it out.
       Don`t screw it deeper to not damage the 2mm hex adjusting screw
       of the carburetor.

       Thanks for info.  On my 150T I just drilled the stop out of the
       metal one.
       Ended up leaving this one alone after testing and cutting with
       my e-free mix.  All was right again.
       Water in his mix and loose plug main issues. Throttle how I
       liked it on transition in end, instead of a face plant.

       Was told it is easier to just drill the black limiter tabs like
       I did on the 150T carb for this 251.
       Just saving info and pics of another guys carb where he pulled
       the metal covers to show the black limiters you drill out.
       Just saving different ideas.

       M3 left hand thread screw, that's what I use as a puller.

       Bet you can guess what is about to happen to this 251. I got
       permission to make her right.
       stihl ms251 in for hard start and falling on face at throttle
       Quick easy way to get rid of those pesky stops.

       251 choke wasnt closing and flooded.  Love their easy start
       system compared to the spring assist others use.
