Slotting a carb so you can tune

[jakethesnake]

So been playing with the two stroke tiller this morning Tune is way off I have a set with the splined and all the others in it I posted up a picture awhile back no one had seen the pattern on these needles .... So I'm at home all I have is a hacksaw on hand

If I cut through the carb and down into the needles y'all suppose that'll work well for me? It's a fairly handy lil machine light easy enough to use but as is it's junk

Yeah, it'll work. Lots of hacksawing, tho. Better to remove carb to get full stroke. Dremel with cutoff wheel is quick and can leave carb in place. Most trimmers/blowers/tillers/hedgers have an Al collar around screws.

Yeah if I was at the shop I woulda ground if in bout 10 seconds I'm home today n wanted to play with it cause the fates was gettin hairy hacksaw is what I had really wasn't that big of a job even with a hacksaw I didn't even take the fuel lines off just had to be selective as to how and where to start the cut and had to do it twice because of the angles that were available

Don't get caught by the EPA.

I bought the splined adjuster from Ebay since I do this stuff at the shop. Now EPA can't say Nothing.

EPA can stick it where the sun don't shine.
