Brennan, Thank you for this valuable information. Your kindness is much appreciated. I aligned each little groove with its corresponding limiting ball as you suggested, marked the center of each ball with an automatic center punch and using a 3/32in drill bit carefully drilled them out. It's difficult to see how the manufacturer gained an advantage by altering the carburetor in this way as the internals were caked with dirt.
Great explanation. Honestly I never realized there was a 2mm allen head in there. I've always drilled them out. Yes, those pins are hardened, and occasionally the bit will drift. Going forward I'll be doing it your way. Much cleaner. Thanks Brennan.
I just drilled my ms271 carb plugs out today with a 5/32" bit, it drills easy its just aluminum, i adjusted it better than when i bought it new, my low idle was too lean ...

This is by far the best method for gaining full adjustability on those carbs. Thanks for the stellar video

Thank you for that information, it may come in handy, I have the MS271, but I have not found the need to make any adjustments beyond the limits
Una pregunta por se trava el ahogador de motosierra STIHL ms 291 yno funsiona se aselera todo
A wise man, giving away free knowledge.... is a good man!
Just my worthless 2¢
Again Brennan, you the man!
Thank you Brennan. You rock. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓
This is the best way to do it. TY
Good to know even though I don't have any of those models.
I ground a slot through the pin with zip wheel on the one i did. Didnt know about the allen trick.
Got your saw to start smoking. My plug too clean worries me.
That is ridiculous how they made those so hard to adjust.
Good info Brennan
Great tip. Thanks.
When I tried to back out the adjuster like you showed, it ended up breaking the plastic piece that you showed in the beginning of the video. Any tips?
Tnx man !
