How to Remove the Carb Limiter on a Husqvarna 460

The Rancher 460 is a two-cycle, gas-powered chainsaw manufactured by Husqvarna. The chainsaw's carburetor mixes air and fuel in order to create combustion, which makes the engine run. The carb limiter is a small plastic piece that runs between the idle adjustment screw and the carburetor body; this screw can be turned to set the idle speed or the fuel adjustment mixture. If the carb limiter on your Rancher 460 is cracked, it has to be removed in order to install a new one.
