What caps you asking about on what saw?

You wrote pulling the one EPA cap left to get more RPMs. I took that to mean you were replacing it. How does that help RPMs?

This saw?

On the Echo saw, and many others there are limiter caps on the high and low carburetor screw's. These caps only allow so much adjustment to keep you within the EPA specifications. If you search removing carb limiter caps you would find a few videos, generally a fine treaded wood screw can gab the cap and if your in the correct position you can pull it off.

Got it. The pic of the open fuel cap threw me off. I get what you are saying about the carb limiter caps. There's a pretty good video about installing the Eagan pipe, removing the limiter caps, and readjusting the carb.

With your knowledge of chainsaws, it would be cool to see a video of you explaining how to tune a chainsaw.
