Yes they have the coil that can't be adjusted, at least mine has it an 09 model.

I think Bailey's sells an unlimited version.

Will make no difference in the power as theses saws run about 9000 RPM stock, ported maybe 10000 RPM for peak power. Well below the 12500 RPM or so it's limited at. A unlimited will make tuning easyier as the limited can fool you into thinking it's rich. Steve

You have to get rid of the limiters on the carb or you'll burn it up, modded they need more fuel. Tuning in the wood is the best, start way rich and gradually lean it out untill it cuts the fastest, when you get a bit lean it will rev higher but bog easy. Steve

Do i need to take the carb apart to get the limiters out of the carb.

I've never worked on a 395, someone here should know. Steve

I don't think you would need to take the carb apart. On my saw just had to get the boot cover off the adjustment screws to access the caps. They're a pain to get off though. Took some time with a small pain of needle nose pliers to get them out. Then just trim off the tabs and pop back in.
