I would strongly advise against tuning the high setting on an MS460 by ear... Running WOT over 13,500rpm and you are going to fry that thing in a heart beat..
Tachometer's are a cheap investment for a $1000 saw.
When i pulled the carb limiters i cut the tabs of and put them back in should i have just left them out?
My MS460 had labeled 1/4 turn on the "L" and 3/4 turn on the "H".
... Just looking for someone with a 460 with muff mod only to tell me what theirs is set at i know mine will be different but should be in the ball park
On a new saw or any saw that has not been modded a tach is good. Once the muffler has been modded, the tach will get you close but not exact.
To the OP...Either your saw is tuned WAY rich, or there's something significantly wrong with it, as in a MAJOR air leak, or a malfunctioning carb.
That is not true at all.
well thats BS start rich and lean it out bit by bit untill it is not 4 stroking any more unloaded in the cut will only take 2 seconds to see and rich'en it up tad so it 4 strokes unloaded job done and only ran lean for 2 seconds easy
LMFAO! Remove your foot from your mouth, put your tac away and pay attention!
I feel left out why didn't you have a response to me:msp_biggrin:. I adjust all my saws be ear
I would say 9 out of 10 people that own a MS460 haven't modified it in our neck of the woods...
I sell them
Do explain.
I would hate to lead someone to believe that they can tune their saw by ear. It's just not possible. I do it all day long with smaller saws but the recipe for error is much easier on the larger saws. Difference between 13,500 and 14,000 will be the difference in plastic start melting.
Just a suggestion that most people aren't going to have this ability.
This isn't our first rodeo.. Been doing this for a year or two now....

Not true! For example try tuning a MS201...and you can throw that tach out the window.
Or an M-tronic oh wait never mind....
Well I was going for how a tach don't work on those but you don't need no stinking tuning on them saws
