Good afternoon Gents

I recently bought and assembled the MS460 kit that Farmertec sells. I upgraded it with a 54mm big bore kit, and it now has much more compression than with the stock kit.
This saw has also received a bunch of Stihl parts (rim,sprocket assembly, brake handle and mechanism, tank assembly, clutch cover, and plastic covers as well as recoil starter are in a package somewhere in the world, on their way to me). I've been told that this saw is now a 81cc model, but haven't heard about power...
Can anybody tell me the power output for a 460 with a big bore kit?

I also bought a MS381 off Aliexpress that runs like a charm. But, I wanted to know if it's still possible to find some OEM parts, like the recoil starter (currently sports a MS462-C badge instead of a MS381 one)?

I'm also in the process of building an all OEM MS461 around a crankcase I bought off eBay. Could anyone here give me some of it's history with the serial number?

thanks!

It's the stock starter that was on the 381. Only upgrade(s) I made are clutch cover, sprocket rim, Stihl Elastostart handle and chain tensioner, and the 462 badge (would have largely prefered a 381 badge, but can't find one...)
