I visited my father during 4th of july and he decided to hand me down his pride and joy!
It starts up and wont idle properly, I drained the old gas and started looking up info on this saw.
I believe it just needs a thorough carb cleaning.
I joined this board to learn about these older models and get this old saw screaming again.

Welcome to the site. That's a pretty one. I have an XL924 with a 30" bar. It has leaking seals so needs to go on the work bench. It pulled the 30 with no problem.

I would almost leave that one as a shelf queen. I have rougher ones that need minor work if you want one to use.
 
This isn't a chainsaw but I got this at the dump today. It was tight and wouldn't pull over by the pull rope . Got it home and spun the flywheel with a socket oil andchanged the put a tank on it. Three pulls and it fired up. I love the town dump for these things.

Most need a carb kit and rubber bits. Only 1 is blown up..

Be hard to top this score for me!!
 
My you suck contribution is these 3 saws;
770-D, 20 MCS and a Zip. All 3 run on prime so my only concern is a carb kit for the 20 MCS. I have a bar for the 770-D but not the 20, might clean it up and sell it.
Will take better pictures when I get them home.

From another Homelite guy, I'd say that's a Super Suck!
 
Your 461 looks to be a shelf queen, mine is only a princess that still had to go into the forest and cut wood
Mine has less than a tank through it that's why! It will get a workout this week! Helping out a buddy that got a bunch of logs dropped from a tree service. Some really big oak rounds with a lot of crotches. He asked what the heck do I do with this i dont have a log splitter? I said no worries i have a saw that needs broken in I'll be over!
