Odds and ends, I'll find a parts saw to fix. Thanks though.

Looking for MS460 parts saw. I have parts i need to drop in a good case. Feel free to move this post if it needs to be moved. Just trying to slim down the parts shelf. Thanks guys.

Looking for 460 parts saw, I have parts left over i need to put in a case. Thanks.

I guess my methos is kind of a hybrid. I toss it up with my left hand while the right hand is on the poll and start the head down and slide my left hand down the handle to meet my right hand and just before impact I pull up on my right and push down with my left to increase leverage. That's on...

Good Morning friends, I've cut and burned firewood my whole life. Last year I came across a Husky 22 ton splitter at a good price and i bought it. What a blessing it has been! It allows me to get more firewood from the knotty sections. I have a question for thise that have actually used...

What do you guys use to block off the carb side of Stihl saws for the leak test???

Walbro HD-16A is in it now. Thats what came with it.

Rebuilding a 460. Everything stock. Time for the carb. Walbro HD-16A or Tillotson? What carb would you guys put on the saw??

I see stihl with orange and black handles and some with white and black handles. What's the differences between the two? Besides the obvious different colors Lol!!

Good Morning. Im planning on welding up a wood burner for my shop/man cave. I fabbed up a woodburner based on a Jotul 118 and it works great for the house. I have seen base burning designs and downdraft designs. I would like to hear opinions on those if you have any. Sizes? What size wood...

I run all my 2 strokes at 32-1. Makes figuring how much to mix easier, donnt have to b Pay 26 dollars for 6 50-1 stihl mix bottles, and i buymix by the gallon. None of my saws have seized. My pistons skirts and cylinders look just fine. It keeps em running.

That makes sense about the carb needing to be richened up. Ill buy that for a dollar. Thanks for the input guys. I remived the limiter nibs on the needle caps and put them back on. My 044 did have a little more smoke, but that don't bother me. I would rather lnow yhe bearings are getting the...

You want to run a 24" bar? Go for it. Ihave a 24" bar on a 024 super pulling 3/8-.050 full chisel chain. I keep it sharp and dont file the drags down. No issues with bar oiling either. I cut mostly firewood but its all oak and hickory. I have no problem with it. I dont have to push it through...

I dont understand the lean condition you speak of. If i tune the carb low/idle and high side to spec, then isnt the same amount of gasoline being burned in the cylinder? I could understand your point if during initial carb setting I could not get it to richen up, but thats not the case. It tuned...

That sounds like good advice. This will be my first complete teardown and rebuild.

Yes,yes I do. And I asked it in such a fashion that I am prepared for instant annialation from the saw masters here. I couldn't have got my 044 up and to ning if it hadnt been for the help i recieved here. All opinions are welcome to reply. I have very thick skin and a dang good BS meter. Only...

Hey guys, I picked up a MS460 today that looks lije it has been run over by a skidder. It's busted up pretty good. I squirted WD40 down the carb and on top of the piston and spun it with my drill and water blew out of it. Out of curiosity I hooked up my compression tester and after blowing all...

Thanks a bunch guys, found the needle leaking bevause the reaction arm was too high. It is supposed to be level with the carb body. I bent the arn to the correct height and reassembled the carb and she runs like a singer sewing machine! Thanks a bunch guys! Next time I tear I to the old girl I'm...

I think im gonna run 4oz oil mix to the gallon. Makes figuring out how much oil to mix easier. Been using Poulan Pro from Sally World but I got a gallon of Amsoil Saber I'll be using.

Thanks, will do, now i gotta find a gauge that reads that low of a psi.
