Here are some pictures from my first run of the saw on some red oak rounds.
A 461 is a very fine running stock saw. Likely, you will pick up how to mod the muff, in conjunction to removing the limiters on the carb screws to enable it to run properly. From there, your quest for more power may continue. It is addictive.
Go to a GTG (Chainsaw Get ToGether) and run some ported saws and your viewpoint may change.
It is always rewarding to be able to cut more wood in less time.
A lot of people think a Mustang GT is strong just from the factory, but with SuperChargers available, how could you not??? (Went from 300 to 530 Hp, great bang for the buck).
In case you have not figured it out yet, you are in the company of addictive nuts! Enjoy the ride.
Nice, now you know a dp muff cover will fit right on that saw, right??? Then remove the carb limiters, advance the timing ..... you will love it!!!
Ok, well considering I just went from a Chevy to a Cadillac in Saws, I don't think I need any more HP just yet.

Mahahahahahahahahaha, that's really funny, you said "need"
Stick around, that'll change
There was a dyno test on a 461xb (xtra bananas) built by Randy, can't remember the power figure but it was a bit special.
There are other porters on this site, never ran any of their saws but have owned a few of Randy's, they range from "this thing is bloody awesome" to "holy ****"
Took me less than a year to acquire a ported saw...

Oh, I wanted to ask about the air filter. See pictures. I took the saw apart and cleaned it all up, then I opened the air box and saw the filter all clogged up. Should it be this packed with stuff after only running it on Noodling for a few hours?

That's fine. More problematic would be what gets past into the throat of the saw.Oh, I wanted to ask about the air filter. See pictures.

The 461 filter isn't patterned after the HD2?That's fine. More problematic would be what gets past into the throat of the saw.
Which is where the hd2 shines
