046 oiler

[nmurph]

I will taking down some 36-60" pecan trees for a neighbor. I have a ported 046 and a 36" bar: will this saw oil the bar?

Oh yeah, I'm going to let the 125 eat some too, as well as several other saws.

If it has the HO oiler it will do fine. If not it may be a little dry depending on how dry the wood itself is. I know dead dry oak sucks the oil off a bar but not sure about pecan.

I don't know what oiler it has in it. It's one of those chicken-legged monkey-with-a-gun saws. I have had it for 4-5 months and haven't even oiled or fueled it.

I think you'll be needing the H.O. control bolt & plunger Neal. Pecan is kinda dry IIRC, adding to the equation.

EDIT: Speaking of which......who's got the PN#'s handy for the above mentioned?

I personally don't like going longer than 25" without the HO oiler. My 32" bar on a standard 064 oiler gets pretty dry. Until I gut the oiler and rebuild it with the HO parts, I just manually oil as best I can.......the few times I need to use the long bar.

I know on the 660 there's a little mark 90° of the slot for the screwdriver on the HO oilers if I remember right. I can't remember if the 046/460 are this way or not.

I can check an 046 tomorrow that I have apart over on the bench at the shop. Run a 7 pin on it if you have one to keep the chain speed down an the RPMs up. It does help a bit. PM me if you need to know about the oil pump.

If anyone has the HO PN's, I might look into swapping them out. I do have enough bigger saws, but I thought it would be fun. I have a nice 28" set-up if I need to go shorter.

That should be fun to see what kind of ass the saw really has with a long bar. It should handle the 28 with ease.

A post I found searching this site through google.



I have an 046 with oil pump part #1128 647 0461; want to convert it to high output. Are the piston & control bolt part numbers listed below compatible with the older 046 pump? Thanks.




Entire HO 460R pump - 1128 640 3250 - $84.50


OR

Upgrade parts:

piston - 1128 647 0602 - $26.20
Control bolt - 1128 647 4803 - $3.90
The pricing may not be current but I have read that you can upgrade just the internals for less than half the cost of the complete oiler

my 460 wrap has the witness mark thing off the screwdriver slot for the ho oiler ,461 does too

Help!!!!!

Here in Denmark(europe) HO/Upgrade parts can't be ordered, what to do then........ my 25" bar is getting warm

thanks guys

My suggestion would be to order from one of the STIHL dealers here.....no?

 

[MS390]

I know,but the customs when it arrives in Europe,gets pricey

You have other problems if a 460 won't oil a 24" bar. Mine will oil a 28" just fine, and I would think I could get by with a 36" if the chain was sharp and I took my time.
