.....so exscuse my ignorance, but when you are talking about the back pressure in the 461, are you saying the saw likes back pressure or not....
Also what do you mean by square chisel saw...
Good morning to you Sir.
Yes it seems like yesterday though It was this month and I was a 21 yrs old running the new 2101. Now a little bit about my childhood. J/k (that ones for Brian)
One thing I learnt early and that was....I don't give a **** what the saw likes. Its all about me me me. I'm saying the 461 can be a very smooth saw but it seems it takes someone who's been there to get to it there. There is a X Faller that put some time in with Walkers saw shop on Vancouver Island that makes the 461 scream without a ripple in it for vibration. They make my 372s feel like i'm running a gas hedge trimmer with a bent shaft in comparison and my saws are hard to beat. That's why I have stayed with that model forever. I believe that the low back pressure is a big key to that but i'm not sure exactly of some of the other things he does? the saw has instant response then instantly drops off to what appears to be about a 2 second stall where it is actually distracting because i look down all the time thinking it stalled. Most saws take about 3.5 to 4 seconds to rev back down and resistance causes bouncing [shuttering] that transfers to the back handle. Much or the Av mounting i have used are bad for this. I have seen guys sell their ported 461 because of vibrations that ran square chisel chain. there are ways to port them to help it and there are ways to make it worse. The reference earlier "square chisel saw" is of my opinion that i wouldn't go out and spend $3500 0n a couple of ported 461 without dropping more money on a square grinder at the same time. Its a smoother cut
If the switch works then I won't bother putting a spare choke on as they snap in half like a twig.vI just clean the filter and prime it in the morning then I won't need the choke. Trigger locks use to be rare to break but now I'm lucky to get a month out of one. The vent elbow came out of the tank on one and the other plugged so I pulled it out to clear it. From about 2009 to 2014 I ran ported ground up rebuilds and never had issues with running older chokes other than them poping off. Same with trigger locks. Those two things seem to be in the last 3-4 yrs.
