Want to Buy Stihl 046 or 460 runner

[dcgm]

Looking for an 046 or 460 runner. Tentative preference for the 046 (no flippy caps) but I'd be happy with either. Budget around $500.

Interested in some or all of the following, would be willing to go a little higher for a saw that checked all the boxes:
Full wrap
Fallers dogs/oversize clutch cover
Dual port muffler (I think was OEM on the 046 anyway?)
Fresh rebuild

Thanks!
Dan

i have canadian farm boy ported 046 and 460 $800 each

$800 might be a bit steep for me. How aggressive a port are we talking here?

Cant go wrong with a CFB port job.
Regret selling my 460 that i had done by him. But I still have the CFB 044 and its an absolute screamer.

got 460 here, w/some of what yer lookin for.
opened up sp muff cover & lightly scored piston are what's not. jug is clean, i had it apart & thought piston was useable.
blows 170 w/gasket.
pho $500. usd, shipped to you.
i could replace piston fer nother $100. or you could yerself, if ya saw the need to.
can get pics if yer interested.
also have screw in flippy replacement caps. would throw a pair in.

046/460 dual port muffler cover was on the Canadian model. Easy to order and install. 4 screws and its done. Also fits the 044/440 saws. Re-tune the carb after. O/w you will run way too lean and hot. Meteor piston is the best replacement with Caber rings. $40 from Colorado, free shipping on Ebay.
