Nice work Richard 👍

Thanks Gordy!

[@hotpotatoz]

Good work! I've dismantled 2 of these right down and put back together . By far the easiest saw I've done. Hard part was getting the damn lip on the cylinder down without snagging the ring. Took alot of trys haha

[@richardflagg3084]

Trim some of the plastic on your ring compressor to compensate for the cylinder neck. You'll still have to use it at an angle, but it helps.

That's my number one saw use it ,everyday go to....ibhave felling kit suspension and bark box with west coast filter..I would love it ported ..it's best saw in my opinion..I heard they have sloppy pistons from Donnie walker

[@richardflagg3084]

As far as the piston issues, I haven’t seen any issues. Donny works on a lot more than I do

Did not notice that exhaust when I installed bark box .wonder why it's cocked like that

I'm sure some German engineer could answer that better than this ole redneck.

Nice work, anything has to be an improvement over a 441! They suck to work on, I just finished one up

[@richardflagg3084]

I don't know how many teams of engineers they used to design the 441, but I think they all got their parts included into the build. I did a video several months ago and made a point to show how many parts had to come off just to pull the cylinder. Had a whole bench full of parts 🤣🤣

@@richardflagg3084 I’m not a Stihl guy but a local asked to me work it over for him. If I’d of known how big of a cluster fuck it was I probably wouldn’t of done it.

[@ToddAdams1234]

Rich, couldn’t you just completely remove (machine off) the part of the jug assembly that sticks down into the case? If not then why?

[@richardflagg3084]

That needs to be there to support the piston skirt at bottom of the stroke. It may be fine to remove it, but that's an expensive maybe it there is a problem.

Has anyone ever tried mounting a 460 carb on a 462?

[@richardflagg3084]

There was a time when they were offered with a traditional carb/ non-MTronic. Part number 1142 120 0600. If I were to try it and couldn't find one of those I'd try an RWJ off a 372 Xtorq or a WJ off a 660 but I'm not sure that would would work even it you swapped the butterfly shafts. I cant think of another Zama carb with a venturi that size.

[@timberray9572]

@@richardflagg3084 Thanks for the info.

[@kbittorf335]

In regard to Schaeffer oil, has anyone tried their 9046 2-Cycle Outdoor Power Equipment Oil? I notice that it meets the JASO requirements and has a higher flash point of 242 F compared to 7000 TC-W3. Viscosity looks almost the same. But! The cost from their website is $279.45 for a 12 quart case whereas the 7000 is $138.83 for a 12 quart case😮. I paid $7.49 a quart at a local auto parts store last month for the 7000 so I will check locally if this 9046 is available to try. Nice build BTW!

[@richardflagg3084]

I and others have run 7000 for years and I have done video teardowns to prove that it does an exceptional job.

[@timtorkelson7201]

I use Amsoil Sabor @ 40-1. I sure like it! What are your thoughts on this oil.

[@Sethhaun78]

You must have tree service bring you wood..that's good firewood..just split big red oak from removal

[@richardflagg3084]

Work at a tree service two days a week and use the wood lot for test cuts on bigger saws. Keeps the mess down at the home shop
