I haven’t put them side-by-side cutting in a while, but the old 462 was a little bit high strung and would outrun the 572. Probably where everyone heard that they were a little bit down on torque compared to the 572. The newer ones have been changed a little bit and I would say the two saws run...

I may have misspoke earlier on the 115. Every resource I look at now says it was for the 395. I must have had a typo earlier

I could be wrong about that carburetor but that’s what the info said that I looked up. I believe the Walbro number is a 118 and the Tillotson number is 298 off the top of my head

The 115 and 116 are from the 385 and 390. These might work alright. The hole in the choke mechanism is larger for the plastic 390 choke lever but it can be soldered shut and redrilled. Rwj is from a 372 xtorq Personally I’d hunt for the 395 Tilly for a few $ used. HS-298a

Something smoked the bearing. But the bearing going bad didn’t cause all the black melted plastic. Even clutch slippage doesn’t melt plastic like that without the brake being on

If they do it on a 251 it melts some plastic. If they do that same thing to a 261, the heat transfer through the magnesium will take out the seal as well as burning some plastic. They need taught not to leave it on high idle

Door hinges and drill bits

The damage is likely from extended periods of warm-up time on high idle with the brake applied

No

Not with good oil

Fuggin’ Sassy Maddam is right

Not sure how square ever got compared or confused with round/hexa. Square chain Note the line/angle change between the top and side and the line from the outer corner to the inner corner. And vertical side plate Not square chain

Xcut (and Hexa) is pretty much a round filed chain with 10% of the file above the tooth as opposed to the normal 20-25%. Kinda like factory RS Pro. It’s pokey. Definitely not race chain though 👍. Even with the aggressive underside of the top plate, square filed race chain is more like 30° tilted...

Two ears and only 1 mouth. But he gave everyone 10 fingers…

Are you sure the bushing isn’t cracked?
