Surprised I have not seen anything posted regarding the 460 clones. They have been out for a while now, and I wonder if they have problems or not??? Also, if anyone has any details of upgrades to the 440 or 660 kits, it would be good to know. Seems like this stuff has cooled off.

Looks like AM MS 460 kits are finally available. https://www.huztl.net/Complete-Aftermarket-Repair-Parts-For-STIHL-MS460-046-Chainsaw-Engine-Crankcase-Gas-Fuel-Tank-Ignition-Coil-Crankshaft-Carburetor-Cylinder-Piston-Recoil-Starter-Muffler-Aftermarket-Stihl-MS-460-046-Parts-p755695.html

I was not planning on doing another saw before Tax Season, but my friend Harold's son needs a saw, so he is getting the best 440 BB I've done so far (Harold ran it and fell in love with it, so...). His son has a new house with a few acres and some trees that need to be converted into fire wood...

I just fired up my 066 Blue Beast tonight, popped on the 6th pull then started soon after. Some one gave me this 066 round top parts saw, no crank, not many bolts, burned piston, broken recoil, etc. So I ordered one of the new Blue Cover Asian 660 kits to see if they had made any changes …...

I recently fixed a customers 066 Round Top that had a leaking fuel tank with an Asian 660 fuel tank. However, I had to swap the control lever, trigger, trigger lock and spring to make it function like OEM. So I know I'm going to be doing some tinkering with my Asian 660s to fix two common...

As most of you know, I've been playing with these Asian 440 saws … 70 cc, BB and Hybrids!!! In addition to the chain adjuster and impulse line problems, the carb problems have been driving me crazy! I had to play with some of them, but I got ALL the Asian 660 carbs to work. I used to get...

It was a rainy day all day today, so I could not cut/split wood, etc, so I did another project. One of my Asian 440 Big Bores was slated for some additional port work. The saw already has a used OEM 460 piston, and then a light went on in my head. I have several of the HL Supply 460 Door...

It started that we were going to do a MS460 project, then realized it would make a great Hybrid, and so it morphed. Dr Al currently has the P+C (see pics) and I installed a OEM 044 12mm crank into an Asian case today. This saw will be a blend of Asian and OEM parts. The OEM will include the...

I've been waiting for these bars (20" 3/8 .050 sprocket nose) to be available with the Stihl mount for a while, and now they finally are available, so I ordered a couple and the came last week. Put one on an Asian 440 BB, and it balances perfectly and cuts real well. Can't comment on the...

Usually when they say something will come between 2 and 8pm, you are lucky if it comes by 8 pm, but not today. At 2:00 while I was in the middle of working on my 046 the packages arrived. So mostly I just kinda looked things over, but here are my first impressions: I am not as impressed with...

A few years ago, near the end of Tax Season, I had 15 minutes between appointments so I went on Craig's List and found a pristine 046 mag (original dp muff + D cylinder) Cream Puff, in great shape. I called the guy and he agreed to hold it for me until "tomorrow", as I was willing to pay full...

So, I recently finished building two Asian 660s I refer to as my Asian Twins, as the Cross P+Cs looked nearly identical. Built them both almost exactly the same, except I did a more aggressive Muffler Mod on the second one. Totally punched out the back of the baffle (instead of just drilling...

Since there was considerable debate in another thread, the suggestion was made to start a new thread. So here we go. I have heard the purpose of this saddle is to deflect fuel up into the piston to aid in cooling the piston. My understanding is that the method used to meet emissions in this...

It has been some time since Randy's GTG, and I hope some of you have had the opportunity to put some time on your Asian 660s. So, how are they holding up??? My Flying Tiger needed a piston pin bearing after about 10 tanks, so it got the Big Bore treatment from Dr Al, but the bottom end (main...

I got a 461 in today with a stripped spark plug. What is the best way to fix this problem? Thanks.

I currently own 4 great running ported 77 cc Shihl saws. I'm trying to re balance my saw line up to only two saws of each size, so I'm adding a 50 cc saw and need to sell two 77 cc saws. It hurts me to sell any of my saws, but I have got to do it. Prices will be reasonable. If you are...

Just got my 36" Mill from HL Supply yesterday, and wanted to post some comments. I already have a similar one that I am selling to my neighbor for a great price (to him). Both mills are similar, but there are some differences worth noting. 1 - All of the adjusting nuts on the HL Supply...

Here is a video of the results of some of my carb testing. Featured are my CFB Hybrid, MMWS 460, Dr Al 460, and my 044. The 044 liked the stock ZAMA carb better than any other, and is the "baseline" in this testing. The other three saws were originally all a little faster than the 044, but...

Just received my package today which included a Farmtec MS660 and a Cross MMWS P&C. I'm dubbing it "Flying Tiger" in the hope that it lives up to expectations. Although, their logo looks a lot more like a Flying Shark!!! For those who don't know, the Flying Tigers were a volunteer group of...

I just put a new motor in a MS250 and I have a vac leak that seems to be coming from where the intake boot goes into the cylinder. Is there any way to remove that boot (and plastic cover) w/o pulling the engine??? Thanks.
