Odd 462 MT Problem

[drf256]

What was the problem? Looks good Al!

This....or not snapped in all the way on the carb/intake hicky.

Bingo.

Rod popped out. Wasn’t allowing the throttle to seat against factory stop. So, in essence, had a massive air leak through the carb at idle. The MT was intermittently able to compensate for it. You can hear it searching for idle in the vid.

So it wasn’t the MT, it was me being a knucklehead. Great learning exercise though. Next is to advance the timing and see what I can fućk up.

Hi, there are many times that an easy problem Is the hardest to find. Because It was too easy.

But we sure did speculate on 100 other causes for the issue.

 

[drf256]

It likes timing advance.

The most likely cause of the problem isn’t the fault of the German engineers, it’s the Dutch. They made the Heineken consumed during assembly. I’m going with that.

so you got it in the can

If you don't mind me asking, where does a guy find that filter material covering the hole you put in the cover?

Frogskinz.
You can find it on Ebay, Amazon, and quite a few power sports outlets.

Sounds good Al glad it was something simple for you and nothing to complex to deal with. With timing advance that thing should be a screamer.

So this saw is 40% cus of the sticker?

It likes timing advance.

How much do u advance the timing?
My saw beginns to pop by about half the key so I went back to about one third of the key.

I went with 1/4” of flywheel movement on the case edge.

It was around 1/3 of the key. The saw has a lot of compression, so I didn’t think it was going to need it. It seems to like it.

 

[drf256]

Update. Saw performing flawlessly. MT is the greatest thing since sliced bread, until it ain’t. It still is.
