Yeah. Honestly I think I’m going to take my time with this one. I might even do some repainting. The tank, muffler cover and clutch cover are the only parts that have paint damage, along with the orange on the intake frame surround. I don’t really use it much except to mill a few logs here and...

Got all the new parts yesterday except the puller. The puller went from WA state to NJ where I live and has spent the last 2 days in Texas and New Mexico. God I hate USPS these days. How the hell does that make any sense? Says delivery by tomorrow now but I highly doubt it.

Got the new carb today. After removing the limiter caps and verifying the .68 jet, I set low on 1 out and high on 1 1/2 out. And that’s where she stayed. Wow! The old carb was rebuilt before but the saw never ran like this. It popped on the first pull on choke and ran on second with no choke...

Lehman, the IPL shows the donut style trigger attached to the coil in the diagram. #22 in diagram, listed PN 1114 400 1000. Showing that as 1111 400 1000 as the Stihl number when I searched the numbers off Buffalo bills post. Found an OEM Stihl brand new. Only one out there. Think I should grab...

Disregard my question. Part # is clearly displayed in the photos. Thank you.

Sorry it’s been so long since I came back to this. This is really great information. I’m going to start looking for one. You don’t happen to have that part # handy do you? That’s a great looking saw. Now that my tank is off I might just pull the muffler cover and clutch cover, and respray all 3...

Going back to this, I did replace the oil pump assembly with, I’d my memory serves me correctly, a brand new in box unit. The O rings may have been reused. Dumb on my part yes. This was a few years ago now, so I can’t really remember. Though I do have a separate thread on that so that might tell...

Coil and flywheel were secure. Flywheel/crank turn smoothly with no play. Fuel cap was replaced. Smoke was definitely coming from the flywheel cover but I don’t 100% know the source. The coil and wiring does not look burnt or melted. I will know more when I receive the puller and can get the...

Also I now see why it’s threaded. It’s pressed and those are for the puller you mentioned. Damn it!!!! Guess I’m going back on eBay for the puller. Do you think the mound of dust around the carb and clean intake manifold indicates the carb was seeping a bit? I have a rebuild kit for the original...

Thanks! I think you sent me all the diagrams previously in this post. I just found a brand new in box Stihl OEM coil on good ole eBay. I’m embarrassed to say how much I paid for it but I love this saw. Hopefully that’s the issue. If not I’ll replace the trigger as well. Just want it up and running.

Here’s some photos for reference.

Hey guys I’m back!!! After letting this thing cool for 18 months, I’ve decided to get back at it. I was going to try replacing the coil. I’ve got it all apart. The ignition switch wire and another go deeper into the case. My question is, which way does the nut for the flywheel? Both wires go...

Ok thanks guys. I have been able to get the fuel I need on the high side in the past without a ridiculous amount past 1 turn. When I get the new one, I will verify the main jet size. Hopefully it’s the same but it’s a quick swap if not. Now to open up the 076 super to see what’s wrong. Think it...

Hey guys. I’m throwing a new walbro HD16 on the 460. I always start with 1 turn out on high and low. I always get the high setting right because I have a tack. Where do you guys start the idle adjustment screw to start? I think that is what has gotten me screwed up in the past in setting the...

Yeah Al. I do want to keep it original if it’s easy and somewhat cheap to do so. Up until now, aside from rebuilding the oil pump assembly, this thing was the best running, 100% on point machine I’ve ever owned. It runs the same no matter the weather, how long it sits, whatever. It just starts...
