Does Muffler Modding alone help a 462?

LMAO. I hear you...
I am sure once he or Sondre dials it in that saw will rip! [emoji106]

 

[Redfin]

Are you sure it's not 9% ? .. that matters.

Pretty sure my abacus was right. I recalibrated it before calculating.

Don't screw with my production numbers.

Well Friday it was 39 where I was working, it is 81 today. I have 2 dozen saws that could be running today. When your in the situation I’m in you really do appreciate mtronic and auto tune saws. Not fun having to tune a dozen saws at 7:00am in a subdivision on a Monday morning lol although I do do it if I have to...

How much timing advance did that 462 get, and how much did it help?

Idk about the saw in the video. But mine only likes some degrees. Half a key and mine beginns to pop

 

[MustangMike]

Does the 462 have a separate key, or is it part of the flywheel like the 362?

 

[Redfin]

Cast

Well hell, maybe I used the wrong reset procedure. I did read it on the internets.

MTronic is the best thing since sliced bread, that is, until it malfunctions.

Then you wish it wasnt autotune.

Anything i cant fix with a screwdriver makes me wanna fix it with the BFH.

Id still pick it though. I can't tune a saw 10 times a second while it's in the cut. The ease of it makes me pick up my MT saws first.

Same here. I had a popper with half the key gone.

 

[MustangMike]

Half a key is a lot of advance on a cast key, I'd be surprised if it didn't pop!

Its worth spending a little time dialing in the timing rather than advance it X°'s cause jonny-fast-saw on the innernet said so. I get a tach and advance a degree or two at a time going back & forth till I get the throttle response & top end that works best. Its a bit annoying as you need to pop the F/wheel each time but but you don't need to fasten every recoil screw just to start a warm saw, so you can make the process a bit easier.

In other news, I used my new (stock) 462 for the first time today. Hot damn, what a great saw.

I have a ported 461R which is no doubt faster, but 2.7 lbs heavier. For the kind of cutting I use the saw for (mostly with a 20 or 25" bar), I'll take the 462.

Between it and my MMWS 261 I'm pretty happy. I plan to do a speed test between all of the above but I'm waiting for the 462 to break in.

I'm tempted it replace my 241 with the new 8.1 lbs rear handle 201c-em when it comes out, to get a little more spread between them. But we'll see.

Right now, for most projects, my MMWS 261 (Ver II) and my muff modded 462 are my go to saws.

For larger projects, I've got 2 Hybrids, the MOFO 460 and several 660s. (Usually only mill with 660s)

I was a big 241 fan..not that I dislike them..but now that I have 201 rear handles they made a 241 kinda pointless for MY use.

Nice. No regrets going 241 to a 201? (Assuming that you have other saws around - 261, etc)

Ya the version 2 261 kinda made me start to look at a 241 different...then a 201 rear finished it off. Having those 2 saws makes a 241 irrelevant for me now.

Did a muffler mod help it? Timing advance? What percent gain did you get? Did it pop? Lol

Saw video thread or it never happened.

Yes!
