It's MS461 Time In Tennessee

[Mastermind]

Your still drilling the carb on these Randy?

That depends on the end user's elevation. I sent one to Colorado awhile back that sure didn't need the carb drilled. I messed up.

On some saws.....I don't have a problem with them. These 461s wanna turn a lot more RPM than 13,500 though.

Do you punt them limited coils to ebay?

When I get 20 or so......I sell those mfers !!!!

They work great on an MS660

I know one guy that runs a 42" .404" on one of these that I modded.

I'm gonna get these 8 torn down......timing advanced on all of em. Then I'm done for today. I'm getting too old for 12 hour days.

Hell......I'm too old for ten hour days. LOL

The little wife and I eat supper......then most evenings just before dark, we'll ride the Kawasaki Mule out to watch the cows graze. The younger heifers are pretty spoiled......they end up wanting one of us to scratch them between the ears. It's the little things than make life worth living.....

He got twisted somehow. I'm not sure of the details. I'm like.....whatever.

I think it was that cult in Colorado I saw on the TV that got him.

He really liked you too, that's too bad he left.

Cult?

That's going around.

I see a bunch of cult members around here. They all got flags in the back of their pickup trucks and stuff.

Hell yeah.

Ask me anything about doing the 461.

I might even reply. LOL

I pay about 50.00 less for the 461 than the 462.

The 461 needs a coil swap though......so it ends up costing more.

I take it you use a coil for a MS460 then? Also is it more of a tuning issue, surely it's not pegging out while cutting, no?

Any other unique things to this model?

When you port for use with bigger bars do you modify the oiler piston for a more aggressive angle?
I know for a fact that running a 28” chain a 562 it can just barely keep up with oiling, but i see people running 32” bars when ported so something has to be done right?

Wrong Thread Slick.

I still do about 200 a year.

What do you do the other 165 days?

Ported R models do a 36” alright in a pinch:

Exactly. Just a matter of tuning. I’m sure it can be tuned in the wood with the factory coil. Most of the guys I build saws for are loggers and tree service guys.....they can run the hell out of a saw, but tuning ain’t their strong suit.

As for the coil.....I usually use a 1300 coil from a MS290 or whatever. The 460 coils are getting tough to find used.

Unique to this model......the carb has got a stupidly small main jet.
