It's MS461 Time In Tennessee

[RI Chevy]

Can jets be changed in HD50?

 

[Mastermind]

Just clean it up. This is goid stuff here...461 is a good saw.

Sadly....in this country there is no cleaning it up.

We are pretty much wrecked.

Excellent question.

But....I'll probably wind up deleting this thread.

Evidently I drug it into the deep state ditch.

I'll stay on topic or post elsewhere, keep the good stuff, this is a good thread.

I'll just bow out.

You fellers have fun with it.

I wonder how an HD carb with slightly bigger main jet would run? More power?

 

[MustangMike]

Jeff, the jets can be changed, and I think Randy says he drills them, but the internal circuitry is supposed to be different with the HD-50.

But, I don't know the details, maybe someone with more knowledge about it can help out here.

 

[RI Chevy]

Just matters on how big they are drilled.
I still test the old fashioned way. Part replacement then put the saw in wood and see. Lol

Come on Randy, don't get sore, play the saw game.

Do you notice any differences in how HD-50 carbs perform, and have you ever switched carbs between a 460 and 461?

Yes mine has a .073 jet in it.

 

[RI Chevy]

Is there a staff member here willing to move all the off topic posts to their appropriate threads?

On it. Message sent!

Is it a MMWS?

 

[PA Dan]

Is it a MMWS?

Sure is! Here is the part number for the jet I used.

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice Dan. Did you notice the power increase?

 

[PA Dan]

Nice Dan. Did you notice the power increase?

Was a brand new saw and I never fired it up until it was ported.

 

[RI Chevy]

Ahhh. Ok

Boys, let's refrain from the political and religious stuff. That goes for every thread. It has absolutely no place on an OPE forum. If you like to mix chainsaws and mowers with politics and religion I know another site has a big section for it. I'll go in and delete all the political posts in this thread, no matter who posted it. Keep this in mind for other threads, so none of the mods have to come clean up after you. After all, and to the best of my knowledge, your mom is not a mod here.

 

[SOS Ridgerider]

Here's the good thing: Only a few posts needed to be deleted. Some of the off topic stuff can be useful for others to read, so let's leave it up for now and see how it goes.

Your threads come in at #2 for best derails.
@sawmikaze still is #1

Come on Randy, don't get sore

I'm not sore.

Sad......I'm extremely saddened by where we've wound up Mike.

Just sad.

I won't say anything more.

The hd50 has a main jet that delivers x amount of fuel at wfo regardless of the H screw setting. The H screw just adds a small amount of fuel to fine tune the high side. They deliver added fuel as soon as the jet is cracked open out to about 4 turns out. Drill the main jet too big and the saw will always 4 stroke even with the screws in tight. Drilling the jet or replacing it won’t give more power, it just gets you back inside the tuning range of the h screw, like somewhere between the preferred 1 and 2 turns out.

To get more power or rpm you’d need more air, as in bigger venturi in the carb. Or create a controlled air leak somewhere if the carb can deliver enough fuel to support it
