Just another 1/4 turn thread

[I Know Something]

That's a 1" x 6.5" grade 8 bolt and a grade 5 nut. I essentially ripped the threads off the bolt and friction welded them to the inside of the nut. I later chiseled 1 part out due to disbelief. All done with the standard 8 inch ratchet wrench. 1/2 drive. It was bent by the time I was done. No cheater bar of any kind. Just growing frustration it wouldn't go on. Wrench didn't survive either.

I bought a Stihl 046 Mag a few years back that was sold to me cheap as a non-runner. Here's what it looked like delivered:


Yes, it had trouble running, but all I needed to do was clean up the saw and open up the hi-speed carb setscrew a quarter turn. After I did that, it ran like gangbusters:

I added an outside bumper spike. This saw still runs today with power galore and easily pulls a 30" bar and chain. Thanks for looking.

It fit. It was a center lock nut. It was a little hot to touch the socket when I took it off the wrench. Nut had to be a little mad too.

395xp. A new flip fuel cap will slip when snugged down. I put a slightly larger O ring on An old style cap and located where to stop. It’s holding.... for now

MS661. I was able to chase the threads on the left. Helicoil had to be installed on the right. And yes, the chain tensioner is toast too.

Is the MS661 chain tensioner like the old ones? Such as the 1125 series that would go on a MS460?
