MMWS MS460

Rebuilt and ported. This is a saw that was bought off eBay. Paul sent it to me right after he got it I think. It had a low quality AM top end, and needed a lot of TLC. Here is what he has now.

Neither.

I'm trying the exact builds I did in 2012.

Awesome running saw still the same top end you received it with, just reworked?

Treemonkey said to me one day........

"Our best saws ain't our last ones, or a first ones. They're the ones from somewhere in the middle."

I think he's right.

No sir. New OEM top end. Also new OEM seals and gaskets. It was taken down the the crank, clean, inspected, and reassembled.

Randy when u inspect a crank is alil bluing around the connecting rod acceptable as long as the bearing is tight?

Many times they are blue brand new. It's from the heat treating process.

Randy...when you changed the carb settings about half way through ..did you richen up or lean down a tad ?

 

[Mastermind]

I've been waiting for that question Simon.

It got faster didn't it?

 

[Mastermind]

So.......did I fatten it up? Or lean it out?

It was tuned to 14,300 in that last cut.

Fattened

 

[Simondo]

I think you just fattened it up a tad after having a look again. I think it held its rpm better whatever you did !

 

[Mastermind]

Right on. A little more fuel. It will get better as it breaks in......

Not too shabby friend. I'd run that saw in a heartbeat
