Saw video thread

[Leerod83]

Not a video but a picture. Top one is a Tree Monkey 7910, bottom a muffler modded, timing advanced 461. I've heard around here that after running a ported saw you won't want anything else........so so true. Ran a tank through the dolmar then grabbed the 461. I was thinking something was wrong with it.

That’s just the way stihls are... need porting from the get go ... lol jk. Here’s what a ported 461 can run like. They are my favorite 1128, I personally like them better than a hybrid, 440 or 460. I’ll still be keeping my 7900 like you though, she ain’t going nowhere lol.

Send that 461 over for some treemonkey business, the one he did for me is ridiculous.

That's a dang nice 461 @huskyboy.

I too prefer the 461 over the 440 or 460. They're one of the best saws Stihl ever made.

I'll give it a try and see what happens to my account. This is a 372 non xtorq i just finished. On its first tank

Hooraaay 461

Hooraaay 461

That saw was doing quite well with that bar and sprocket combo!!!!

I’m sure the chain needed work. Rakers were probably a touch high and square filed cutter angles all over the place

That 461 really scoots

 

[Locust Cutter]

Still, considering the displacement disadvantage, compared to 80-90cc saws, it was doing just fine, especially if the chain was "meh"...

I got nothing against them … but where were the 461s at the upstate NY GTG 77 cc competition???

When I get the carb in for this ported 460 I have in here for repairs I will compare it to the mastermind 461 I posted in the above video. I will also throw in my ported 7900 and 064 in the comparison. Regardless of the end results of the comparison, which are pretty predictable anyway (just doing it for entertainment and learning)... There is more to a good work saw than just cutting .2 seconds faster than another one lol.

Mike. It was for 460s only.

Mike. It was for 460s only.

I think what it means is...
460’s are great
462’s are great
Mike doesn’t have a 461

 

[RI Chevy]

Yes. Lol

 

[redlight066]

While we’re on 461’s. I really like a 461. Here’s one I did for a local tree service last year.

Nice Rich.

I did not knock them Kevin, and I have stated in the past that stock they have more torque than most 460s. However, properly ported, I think the differences between them are nil. If you have one that is well ported, you just don't need the other.

Not true Jeff, remember, I made the rules for that contest. It was open to all saws 80 cc or less, including 7900/7910 and 372s.

They just had to run the same B+C in that tough White Oak cant.
