Higher…..as in more swipes or less swipes? Can’t really tell if you’re pushing it or holding up on it.

What did you end up doing for a carburetor? Did that one I sent you work?

Less swipes. Chain wasn't as smooth as I like. Fed and cut fine just a little harsh for square.
I put the original Walbro carb back on the HU saw. I gave up on that Zama. I'll bring it this weekend. Maybe you can find a fix but I gave up.

Ahh. Yeah I forgot you were running square. I think I’ve gotten used to making my round chains a little bit too aggressive. They cut pretty quick but they do throw me around a little bit.


Right after I sent that carb to you I tried one on a 7900 and it failed also. I believe now that they were all either factory defects or they sat so long that the brass corroded in the idle mix jets.

@PA Dan you just need a ported 3120…

What jet comes in a HD-50?

You really only need to richen it if it will not adjust.

Both my ported hybrids are running 70 jet carbs, but I think the HD-50s have different circuitry.

I have an HD-50 on my ported 460, and it loves it, but none of my other saws liked it!!! I can't figure it out, I just try to go with what works!

I removed the limiters and gave it a try with the original jet and it's good without changing it to the .68 jet. It's tuned a little past the what the limited coil will show on the tac, I think I'm going to swap an unlimited coil off one of my other saws, tune it and the put the limited one back on it. I just don't trust myself tuning it in wood without knowing for sure that I'm not tuning it to lean.

288 needed more air after ported. Gained 1,000 rpm in the cut just pokin a few holes in the rear of the cover real quick.

Yup they breath a whole lot better

461, I put a coil from a 440 on it and re-tuned it, it ended up at 13,850 RPM WOT. I think I'll richen it up a bit more before I put the 461 coil back on it. Weird carb, I was at 12,300 WOT RPM, at turning it around 1 turn out the RMP only came up a couple hundred then less than a 1/4 turn more and I was at 14,200.

Coil from a 440 should not work on a 461 with the poly flywheel.

Another 372xp. Played with a few things. Liking this set up.

Liking this. I have a 288 to do soon, might give it a try. I’ve wondered about holes in the 372 high top with a stack filter.

It works, but it only has two holes to bolt it on vs three on the 461 coil.

Weird, word has always been you have to use a coil from another poly flywheel model 046/460/066/660. Wonder if it may go haywire after a bit.

From what I've read it will work fine but this is the first time I've done it.

Was the carb weird to tune before you swapped the coil?

I don't really know, with the 461 coil I did't adjust it very much.

 

[MustangMike]

I believe the 440/460 coils work just fine on 461s.

Perhaps some of the early 044 coils are different.

But as Ronie stated, only two bolt holes instead of 3.
