SOLD Stihl 046 D chamber

[jacob j.]

Going to sell this 046 D chamber saw with a 272 Wiseco. Base hasn't been cut or no finger ports. Just set the numbers where I wanted to try and run it. Muffler has a front opening I'll weld a deflector on for the new owner. $700 shipped OBO. Weber handle not included. I have one more 46 to put back together I'm keeping it for. I have a nice chain brake handle but no band. I'll include all the stuff to put it on that I have and swap the starter to the nicer one I have.

I have a new brake band for your buyer.

Yeah anybody that don't like a 262 ain't run the "right" 262. I really liked the 7 or 8 I had.

Everybody says that. I hated all of them i run. The stock one i thought was anemic. 555/562 is a way better saw to me even left stock.

Yet to be impressed with either, stock 562 or 262. Guess I just havent ran the right one yet.

Hope this 1990 K&S 87 carb 262 changes that. If not down the road she goes.

Not to muddle your thread up Mike, but to you and Kevin what is an impressive saw? Guys I talk to that have been around saws their whole life seem to be irritated/unimpressed with almost every saw. Kevin, I know you still have a passion for the old Poulan. I’m assuming there’s a few that you guys would consider keepers at least.

ES = JMO my MM 361 and 036 saws have ran better then my MM 262 mahle 120 carbed saws in past. I just soon run a 60cc poulan then the 262 as the 262 has a different feel in my hands using.

Now folks say the K&S 87 big carb was the best 262. I will soon see first hand if true or not.

 

[Cut4fun]

Sorry Mike. TTT bump anyways.

ES = used to run these 2 back to back all day cutting firewood with friend. We both preferred the 60cc poulan.

I'd take a mmws357 over either of em.

7900 and 5200 Poulan for stock saws. Awol 562. I can't think of another stock saw that's really surprising. People over hype them on a the forums so bad it may make them seem worse when I run.

Man that 2165/2171 you built sure is a strong saw. That and a few others really impress me when I pick them up. Ported 084is Another.

 

[Normzilla]

Nice 046 Mike.

 

[Normzilla]

To me two saws stock, that have impressed me over many. Are the 046 mag. And the 288xp I have run the 288xp and 046 in every size wood imaginable. The 288 has never left me undersawed The best 20 inch size saw I've ever run, and the only one that ever impressed me was my stock 51 husky with a 20 inch bar, and 3/8 full skip chisel. The thing are wood.

 

[mdavlee]

Bump. I'm in a selling mood

 

[mdavlee]

Well call this SPF for now

Just to update you folks who I have told over and over 262 do not impress me. Well Guess it is only the mahle and 120 saws that do not impress now.

I must say with only 5 mins of test cutting this 262 impressed me. Not anywhere close to a broke in saw. Just rebuilt with new ring and new crosshatching.
Never said that with the mahle cylinder and 120 carbed 262's.
But this one has K&S cylinder and the bigger 87 carb.
Sounds like a mad hornet in the cuts. All stock notta done, screen and gaskets all still in, no mm etc.
Will be hard to let this one go.

Will be hard to let this one go.

 

[mdavlee]

I'm kind of impressed with a stock 45cc 346 with good chain.

 

[EvilRoySlade]

I know what you’re saying. That was the first saw I ever rebuilt then sold it. I couldn’t believe what it was capable of for 45cc.

I like it better than the 50cc version.
