1122 gives it away.
If its 52mm its an 064
If its 54mm its an 066/660
Nice grab

Yep metal flywheel small case 064

I can with a pic of the saw

thanks!
That’s awesome!

The Carb gave me the thought that it might be something other than an 046.

460s use HDs

They have you covered

Here’s the rest of it.
Spent a little time today cleaning the cylinder.
It’s gonna take a lotta love

Not sure you have enough love for that cylinder, looks like the plating is gone below the port

I hope not. It didn’t start that way.
I saw that too and i think it’s thinned. I was working that area a lot because that’s where the biggest transfer was.
If that is the case, I’ll need to consider the options.

 

[RI Chevy]

Whew! That saw has had some heavy use.
Ridden HOD and put away dirty...lol

What did you use on it to pull the transfer off ? I’m pretty sure the plating is wore through under the port.

I was using the sanding method
And dammit!
Can the exhaust port be lowered to get back into the plating?

Looks quite a ways might end up in a free port situation

That’s my concern.
I’ll measure the ports from the base and see if there’s any meat for margin.
Thanks

Yep. It would depend on how much piston skirt there is. Beveling would be the way to go vs. trying to modify the port itself.

On the other hand, I've seen worse plating wear on good running saws and not gotten too nervous about it..., especially if it was just blended wear as seems to be the case in that cylinder.

Plating that is chipping or flaking is a whole different scenario and I'd be much less inclined to run a cylinder with such conditions unless it was infrequently and only for short periods of time.

Plating wear and plating failure (chipping and flaking) are two different things.

Does anyone have a 362 c-m service manual version 2?
Have a basket case I am putting back together and would like a pic of wiring harness routing !

This may help...

My wife had Stihl training last week and what Stihl said there is we can’t get a 500 i yet because they can’t make them fast enough so sounds like mid summer

That’s funny if you ask me

 

[lehman live edge slab]

Yeah well it’s been delayed 3 or 4 times now

 

[stihl livin]

if they only knew

They can produce as many 500i's a week as they want to. I'd guess it's either a supply chain or performance related issue..., or maybe just simple marketing economics in the U.S. where their battery powered stuff is being pushed quite heavily.
