Another option @JohnnyBlade is a Stihl elasto start handle, if we're going to get personal and all I like em better than a D handle.

Fixing my niece's rav
One Coil pack went bad
Interestingly that's what saved the engine
It's angled downhill here
And showed absolutely 0 oil on the dipstick
Her husband has been borrowing it for
Months to drive 70 miles roundtrip per day
And never bothered to check the oil
I'm guessing it would've been it's last trip
If he did take it that day.
They only hold 4 quart's

They ain't small...guess what saw I got it for?

288? These r the ones i was referring to. Few different colors ive seen too. I remember it being more of a 3 finger grip.

Got a 123 pretty much finished up. Just need to try it out and adjust carb a little more. Modified 309 muffler new crank seal and a chip ignition.

My parts showed up yesterday and the CFB 440/460 was re-assembled last night. Having the a/v separate was pretty interesting, I've never seen that happen with a new(er) saw before. Now I have a pretty nice pair of Maxflow-ed and wrapped Stihl's, I just need to figure out the "spark but no fire" issue with the 461.

Got the old snowblower on the bench. Cleaned the carb and she rund pretty good.
Didnt take long to fill my shed with smoke when she lit up lol.
I have never seen a fuel needle like this one befor.

Now I got to figure out the linkage for the auger. I know its not rite. Should pull the handle to engage the auger. Now it is pull handle to stop auger. The handle has a little peace of flat metal as a link and im surenit souldnt be ther. Will have to mess around to seenif i can get it sorted out.
Any ideas are welcome

So when handle is not squeezed it turns auger

Is it M-tronic?

Nope, 461 carb model. The backstory is the flywheel was smeared on the original coil, I installed a new Duke's coil that liked a very tight gap and it ran flawlessly. While pulling the saw apart to install a new crank the flywheel took a pretty bad hit on the floor, now an inline tester says there is spark but the saw won't even pop. I suspect between the smearing and the impact the flywheel magnets have lost too much "juice", but I'm not sure. I can't justify spending $40 on a flywheel, but I can put a $150 tank, a $100 wrap, and a $50 Maxflow kit on my 440!

PM me if interested. Yours for the taking. Any other Mini Mac parts you might need? I have some spares.

So the supor glue wasnt so supor lol.
Few pulls and it broke again. Got the other spool out and it was too big for the yellow recoil housing. I have the black one like yours that it came out of but wanted to keep the yellow one. I had to sand a little off the outside with the die grinder and it seems to work pretty good. Got the saw running butnit needs a carb kit. Got one ordered. Dam ebay. Be here in almost 4 months.
