What's on your bench?

Berry berry nice Dave!

It'll never be this clean again lol
It's a nice light falling saw
Wish i could find a 2188 for 150

The universal solution is swapping the choke shaft control lever on the carb. Sometimes you can just swap the saw's control levers, but sometimes they will not work.

I wish I could remember which swaps worked and which did not, but I have done 460 carbs into a 461, and 461 carbs into 460s and 440s. I think you can also mod a 461 control lever to get a 460 carb to work.

I just know that some control levers will not work in some saws. I'm thinking a 460 lever in a 461, or a 461 lever in a 440??? (maybe both)? I just remember I had some problems when I played with these things.

I'm completely up in the air on this one I'm building. It's going to be a hybrid from boxes of junk.
I only have one 044 Zama carb now. So I'll have to find/ buy some stuff anyways.

I have never seen the exact same model of carb with different jets, they usually change the last number or add a letter to differentiate.

I see the 461 IPL that I have lists a HD-50A & HD-51A.
What's the difference?
Arctic carb and standard?

I am not real carb literate, I can rebuild one and set the fuel valve lever, and that is about it.

I did, however, check the boxes that these carbs came in (luckily, I used them to store the carbs that came off the saws).

They seem to both be identical … HD-50A (or HD-50 in English), 1128-120-0629.

Since I'm having issues with the Asian carb on my 440 BB #4, I think I will put the HD-50 I did not use yet on that and see what happens.

The saw seemed to run great, briefly, before the carb crapped out (at least I think that is what happened).

 

[Sty57]

Lookin at the IPL some more.
It shows a fixed jet size of .058 on the hd50 and .064 on the hd51.......I gotta guess the hd51 is an Arctic carb for the 461.

@Sty57

The HD-50 comes original with a 0.58mm jet, the HD-51 for Brazil comes with a 0.64mm jet.

Brazil dosen`t need an arctic version.

Brazil dosen`t need an arctic version.

Must of missed your comment.
So why the bigger jet?
Bad gas?

 

[DND 9000]

Could be possible to have a richer tune or the exhaust limitations are less restrictive.

Ok so I got a basically free 028wb and it dosent have a chain break...dose anyone know if it can be added? It looks like it has the possible mounts and bosses...it would be really nice with a break!

I see them with one of each quite often...drives me nuts. Lolz

 

[kingOFgEEEks]

The newer Stihls are just compensating for something

 

[beaglebriar]

Kids dirt bike wheel. He keeps ripping the valve stem out...time for a rim lock. Should be fun.

Loads of fun lol.

 

[RI Chevy]

Yup. Stihl's keep their nuts, they don't fall off or loose them.

 

[beaglebriar]

Loads of fun lol.

I've been putting it off for awhile Mikey...

I don't blame you one bit. Tubeless would be lovely.
