250 Merc ProXS Four Stroke on a bass boat that went boom at 3.3 hours. Guy was taking off, heard a pop and it died. Merc authorized a complete engine replacement which the lead tech and I had done in less than 2 hours.

So last week a MS460 came in that would not start.

Gave it a full tune up (plug, air filter, fuel filter) and adjusted the carb and it started and ran just fine.

Owner now says it dies after running for a bit. I'm thinking maybe a bad coil, but any other ideas would be appreciated.

I’d give it a BGD, MM (2 1/4” holes), and TA (.020”)

And check the tank vent and rebuild the carburetor

Impressive to see such a high profile porter remembers my modifications so well!!!

Short of actual porting, they work very well on most 440 and 460 stihls.

I think of them as a "poor man's upgrade".

This was earlier, Troy Bilt push mower with a plastic carb Briggs. I got it running for her about a month and a half ago and she called me last weekend saying that it wouldn't run for more than 30 seconds at a time. Found that she picked up a slug of water in her fuel. Drained and dried tank and carb. Fresh fuel and running good again.
