SELLING XS 462 R c-m

[sawmikaze]

Long story short, this was my first 462 Kev ported and it cracked the intake side of the piston. I sent it to him to look over/fix and he threw a new meteor and caber in it and said it's good to go. I replaced the maintenance items on it, tank vent/filters etc..I threw a fresh west coast AV kit and also put a new solenoid and wiring harness in it just for the hell of it, I figured whether I sold it or kept it I'd be fresh. I also bought a new top cover for it, the rubber on the handlebar has small knicks from normal use, nothing serious.

He said it's worth 1000 bucks, so that's what I'm selling it for.



If you have a question - ask away.

 

[sawmikaze]

I've probably ran it on 7-8 jobs since Kev did his thing and all is well, it rips with bars 28" and under.

 

[sawmikaze]

Oh, I put a new elastostart on it too.

Are you trying to get new teef?

Clean looking saw for one that has seen use. GLWS!!

I cleaned it pretty good when it was apart, it's no shelf queen, but it's ready to kill trees.

I was gonna keep it for a back up but I already have 7 of them and I gotta buy a bunch of new saws so uncle Sam cuts me a break.

@huskihl

If anyone has questions about the guts.

 

[cuinrearview]

Halfway through a for sale page and not a single offer of "add ons".

Are the meteor pistons less prone to cracking, or is it a similar design?

1st gen is the more zippy one right?

1st gen is more prone to coming apart. Dull chains and hired help will kill either one. Meteors are a couple grams heavier. Typically they have slightly wider skirts. The bottom ring end being over at the edge of the exhaust port isn’t conducive to widening the port very far that way. This one I believe is running only the top ring. Runs great

 

[Eakf]

Awesome. Solid intel.

Have to ask the hard question tho.

How does it smell?

Depends on if you’re sniffing the air filter or the muffler

If someone runs 32:1 and wants to cut firewood sometimes this saw will probably last them the rest of their life.

Ya, this one is real zippy.

 

[sawmikaze]

I'm open to reasonable offers fellas.

 

[sawmikaze]

I'd trade this for a stock 400 with a half wrap handle that's in decent shape, my BIL wants to get in to cutting firewood and I think a 400 will do him fine.
