Sounds like a plan. You say it will cut along side a 066, now thats a hefty increase in power, must say. I must say in advance I've own a new 066 a few years back and this 046 was fairly new as well. Both were bought in
1998. The 046 surprizing ran in 20inch wood as fast, if not faster than the 066. In big wood with bars buried the 066 would pass it but I gotta tell ya this is one unusual 046. It honks. Even my ole Stihl rep told me once its the fastest cutting stock 046 he's ever seen. It runs so strong I sold the 066 a year or so later. I'm gonna pm you my e-mail now buddy. We're gonna build us a hot rod thats already hot, can't wait to see what this thing does with your suggestions...........................
