ms461 falling dogs

[mdavlee]

I'll try to run one sometime if I ever get a chance to make another gtg where there's one at.

Is the av buffers the same as the 460? I really like the looks and the power the 461 is making and have a good stihl dealer nearby.:msp_confused:

yup same. sorry.

 

[mdavlee]

If they're the same then I can probably run it about 10 minutes and my hands will be numb:msp_angry:

got some more comparisons ,if you turn them upside down ,almost identicle View attachment 261546View attachment 261547View attachment 261548

the air filter cover ,i put the 461 cover on the 460 ,it fit right on ,just astetics on top of cover didnt line up ,internals all fit perfect ,the 460 has some ventilation mesh on the black plastic and the 461 doesnt ,may be due to the hd2 filter not needing View attachment 261549View attachment 261550

the carb looks identicle ,except it has an extra little dowl ,i read on another site the main jet is a little different ,i believe smaller View attachment 261552View attachment 261553View attachment 261554

and the flywheel (for treeslinger ) i put the pullstart cover on the 460 ,it fits and function as a replacement ,its a little different shaped by the oil cap ,looks like more protection to protect that valuable flippy cap View attachment 261555View attachment 261556View attachment 261557View attachment 261558

it looks like the 460 has the extra boss to mount a 461 coil ,flywheel looks like standard 460

if you put the roller catcher on ,you can remove the stock aluminum guard under the chain adjustment ,the roller one wont damage the chain like the aluminum could if you happen the derail the chain in some brush

ah i got ya so its like a better chain catcher...one other question, with the roller catcher, when you take off the clutch cover do you have to unbolt it or does it just slide into place?

I will be setting my saw repair money aside, hopefully by mid December I will have a 461. Don't know when I will be able to run it, but I will get one, haha.

it bolts to the outer dog ,it comes off when take the sprocket cover off ,slides into the hole in inner dog kind of like a peg

I have one here to port, best to learn on others than my own, lol. No doubt in my mind that Randy did a good job.
