[young]

I'll still have at least one of these then.....probably Young's. He stoled my 'puter you know. :msp_thumbdn:

[young]

probably be faster.

Can we clear the coil thing up,whats the go the original 461 coil is limited,helps with starting, timing and torque.
460 coil is un limited yippy.

So if we use a 460 un limited coil for tuning and then put the 461 coil back on we are all good.

Do we have to modify the coil mounting holes ?.

Whats the gap between fly wheel and coil brushes ?.

Cheers

220v will give Randy faster computer too..

Yeah I read somewhere the 461 coil has different timing... but Randy will have the answer, not doubt about that.

It's a bolt on swap. I use a business card to space the coil....

I can't tell any difference in timing at all. It starts the same too.

Both Young's and Mike's saw have 200psi and the timing advanced .020 at the key.....you can start either of them without the decomp hot or cold.

I have over .030 squish on them as well.

 

[young]

460 coil weights less too hahahahahahaha

didnt notice any difference when i swapped the coils also.

Is the new squish band parallel to the piston crown?

 

[splitpost]

oh well,best start buying up 460 coils then,stihl will most likely drop the unlimmited one and use the newer one for them all:msp_thumbdn:

I machine it flat John. Then I use a sanding mandrel to taper and round the edge where it meets the combustion chamber. I also polish the band with scotchbrite.
