Hi all,

 

Got myself a ms461, what a lovely saw! Anyone know if the dual port muffler for the 046/460 will fit, or is it a different part?

 

Cheers

It's got a 20" on it Jon, only got it Friday afternoon so pretty new! Also going to get a 25" for the occasional bigger stuff that's not worth getting the big saw out.

 

Basically wanted a saw somewhere between my 545 and the 3120, used this in anger for first time today and pretty pleased so far

Joe,

 

Great to hear yer happy with yer saw. Afraid I have bad news, though. Stateside we've poked around with the exhaust on the 461 and have found it makes almost no difference at all. The 461 has a unique system of scavenging it's exhaust that basically makes any mods ineffective unless it is ported.

 

The good news is it is a strong saw! Once the bottom end and the rings break in, you'll be very happy.

 

You still carving on occasion?

 

Wes
