    Since I already had the 28" Tsumura bar, I asked the dealer if we could swap bars on the 461. Got 32" B/C no charge. My son said he wished he was big enough to run that saw...lol... 0620201349_HDR.jpg

    He probably is, he said the saw looks big compared to him. He might weigh 120# soaking wet...

    Screwloose did you do a muffler mod to your saw yet? I found a dual port muffler for the 461 on eBay(customchainsawparts) I think for $20. It is opened up and sounds good.

    That's the place I bought the skidplate from. I saw that they offer a machined aluminum dual for the 661 with screw out screens. I dunno as I added 1 hole to mine and it really barks now. Mainly trying to get rid of heat as it's the hottest saw I've ever run. Someday I expect the brake handle will melt.

    No it's in the summer spot. I think it's just me not used to a saw running so close to lean. Inside of the muffler was clean with heat colors, purple and straw. I did my initial testing on the 50:1 motomix fill from the dealer but I since have dumped it and filled it with my normal 40:1 E free/red armor mix. Only a couple of test cuts on that though.
