Stihl ms 461

I wonder if is a method or trick to make this 461 unlimited without to change the coil ??

thanks

 

A 660 or a 460 coil will take care of this or you can simply trim off the 3rd pole located by the lower mounting screw.

Note: not my image

 

Has anyone here tried this!?

 

Any idea how that works? (how trimming that off makes it unlimited?)

 

I’m curious too!!

I have a 660 coil I have heard it makes the saw harder to start but I have no idea, I’d like to know…I do t know what all cha he’s when swap coils as far as how the saw reacts, harder start, different revs,etc…but I have a good ear and tuning with the unlimited coil sucks!!

 

Holy old thread revival Batman! Lots of fellers over on opeforum have done this mod. I’m not a 461 guy so don’t have any personal experience. As far as I know it works great though.

 

Good thing about forums can breath life into and old one lmao!!!

 

Also I have heard guys have starting issues and kick back when using certain coils, you have to have a certain coil with the starting goober, but I just have the stick coil on mine, I can tune it in wood….but it would be hard if you didn’t tune in the cut!!
