Well, now you need to order a 660 too, just to see the difference, right? :)
Senior Member?  That's funny.

i bought this one too see which i like better stilh or husky then i will be getting a big one and a small one.
 i have only idled 2 tanks and ran about 1/2 tank so far so good cant wait till its broke in. which should be tomorrow.
 then its let the games begain.

Nice saw, leave a few trees standing.  ;D

You don't need to idle that saw to break it in, do you?  The manual just says not to run it at full revs off load.   You can run full throttle in-cut no worries, as far as I understand.  I've heard of folks getting Stihls and the dealer telling them to run it like it's stolen.

sas
i did'nt with the 372 but i've heard some do it this way i figured i would give it a try. but that will be the only babying it will get though ;D

SasquatchMan

The only way to know for sure is to buy another, and see which one lasts longer! :D

Well I don't know about 2 cycle engines but I do now you don't want to idle a diesel unless you want glazed cylinders. It's best to vary the load/speed and not stay at any rpm or load for very long. Might be different with small engines though.

well guys the 460 is at the shop. needs a new oil pump. was'nt oiling the chain. brought in this morning thought it was fixed was'nt so brought it back drained oil ran cleaner through it. still was'nt oiling so he looked to see if he had a oil pump did'nt. so he gave me a used 066 he had till mine is fixed.

David_c

tell me about it kevin. at least i can say the service is good there i feel he has treated me more than fairly. but i still wish i had no problms with the saw to begain with.

Kevin

Did they inspect it or just decide to replace it?

David_c

o.k kevin heres what he did to today. i brought saw in we went into shop took c/b off, sproket off cleaned out inside there put back together worked. brought home ran it for a few hours was'nt working so i brought it back this time empteyed oil then we ran some cleaning agent trough it put more oil in was'nt working he said pump must not be working. every thing else he said looked fine.

SasquatchMan

David_c

SasquatchMan

David,
 Sorry to hear your having trouble with that new saw. Sounds like their treating you right though.

David_c

sas i have'nt had a chance to try it yet i got home about 5:30 with it but i'll let you know tomorrow.

sdsaw yes i was really quit happy with the way he treated me. he said if he did'nt have that 66 he would have stripped a new 460 and got me on my way. definatly made me want to continue to do business with him.

we have found the oilers in MS460 to have falts as well maybe its what your cutting ie i work in forestry thats on sand country.

David_c

thanks kiwi but i honestly dont think its what i'm cutting. heck only ran it in wood for 2 tanks of gas. dealer said he has never had this problm. thats why he had no oil pumps. but who knows.

Your dealer's statement that he has never seen that problem before is a trained response that Stihl dealers are particularly adept at. Just like the one where every Stihl dealer claims that they have never seen an 026/260 with fixed jet carb that had an air/fuel ratio problem. It`s my experience, and I`ve been dealing with them for 25 years, that Stihl will adamantly refute any commonly shared problems, every issue is a brand new, never seen before problem, even if your last three Stihl saws had the exact same problem.

I wish you the best of luck in getting your problem resolved quickly and not at your own expense.
