       Stihl 046 460 
       By: Chainsawrepair Date: July 17, 2013, 3:03 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Just had what I think is a stihl 046 with stihl ms460 tank etc
       on it dropped off for a rebuild.  Ex tree service saw.  Pics as
       seen through pm's.
       I tell you that new HD2 filter falls apart easily it looks like.

       Found what I believe killed this saw.  Dumped fuel from tank and
       went to look at fuel filter and line.  Hmmmmm no fuel filter
       inside tank anywhere.  So I pull the carb off knowing I am going
       to find it full of wood fines etc. Yep the inlet  screen was jam
       packed along with other carb orifices.  Which in my mind created
       lean condition and stuck the rings just that little bit shown in
       pic about 1/4" wide score area. I'll get better pics later on
       bench. Oh and that POS fallen apart stihl HD2 air filter couldnt
       have helped matters.
       The piston still has witness lines, cylinder just a hair of
       transfer that will clean up, crank bearings looked and feel
       good. De-comp button bent to where it is either stuck in or out
       using force.
       Oh plus the owner has opted for that DP muffler set up I used on
       the 440. This 046 had the back half that needs the cage cut out
       and plain cover.

       Going by what the owner of this saw told me.   1 dealer had it
       for 2 weeks and 1 a month and looks like I got more done and
       found out in a hour then both combined.   Without a $700
       estimate to fix like the others.   :o ::) :o  Thats just so
       wrong in so many ways  IMO.   ;)

       From the picture that piston doesn't look that bad . I've saved
       them a lot worse than that .
       Lay the sand paper to it ,it might clean up .
       It looks like it got scorched on the outlet side which makes
       sense if it was gas starved .Might not have done anything if the
       cage had been cut out except run lousey .
       From the pic the intake side doesn't appear bad so it must not
       have eaten a bunch of dust

       Yep that piston will be a piece of cake to clean up IMO2. So
       will the cylinder.  The ring groove was marred closed some but I
       have fixed way way worse in the past.

       Cylinder and piston is ready for the new rings and to put this
       puppy back together. Finished up going through other side of
       carb and cleaning the tank vent up too.
       I bet I know why no filter was on new tank on this 046 that
       helped kill it. The new 440 tank I got came with line installed
       and no filter. They must have assumed it had filter and just
       installed tank.

       Until you mentioned that fact I had over looked the flippy on
       the fuel tank from the picture.

       No clue on that.  But Brad aka blsnellling said he is seeing the
       new HD2 coming unglued down his way too.

       Good thing I had my 16" 3/8 bar left from my 066 to make some
       test cuts today (about 20 mins worth).   ;D
