smoked my saw (ms460mag)

[smokinj]

the guy set it to run a little fat at 12000 he said it would lean out when under a load. Im not so sure about that. Dunno never claimed to be an expert though.

stock is 13500 muff modd and or port work would put in in the 14500 range mine is ported and run it a little fat at 14200

I would say aged gas with meth caused the lean out? How old was the fuel?

in my experience gas with meth is worse than small pox any day. and a whole lot easier to score.

Here is what a 038 looked like after to much sawdust got in past the filter...

the piston looks good..Compared to the cylinder that is....

I would look at the bearings,,Also was there anything at the bottom of the case???

Meth and eth both kill!! one kills brain cells and the other kills engines Both no good!

ethanol probably kills brain cells also if used in excess, but tastes good in various forms.
causes stupid stuff (eg: 'hold my beer and watch this.....') in excess also.

I just don't like it in my fuels.
