    Problem with MS461 Idle

    Thanks Magnus. I guess I think I need a security blanket :) I just ordered the Amicks one that some are recommending. Madsen's had the Stihl EDC(?)-9 ... which I think has a refresh rate of > .5 seconds (and nobody there knew what it was).... so I got the Amicks one ... with the $17+ shipping...

    Problem with MS461 Idle

    Peter, I've been doing a little research (until somebody who knows what they are talking about chimes in)... And I have found this so far: 1) Get one with a .5 second refresh rate 2) Lots of people are recommending this one...

    Problem with MS461 Idle

    Thanks Burnham, Sean, Magnus. Great info. Yeah, I think I am going to start trying to work on my own chainsaws....(if you want something done right, do it yourself).

    Problem with MS461 Idle

    Yeah, I'm hoping for the best on this with this dealer ... but I've got another one in mind I haven't tried yet to take my next problem to. It's enough to make someone want to learn to diagnose/fix them oneself. Or sending them to someone like the Chainsaw Guy and pay for shipping but it would...

    Problem with MS461 Idle

    Thanks Sam. I called the Stihl regional representative. He said it didn't make sense to him to change the carb unless there was something wrong with it. He said it seemed obvious there was something wrong with the clutch/assembly. My dealer said they couldn't get it to run with the carb that...

    Problem with MS461 Idle

    My MS461 would not idle. (conked off after idling a few seconds) I played around with the screws myself... got nowhere... and took it to the dealer. I asked them to get all screws adjusted properly. and specifically *** Make sure it idles properly *** Make sure the chain doesn't turn while...
