Many of you have asked what caused the failure. My Best guess for the failure is it had some surface rust in the case and crank from storage. Good fuel and gas after it came out of storage. No air leaks or carb issues.
I'm having to do the same thing on MS440. my question is where did you get your crank bearings? I don't want to get the crank bearings with the plastic cages. Thanks for your help. I really like your oil videos. I think the Stihl Ultra at 50-1 might be what caused my crank rod bearing to fry. I'm going to run Amsoil Saber 40-1 and see how that works out. Amsoil is cheaper than some of the other oils, when I order it from their website with the oil for my Harley.
A better two stroke oil will help. Premium oils like Saber, Dominator. Red Armor and motorcycle oils have better viscosity and will cling to the internals longer. Once or twice a year you should fire up your saw (with fresh mixed fuel). I can't stress enough 3-4 months for non-ethanol fuel and 30-45 days for ethanol fuel is the limits for storage. Not my opinion, but the advise from the gas companies.
Richard, may I ask you a question?. If a person ran 50-1 ratio would that have caused the interior rust which caused the failure on that cherry saw?. I was just wondering because the saw looks hardly used.
Richard...Owner ever give any insight as to what caused the failure? People who take that good of care of their saws have a pretty good idea how they screwed up. Just curious!

Do you think cheap oil. Why do you think it rusted. I’ve seen older saws sit for years without doing that.
Beautiful saw. Great job on the rebuild, she’s a cutter now!!
That’s awesome I got 461 with 56 mm piston and custom parts from Gordy at west coast it’s 92 cc 461
Shes a beauty Richard great job you did. Shes purring now! Love your workshop.
Nice saw!!! Love those
Happy as I'd say
Super clean build!
I’d be happy with for sure. Cut really good.
Top job, nice rebuild.
Excellent performance! Looks amazing!
👍👍very nice…nice work as well.
Great job! I’d love to have that saw! 🤣
I sure know I'd be grinning ear to ear! Well done!
Nice job. Thanks for another great video
Great job and video.
It sounds great!
Nice job Richard
Nice build and spare parts find ❤❤❤😂😂😂😊😊😊
Nice job Rich. She scoots...
What a gem
Beauty!
What a saw!
What a beauty! Turned out great👍🏻 if only it'd been put away with a healthy dose of fogging oil.
Nice build Richard - she pulls hard 👍👍. How did this fella manage to cook his big end bearing on a minty looking saw like that??

@@richardflagg3084 wow, that's a crying shame for such a nice saw but you've ratcheted it up a notch so I'm sure buddy will be really really happy now

In your opinion would running a saw once a month when not being used keep rust from forming?

I would be happy for sure. I know where to send my 460 if I need to
Nice job Richard. What oil was the customer using?
See pinned comment I just posted
You mentioned Venturi work on the carb. Details please

Looks like a born again runner! Oil/mix ratio?
Just posted it in a pinned comment.
Will he sell it ,,
Do you know what oil and ratio was run in the failed engine?
