Guy had them made up for a dolmar 166. I figured back when I had a few 166's I better buy a couple of them since I was racing a 166 on pipe at the time.
Differences in a race middle, woods ported top and stock bottom, exhaust ports.
Just another junk chainsaw

^another excellent case for the battery driven chainsaw
Doing some 3400 3.7 carbs. Got a laugh on the red 3.7 one. How you know when it still has original carb kit in it. 
Someone has ask about fulcrum height
Just because diaphragms look good don’t mean squat. I had pulled this carb awhile back to clean the fines out from past owner putting fuel filter on wrong line.
Dias felt and looked great. Would run and idle all day. Till you put in wood. It would run out of mix in the cut. New kit in and it don’t do that anymore.

Because of the torque?
Just felt better IMO in the cuts. The whole saw balance etc IMO is just a better thought out saw.
The 2 guys there with the 500 and a 7900 said the 500 is a gas hog too. Uses 2 tanks to the 7900 1 tank when they cut together.
Power ?, the 7900 cuts the same and same cc. But uses 1 tank to 2 tanks for the 500. So there is no power gained IMHO if cutting the same. The guys cut together.
I felt the 462 was the better all around saw for folks uses around here. Aka firewood cutters.
