462 has a HO oiler?

[rumatt]

I haven't seen this discussed anywhere until today,.. The 462 has the pin you can punch to increase the oiler rate.

This seems like great news for someone who wants a 462 for mostly medium bar use (20-25) but very occasionally has something to cut that benefits from a longer bar.

I'm even happier I ordered a 462 now than I was last week when I placed the order.

It has been discussed previously, and is reported to oil quite well with the pin punched.

I run a 20" light bar on mine, so there is no need to punch it, oils just fine!

I really like mine with just a minor muffler mod. Some of them need some time to break in, but mine seemed fine right off the bat.

 

[rumatt]

Cool, thanks. I hadn't seen that mentioned anywhere.

I'm glad you like yours!

I was curious how much a muffler mod will do for these saws. I've read they come stock with a more aggressive muffler already. The porters aren't making as many gains with these as they were older saws.

I thought only the “R” came with the HO oiler. Is that incorrect?

There’s still room for improvement via porting by increasing noise, making them harder to start, and reducing fuel efficiency.

There’s a small pin you push in with a punch on the bottom of the 462 next to the oiler adjustment screw. Allows it to be turned out more. 661 is the same way.

Yes

But it was my understanding the the more expensive R model came with:

HO oiler
Dual Dawgs
3/4 Wrap

Wasn’t that much more, but that’s why I grabbed an R.

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty certain they did away with the HO oiler on those two saws in favor of the “pin” being the “HO pump” option. Saves them money having the same pump on all of them. I’d be curious to see if the pin was already punched in on a R model vs the standard one.

My R model wasn’t punched.

This.

It's not punched in from the factory on the R model. Same-Same as the half wrap.

This sounds like a build thread in the making.

I was under the assumption that the Wrap or Artic model had the HO oiler.

Iam very impressed with my 462 it does have extra bananas build in though

 

[RI Chevy]

Stock oiler? Or did it get the mod?

My R model wasn’t punched in either

Hi Oiler with a 20” bar and the pin in and cranked around oil floods off the bar

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice

All MS 462 versions that come from the factory have the same oil pump.

Thank you sir. So no more HO oiler?

No.
