Inside the MS462C

[Willard]

Here's my 261with same master control icons as the 462 and has a choke butterfly.
Been running Huskies too long.

I'm sure it has a butterfly, but a M Tronic saw will run in "start", not just spit, so it is a little different.

Yeah the mtronic system kinda helps with that. It's still a choke

@StephK87
What is your next step?
Some Stock vs Stock Videos pls

 

[AlexSwan]

Hey everyone, thought I’d sign up and join the fun after Steph referred me to this thread.

A very non scientific comparison, nevertheless the 462 just rocks!

Heaps more to come.

Cheers

 

[RI Chevy]

Welcome. Keep the vids coming.

 

[RI Chevy]

Maybe try using same bar and chain with the different saws fir a more even comparison.
Both saws stock?

Yeah and maybe a comparable saw

 

[AlexSwan]

Yes, both saws were stock. The 365 was all we had to play with that afternoon.
Like I said "very non scientific" just a bit of fun to make the super awesome 462 look even more super awesome. Can't wait to chuck a 28" bar on it and do the muffler mod.

which saw felt better?
8 pin for both saw probably a little too much.
572 bit weaker or where does the time difference come from, pushed too much?

 

[StephK87]

I choosed the 8pin to put more stress on both saws in that kind of wood. No difference in pushing, just two regular, self feeding cut's as always. Surprisingly the 462 handled the 8pin just a tad better. But after porting, the cards are being reshuffled

You can definitely feel the weight advantage of the 462. Even with the good handle geometry of the 5xx Series, up to 25" bar's the 462 has the edge in my opinion in terms of handling. It's just lighter and more nimble.

 

[StephK87]

Just for fun, a 661 stock and after porting in the same kind of wood. You still can't explain away a 20cc difference.
Will be interesting to see what the 500i will do with 80cc and claimed 6,8hp.

 

[ferris]

yes 20cc make a huge difference.
although stock 120cc are probably slower than the Stock 661 xD
