I’m using a 461 oil control bolt in my ported 261, not a lot of time on it but seems to be much better.

Thanks fellers, got one for my 462 and 261, free shipping at time of order if anyone is thinking about buying.

Do you know the ow part # that fits the 462 filter?

The max flow filters work great on the 1128 series of saws, much better than the HDs. I'm using the oem filter on my ported 462 for now. From what I've read the 500i's factory filter setup seems to have issues with sealing/keeping fines out. I haven't read of such with the 462..

Thanks, I’m using a monkey 462 with a 28” now. A little less torque than the ported 461 I had but much easier on the hands.

Cool videos, I like the detail. How do the 500’s stack up against the 462’s, both ported?

I’ll see how they pan out as more come in, got a ported 261 and 462 to keep me going for now.

Hope that’s not true, not everyone wants mtron.

The Dyno Joe test looked good, starting to see several guys state side with these in hand on the fb groups. Anyone know if a standard carb will be an option?

My mmws 461 was a beast for a 70cc class saw, Stihl's best imo. I only prefer the 462 due to less vibes.

Back on topic, ported 261 with screws ftw.

This the thread I used to determine I wanted a V2... https://opeforum.com/threads/ms462-design-changes.24902/

This brings up another cost factor. The 500i needs a better air filter and suspension(depending on bar length) right out of the box.

I believe a ported 500i would win in that class of saws. I went with a ported 462.
