Damn, a pic with the GB maul AND the 462!! That's the best thread re-rail I've ever seen, hands-down! Good work Steph.

But thats a MS 362 in the Picture

I'm not loyal to a certain brand of saw but i bet even a die hard husky guy secretly wants a 462!

So, here's a quick video of the 462 slightly ported (only leveled up transfers and some smoothing and widening on the exhaust) with a deleted base gasket. My machining mate had no time to work on the cylinder last week (because of flu and holiday) so i decided to make an intermediate step with the saw (normally i do not).

i was throttle happy but's so much fun with that saw




The saw is a blast to work with! Power to weight is amazing, even only after all these free mod's! It's hard to find a reason to touch a stock 562xpg again after this enjoyment, with all the 72cc power at the same weight

Now, i hope my mate has some time to set up the squish and base cut this week. I want more

Absolutely awesome. I know the vids can be a little deceiving, but to me it looked like you were using a 261CM with that small bar.
Nice job so far. It should be a complete animal after full port job. [emoji106]
Thanks for sharing all this with us.

Wow! This little beast might make the OE 372XP invalid!

 

[ABarrick]

The throttle response looks incredible. Sounds pretty bada$$ too. Is it 2018 yet...dang it I want one of these.

 

[blsnelling]

Does anyone know if American distributors have these and are just setting on them until they are released? I need to get my hands on one of these!

I know of one distributor gargling on 461s. Once they get those sold down the 462 will come out. Just like the 441s showing back up. It's all about inventory control and getting rid of parts and saws.
The Dealers are being told that they will be out the end of next year, that they are making sure everything is right with the 462.
After watching Steph's videos (thank you) I'd say they have things right enough for me. Let's go!

Awesome video there @StephK87 and pics thanks for sharing

 

[rocco490]

cool saw awesome throttle response looks strong cant wait to see the gains fully ported. Whats it blowing with the gasket delete and whats the compression show stock?

 

[CR888]

If I bought a 70cc saw, had it ported & it ran like that I'd be pretty happy. That's how a $1000 70cc pro saw 'should' run right off the shelf! Poor Husky....they r gonna hate this saw.

 

[Cigmaker]

Impressive!

It's something off topic I know, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU! This forum and it's community are just awesome! Never before i've enjoyed a forum so much! And it is not even in my language.... Again, thank you guys! I hope I can be a part of it for a long time. I will do my best to improve my language and content.

Now, back to topic

the cylinder went back to my buddy for machining today, he is healthy again from his flu last week. I also took holiday on tuesday and wednesday to get it done.

And i'm in contact with a buddy, biggest husky dealer in our region, maybe I get a 572 test saw before christmas (unfortunately i must leave it stock ). If it works, i can compare it to my own 462 (with heated handles) that will show up in the end of november, would be a very interesting match up in terms of sheer (stock) engine performance, because the battle for handling and weight is definitely over in my opinion.
