Inside the MS462C

[blsnelling]

The design does look very similar to husky strato layout, well except for that wonky exhaust port.

The porting is nearly identical to the 261 and 241, except the front transfer intake ducts.

I just love the small skinny case and complete new design of this new model. Pics look very promising, makes you want one in your hands pointing at a big piece of wood. It kills the myth of the new 4 series not being MT for fire/rescue saws. I hope the States get these on the shelves asap.

Here's a video of Stephen's saw.

Tease...

Mike, Stihl seems to think it will oil more. Here is the description from the"features tab" on the website.

• 
  STIHL Ematic with new oil pump system
  The new oil pump system allows a higher volume of oil to be delivered. This is especially useful in dusty conditions or when using a long guide bar.

Interesting they didnt specify the length of the "long" blade.

For the general masses- stock will be sufficient. The weirdos on these sites (myself included) probably make up 1/10th of 1 percent of gross sales for these companies annually. In line with that- 99.9% of users will be completely satisfied with the saw.

So do you think if this saw with only a muffler mod ran with a ported 461 it would be sufficient ?

@StephK87

Can you tell how much space is under the divider between the main crankcase and the transfer feed tunnel?

I refuse to read into it any but the longest bar listed on the international site if 45cm (20"), but that is also the way the 461 is listed too.

In case anyone hasn't seen it yet here is the listing on the Stihl international site.

yes.

 

[Iceboy]

does this saw have prefiltration?

the answer I got is it does

Accorging to what I see from the pictures, it does have.

[2stroke800]

Pollution controls unfortunately are needed. I can remember seeing and smelling rivers here in Tennessee that were so polluted that they were dark brown and devoid of life. I also remember the Tennessee Valley around Knoxville being thick with smog. Today those same rivers are beautiful, and even with many more people, the smog is gone.

Without wading into a political discussion I'll just say that without any controls, the world as we know it

Remember......this is coming from a guy that hops up engines......

Finding that fine line between preserving the future for my grandkids and over regulation is something we should strive for rather than using these things as political battering rams.

Well then....
I never said "eliminate" regulations

But the reality of it is FAR more ecological progress is achieved through innovation and education then would ever be obtained through regulation.

And that is what seems to be happening with this latest generation 462

I'm hoping it will oil a 34-36".

No you don't. You don't like those stinkin Stihl's. Lol

How beefy does the bottom end and bearing pockets on the cases look? Hope the bottom ends strong and wasn't sacrificed for weight savings. This saw will be a winner as long as its durability is good

If it won't do that then a husky or Dolmar is a better choice

says New Stihl MS 462, First cut, cookies cut.

So I would say bone stock

Thanks for the clarification sir. Just looked strong for a stock saw.

Eggzackly!
We like stihls just fine when they are better than the rest. I don't care if Playschool builds a Saw, if it's the best, I'll run it, and give credit where it's due.
Even if they build it out of legos! [emoji33]
