MS462 Design Changes

[RI Chevy]

Why didn't they discover this when they were being tested ???

 

[Philbert]

They absolutely do not want to admit that the change was because of piston breakage. Can you blame them?

Absolutely. They could spin it as, ‘ it was an engineering design improvement to strengthen the pistons‘ without going into detail about past failures.

Now, I don’t trust them. If they are evasive about this, what else are they evasive about? If their regional sales reps are that uninformed, why would I ask them questions? How are they supposed to educate dealers, who then educate customers?

Everything. Why would anyone trust them? They are a global corporation that cares about nothing but profit.

Lack of solar flares? Wrong moon phase? Who knows?

You doin ok Jeffus?

 

[Mastermind]

Just curious. Do you have pics about broken pistons? Never seen a pics on the interweb.

I had a customer send a picture of one. I've tried to find it....but no luck.

I’ve seen pictures of a few, along with the 461 and 661. That flange is the common denominator between the 3

Doing fine sir. Laying low.
Ask a Hooskie Rep a question about a 592. They look at you like you have 3 heads. They are all alike. Evasive.

Buy and use Stihl with confidence. We got guys here that make'em run better than new!

How you doing on the plateau sir?

Truth seems to be a liability nowadays!

Randy I just checked my non-in Tronic you just did for me, do you know off the top of your head if it’s the new version from what I can tell the number is bigger so I’m assuming it’s the new version.
