Stihl 462

[7sleeper]

Hi guys,

Since I didn't find a thread about this topic and am not aware how many still visit the other forum, I just wanted to share what rumors are going on in Europe about this saw.

Availability around fall 2017
No e carb but full injection system, similar to the cut off saws

What!! I dont embrace the future well.

I had not seen full injection! I do know that since the 461 is the basis for the "rescue" saw, there was concern about going MTronic (I hear it does not like smoke).

I am very encouraged that the Ver II of the 261 and 362 are so much lighter, was hoping for a saw with 460/461 displacement and 044/440 weight, with some addl performance (yea, I don't want much, right!).

I hear the 462 is pictured in the 2017 calendar???

Yeah I dont see any saw there

 

[Dub11]

So really were talking fuel pump and batteries? key less start were does it end!

I heard it comes with a book of incantations to make it work.

I just hope what ever Stihl does it results in a 'better' saw not worse. The 461 is a solid reliable saw and needs to stay that way. Mtronic/AT systems are a stepping stone towards F/I saws, I hope its a saw pros want to use.

From the under hood pics I saw no M-tronic or fuel injection

I have a standing order for two of these when they are released. We will see the inside asap.

The days of sweet an simple are over. I'll wake up to reality soon I hope.

Well hopefully Trump will put a halt to the EPA's bs because it's just gone too far with these saws.

i've pretty much junked out a 07 f150 some because of epa involvement some because its just plain *s-wordty.

Yo can get away with anything here as long as it doesn't blow smoke much or have rust lol.

That's exactly the way I felt when I was a Ford / GM mechanic back in the 70's into the 80's

I used to be able to rip an FE Ford motor down practically blindfolded. When I got the SC kit for the 2006 4.6 ltr, I thought they were speaking a different language! Good thing my Nephew understood it.

It still uses a diaphragm pump and a solenoid to meter the fuel and a throttle position sensor. The cut off saw was so nice in the cold. Easy start anytime
