Stihl M-Tronic Version 3.0

[RI Chevy]

Hooskie needed more versions to try and get it right. Lol

Anything thats tied strictly to the dealer and cant be worked on without software they can keep it. Bunch of *B-S.... IMO. If it can be recalibrated without software thats a different story

Anyone here have a v.3 saw (or coil) yet? I just ordered a new coil for a 661 and it will be a 4703 v.3 coil. Also ordered a new WJ-134 for the same saw and am hoping it has the latest (green) solenoid that has been rumored to start shipping any day now. Would essentially make it a gen 3 saw without the new handle sticker.

Ms 362 has mtronic V3 too in Germany.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Does it have the new green solenoid also?

 

[DND 9000]

I`ve heared the 661 c-m has a new WJ-140 carb with the new solenoid valve. (TI 89.2017?) At the moment I don`t have more information about it.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Thanks for that information. Would certainly like to see the TI you reference and hope it applies to the replacement carb I will be ordering next week. (The WJ-134 was delayed so we'll see what what actually gets ordered.)

 

[nohoff]

The german MS 362 c-m III has new white solenoids
Also 10mm spark plug and some minor changes.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Any idea what the deal is with these green solenoids I've heard about?

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Is there a v.3 MS461 on the horizon or will the MS462 eliminate both the 441 and 461? Haven't been following any developments there if they've been posted somewhere.

461 isn’t mtronic

 

[huskyboy]

I’m gonna guess stihl/husky will run the 372/461 side by side with the new saws till they get the teething issues worked out. Then they will probably phase the old saws out.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Probably a good guess. Always thought there was a c-m option for the MS461 following in the footsteps of the 441 c-m for some reason. Maybe it was from reading about all the wishful thinking back when the 261 c-m was introduced.

 

[RI Chevy]

The 461 was a quad port replacement for the venerable 460 I think. Hence the new replacement 462 coming out.
Just speculating on my part.

 

[nohoff]

The MS 441/461 are no longer available in Germany.
They were replaced by the MS 462.

 

[fordf150]

Version 4.0, buy a Husqvarna 395xp.lmao

that was V2....V3 is stihl trying to regain customer confidence and get them to switch back

 

[Stihlms]

It will be a sad day when the 460/461 can't be had anymore. We are going to miss that rugged saw

 

[RI Chevy]

462 will be bigger,better ,stronger , faster

Damn 10mm spark plug on the 362....these saws are becoming more & more like a Husky. I read the new calibration procedure on last page & it says start saw in ^ master control position and let it idle for 1minute then hold down throttle for 30 seconds. I don't have a 661 but is ^ the normal run position? And will this mean if you start your saw & it idles for a minute then pick it up to cut wood it will be in calibration mode?

 

[ferris]

^ is the start Position only for cold Start
I is the normal run position
