Ms362 specs,pics.

[STIHLTHEDEERE]

i ran the new ms 362 yesterday,it was a preproduction model.but it was very well thought out,and put together.it looked to be ready for production to me.i have several pics. to post,my pics are 428mb or kb?,the limit on the site is 300kb/mb? i will need help with that,the pics. are good,but not great. any way the specs are as follows: bar size,16-28"(i ran a 20"),62cc,5.1hp,12.8lbs,15,800 max rpm,it has the electronic carb like the ms280.i was told the motor is all new with a large bore & short stroke.the air filter is huge compared to a 361,they seemed to do a good job of stuffing it under a similar sized housing.we compared it to many saws,i have a very good running 361,and it spanked it handily.with a 20" bar it was going thru well seasoned oak,like hot knife through butter.the 441 we were running had a 25" bar on it,and the 362 was right there with it! all saws were running new full skip chains. the new official name of the saw will be the MS362PRO. i will post pics as soon as we get it figured out.

I hope what you say is true because that sounds like an awesome go to saw. Lets see some pics once you get it straightened out and hopefully it will be out before the end of the year.

Those specs looks really good - but 15,800 max rpm sounds very high!

Was the vibration level noticeably less?

Do you know if it uses it use the standard STIHL spark plug and scrench, or a smaller one like the MS211?

Any info when it will be available for sale?

Thanks.

The clue to that was, Short stroke big bore. just like a F1 car

WOT speed means bugger all . As TW states its what it turns in the wood that matters.

Ive got a 242XP its set just below 15,000 and turns 10,000 - 11,000 in the cut. sounds great

cutting at wot it does have quite a sound all its own,it is very quiet compared to my ms361.it appears to have a 2 piece cat-type muffler,and i think it is all stainless. one half is painted,and the other is raw metal.

Irfanview is a freeware photo/picture resizer that i used to use.
Works well too.

I notised that, but the load still will be very high each time that piston changes direction! opcorn:
