Well, my Husqvarna 266 started crying this morning when I brought home, from the post office, a new Stihl 462 chainsaw. Thanks Dan! I just hope later on the 266 don't start laughing at me for the decision I made. Man, this saw is nice.

I ordered this saw from Dan "AlfA01" from Greece. I got tired of waiting. The saw was scheduled to be released in the 4th quarter of 2018. Then in January, I went and talked to the local Stihl dealer about ordered me a 462 CM, and he said there is no such thing. I talked to another Stihl dealer and the salesman said, "I have never heard of a Stihl MS 462 CM". I went home and sent her a link of a 462. She said, "Oh, they won't be out until February. so... I sent Dan a PM and asked him to order me a carbureted MS 462, and it came in this morning.

That is what AlfA01 does. He supplies us Americans with some nice saws.
so...
Guys, is there anything I should do to prepare this saw for start up like a dealer would do. I mixed 2.5 oz of Stihl HP Ultra with .8 tenths gallon of 91 octane non ethanol gas. I guess I'm going to run my regular Walmart bar oil in it. Oh, and I will soak the chain in some oil.
