Unfortunately, it's not. That pic came from a friend in Germany.

Does your friend have more pics?
Was it a regular carb?

Thats better!!! Lol, Both nice saws though

The 462 is coming in the end of 2017

Newest rumor over here is that the new 462 will have the injection system from Stihl. So no traditional and no e carb but a real injection system.

a new saw will have the injection, not the 462

Wow I wonder how much better it will make the saw run, any ideas????

Do you guys think guys will be buying the ms461s because they like them and don't know how reliable the new technology will be????

I don't know if it will run any better but it will definitely be heavier and bulkier.

Not sure I buy that rumor...FI works in a cut off saw where weight isn't such a factor but for a saw model popular in falling and wildfire camps it doesn't make sense, IMO.

 

[blekman]

larger as far as i know.
havent read the info, have been told, is not known to the general public

That only leaves the 661. No sense in putting new technology in the dino 880.

or a new saw

seems to me it would make the most sense putting new tech like fuel injection in the 441 replacement since that is the beta testing model. those pics of 462 look kind of ugly to me, that saw better have great anti-vibe, air filtration, and sound mean to compete

The 462 pictured in the 2017 calendar does not have a C designation, so it does not seem like it will be a M-Tronic saw.

Likley a light weight, 461 upgrade with spring AV and advanced Air Filtration. At least, that is my guess.

If that's the case, I'll own one for sure. That sounds like a winner to me. I didn't think Stihl would replace the 461 but I guess it makes sense with the 441 being discontinued. Good idea to have a non Mtronic saw in the pro lineup, IMO. This is likely due to the saw being so popular in wildfire and rescue applications. Low oxygen environments can make the Mtronic system unreliable from what I have heard. I wish the standard carb option was available for every model.

I just noticed on line recently that the 261 is listed as both M-Tronic, and not??? Surprised me!

Long overdue, I've been saying they needed to do that for a while. I think the word has gotten out about the potential reliability and cost problems associated with Mtronic/Autotune.
