stihl ms 362 m-tronic?

[dpcutter]

So why does Stihl have a 441 m-tronic, but not a ms 362?..seems everyone like the m-tronic better then then conventional saw. I would think it would better compete with the Husqvarna 562xp, as it's autotune..

They will all be M-Tronic and Auto tune soon enough.

It's not really about what saw geeks dream up as cool, but rather what will sell in the market place. Adding $80 to the price of the MS441 for the M-Tronic version resulted in a success. Doing the same to a lower price point saw might not sell as well.

It's all about EPA regulations, From what i understand Husky developed auto Tune and Stihl Bought the
Patent so they could comply with epa regulations. Stihl just calls there Auto Tune - M-Tronic
Just the way i understand it, I could be wrong?

You are right as far as I know, except that Stihl can't use the 2.nd generation Autotune.

Why does 2nd generation AutoTune require primer, full choke, and half choke? It just seems a little behind M-Tronic in refinement to me.

Chainsaws shouldn't have primer bulbs!
