Does Stihl still make a carbureted version of their MS362?

    I haven't been in a hurry to get the new saw. We haven't gotten much snow this year. I've only plowed four times. We've gotten a lot of rain though and I can't really get back in the woods. Funny thing is, my wife asked me the other day when I was getting it! :)

    It was 70° and sunny all day. Couldn't stop thinking about cutting firewood. Still way to wet out behind the house. :(

    I stopped by Runnings yesterday to see if they had a grease gun and grease tubes I'm looking for to grease my snowplows.

    I walked by the chainsaw area. They didn't have a MS400. They did have a MS362 and a 562XP both with 20" B&C. I almost walked out with the MS362. Gotta compare it to a MS400 side by side again. I'm really liking the MS362. :smoke:

    The 362 is a failure....the 400 is pretty sweet

    He is saying this because it’s heavier slower and less power than 400 for about the same price..

    400 is pretty much best in class for 60cc saws at this point in time

    Everything I've ever seen says the 362 in a half pound or so lighter than the 400.

    Got the MS400C w/20" b&c. The only MS362's they had were the regular carb version.
