Does Stihl still make a carbureted version of their MS362?

    For less than 1/2 of a new saw, huskihl could hot-rod that 346 and make it out cut most 60cc saws.

    Even the dog looks like he’d rather have a ported 346 than a 362

    ;)

    All kidding aside, if I get a MS362, I want a 20" bar w/non-safety chain. Which Stihl chain is best for basic firewood cutting, mostly clean wood?

    FYI, a huskihl 346xp variant with all the goodies will out cut most stock 70cc saws in wood up to 18". Not to rain on the Ms362 parade too much, but they kinda suck in stock trim.

    XS Jred 346xp variant: (4) XS 2149/53 20” 3/8 - YouTube

    Stopped by a dealer yesterday. They have both the MS362 (carb) and MS362C-M w/20" b&c listed for $820 plus tax. The best dealer we have around here from a service standpoint, is a Husky and Stihl dealer. Gotta stop and see them before I buy.

    Gonna be a few months, maybe even winter before I'm gonna buy.
