I was told the line that assembles them for here has been getting totally refurbished/modernised. That tidbit is a almost 2 months old. Who knows.
They have not been sold in the US for a couple years maybe. The 462 is available in some countries in Europe. IIRC it was 72cc, 6.5hp, and really light.
The ms441 is available again in the USA. All I heard was they were having quality issues when they suspended production. No idea if the price is the same as before.
I had a 441 and I must say I wasn't much impressed. I sold it for what I paid for it and bought a 461 and have been ever after! Hope the new one is better.
Me too. I was hoping it would be fuel injected but I bet is going to be MTRONIC. I found the specs. 72cc 6hp 13.2lbs STIHL MS 462 C-M
If we ever meet, you are welcome to take my MMWS MS441C-M for a spin. Everybody walks away from that one wondering how the hell the 441 gets a bad rap. I think the later MS441C-M's were noticeably better than the earlier units.
I don't remember mine being a C M. Seems to me it had standard screw adjustments for the carb. It was about 6 or 7 years ago thst I bought it. But I'm old and the memory ain't what it used to be. What is this thread about?
