I lost contact on the 462 prototype, maybe should have waited a bit longer before showing the photos.
But I hear there's a fuel injected MS661 being tested in Indonesia and it's reported it is performing better then expected. No pics.

That's cool. Might have been a bit quick on the other pictures

I am sure that if I purchase a 461, a 462 would come to market really soon after that.

Maybe I should start a 'Go Fund Me' page ?

You may want to hurry as the IRS may not have checked them out yet. :D

Talked with the dealer today. He had a meeting yesterday and was informed that Stihl has no plans in the making for a 462. Guess we will see who's full of crap.

I was told mid to late October for any new product announcements, by some reps.

Might be timed for one of the big shows (TIA, or GIE).

(Burt they did not leak what those announcements might include!)

I thought I'd  tease you all a little.
What do you think of this new MS462 or what ever their going to call this 77cc saw?
Looks a little bit in the lines of the new  generation 562XP laid back cylinder  design
Recently thinking about buying a new edition MS261 with heated carb / handles and setup with the 63PS chisel chain .
With the research I've done on both the newer 261 and 362 it led me back to this thread.

First off I think my 2 year old #1 post prototype pictures IS a 77cc unit from comparing pics of the latest 261/362.

*The fuel tank looks larger from viewing the clutch side picture.
*The rewind housing intake grill looks larger relative to the round Stihl badge and a different shape.
*The air filter area of the top cover is longer going back further over the rear handle.
*The front AV spring is mounted verticle to accept a larger bar versus the horizontal mounted 261/362 spring.
*Plus the metal top handle tells me it's a heavy duty pro saw.

Thoughts?

To add to my last post, here's 2 more new pics of the mystery saw.  ;)
Notice the vertical mounted spring, that tells me better support for a long b/c. Also notice the oversized stamped dog.

Whether it's 72cc or 77cc I think it could be made into either as I remember the 044 and 046 compatible models.
But I'm strongly leaning towards a 77cc model.
