Chainsaw Repair

Or buy a 462 arctic which we can get fairly easy

Well parts finally showed up the other day. Still waiting on the on/off switch cover should be here next month.
Called my dealer they say we need the saw to pull the data from the original control unit with it installed on the saw. Thought I could just take both control units and swap data not the case. Something about a more complete file if installed on saw. Dealer called stihl tech to confirm. They say they can save the files on computer then transfer to new control unit . Hopefully tomorrow afternoon.

Once done with that, get saw back and install heated parts and a few other things.

Kevin are you still a member on ope or did you have your fill

Left long ago. 
Info just wasnt there anymore.

Forums are pretty much dead for awhile now.

Just use this one to store saved info anymore myself.

Have a thread on this deal over there. Was trying to mention you. But would not let me . Makes sense now. Wish the forums were still thriving like the old days.

What you was trying to tell me?

= All the parts minus the on/off switch cover, finally shipped from the UK yesterday. Stihl delayed it twice adding about 2 months to get.

The switch cover is now orderable from the uk it was not originally listed for sale. But the dealer came through i guess by pressure to get them to list it. So that is ordered with them seeing it by beginning of February. Gotta come from Germany.

Just might have it put together before spring. Picked up a new 500 about 2 weeks ago to do the conversion.

Pictures and build to come once parts arrive.

Parts arrived. Still waiting on the cover for the on off switch. Hopefully here next month some time. 3 days from the uk to me i was impressed.

Yep. That sums it pretty well. Mainly for the pictures. Text is text regardless of platform. I will email you the pictures if you want to post them here as I cant seem to get them small enough. Dont use Tapatalk either.

Sure email them if you like. Either of the ones here under username should work.
