My dealer just got in a stihl 462 non mtronic . Has a regular carb . I didnt know they were available in the US .  Does anyone have any  experience with one ?  I have my name on it until tomorrow.  Have a 500i and want another one or a 462 . But they cant get them . All backordered.  Then this saw showed up . Welcome any information i can get on it to decide if i buy it . Thanks

Haven't owned a 462. Have a 461 with reg carb. Coming up eight years zero issues. If I ran across a new 462 with reg carb at a normal price I would own it. I ran across a couple new 461 reg carb saws a couple years ago and they want crazy money for them. Pre Covid.

Im going to pick up this 462 today.  Its on the stihl usa website. As a new product. 
No info on hp . Im thinking it will be a real saw !

I'm sure it'll be great, and indistinguishable from the cm version, aside from occasionally having to operate a screwdriver.
