How to calibrate your Stihl MS462

[@br-dj2ti]

Should I do this everyday when I use my saw first thing in the morning or just one time and I'm done doing it forever

[@jamescrossley7784]

I would do it once as it's auto adjustment this is after a service or after served

[@joecostello8452]

Is this for the mtronic

Hello do you have tested compression on a ms462 in good Health for idea?

[@prescribedfire1953]

RB I am buying this saw next week. I live at 30’ elevation. I work at 2000’ and on occasion at 6000’ feet. Should I recalibrate when changing elevations? I always am tuning my current saws.

I'm guessing NOT. from the stihl manual... 17.1 STIHL M-Tronic Engine Management SystemThe STIHL M-Tronic engine management system electronically controls the ignition timing and fuel metering in any operating condition, factoring in altitude and fuel quality. This system provides optimum performance, whether you are just starting to work or resuming after a break.

[@KorbinValentine-b5h]

Yes you should

Why without the orange cap ?

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

I like your tachometer bracket, a piece of copper tubing?

[@Redbull661]

yes sir

[@benredmond8271]

How often should you calibrate?

[@Redbull661]

only when your having issues, make a change to the saw...such as modding the muffler or coil change or solenoid change, stuff like that. Maybe a major change in elevation. I am looking into that. Another guy asked that and I just don't have to deal with that issue so I don't know.

I like to calibrate mine at the start of each day of work so to speak. That seems to work fine for me. I had to actually explain this procedure to my local Stihl dealer as I think he didn’t do the training on the updated mtronic calibration and was advising people the old way of doing for 661s etc.

I just bought a 462. And it running weird, it revs like a bat out of hell on idle. I check there is no air leak.

Which is better to buy Ms 462? Or buy MS 462 C-M? God bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. Glory to God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit forever and ever, Amin.

I bought the cm but if I knew this before I bought I would have bought the other one with just the carburetor but get the 462 it’s a badass
