Stihl MS500i Service after an Oooffff

[@Brian2bears]

Excellent vid Mr. Richard, +462 oil pump roll-pin...

[@aaronpowell4885]

Twas definitely in the hands of a smooth operator😎 Guess I don't use my saws enough, as I haven't yet experienced floppy case syndrome👀😅 Thanks for sharing your job security👍🏻

[@cajun3197]

Ooof I need to check the elasticity of my case half’s just in case they’re out of spec. Glad you reminded me of that detail. Easily over lookted 😂😂😂😂

[@jerseyjoshua4818]

Rich has that Fired🔥Up Friday jokes... absolutely totally normal maintenance after the saw meets a wheel.

[@oldcodger1929]

I'd hand that dude a hand saw until he learns how to operate a chainsaw. Enjoy your day sir.

[@ihateleftards]

I'm gonna go buy an 064 tomorrow. Too much bullshit on new saws.

[@donmayberryjrsOPE]

I know right!? The average guy can't work on them. But then again..... who's average? 👀🤣🤣

[@em4703]

@@donmayberryjrsOPE If you can't work on this saw, you can't work on any saw properly, sorry. It's not like you got to write lines of code for it or other nerdy stuff, it's still the same things that fail like any carbureted saw. You still got a diaphragm fuel pump, you still got seals, crank, piston, sparkplugs etc. The injector can be refurbished by changing 2 parts in it (if it ever needs it). I never saw electronics ever failing on a 500i, nor on the injection concrete saw they also sell for over a decade now. And that thing sees dust and water continuously, yet the electronic board keeps going.

[@richardflagg3084]

064's make good wheel chocks too....

[@ihateleftards]

@@richardflagg3084 I hope I never have to find out. Hahahaha

[@tobysmith8032]

Good tip on the seal installation, I have been using this method for years, works every time! 👍

[@thomasgronek6469]

Wow, such a magnanimous gesture by Stihl (bar studs, and bearing)

[@em4703]

Some people should be using only the tools that the Swartzentruber Amish do. But I think even a hammer and a pull handsaw wouldn't be safe in the hands of people like this fella..

[@richardflagg3084]

Accidents happen but some people could break an anvil with a feather.

[@dwusuwowy]

Very nice saw stand!

[@richardflagg3084]

Scott Kunz "treemonkey" made it. Dunno if he's still making them, but it's worth every penny

[@sawmanbigtreeslayer2360]

My guess this pro operator gets this saw stuck in wood and then pulls real hard on the tank handle to free it.

[@VintageEngineRepairs]

Great video 😂

[@richardflagg3084]

"Yes"

[@perkypat2214]

Hi Richard, nice video. Is all of this damage a reflection of the poor quality of the saw or the poor behaviour of the user?

[@scottsmith8056]

Glad that wasn't my fault!

[@mikeydesilva8197]

27 happy hours 😍😀😛

[@darrenfrost5775]

just quick question on this rebuild , with the new crankcase you get hardware , new bolts , seal , plus little plastic part , did you find out where this goes , as i am in process of rebuilding a 500i , but cannot see where this part goes , it never fell out the old case when i separated them , so am at a lose ,

[@gradycothran3896]

Rich you must have the same tree guys that I do. It just needs a spark plug

[@richardflagg3084]

Damn near.

[@em4703]

@@richardflagg3084 5:34 you forgot the airfilter foam bushing/seal :P You'd better have put it in there later, if not I doubt this gentleman that owns it would ever check and just run it until dust kills it.

[@richardflagg3084]

@@em4703 Good eye! Thanks

[@sawmanbigtreeslayer2360]

A wheel chock? 😂🤣😂🤣

Thank God l don't have employees l would be in jail now 😜

[@kojirohyuga1050]

Should be good for another 27 hours of work. ;)

[@giuseppelatina2640]

Hi Rich one of your subscribers here in Melbourne Australia what actually happened to this saw? Thanks Regards.

[@richardflagg3084]

Backed over. Could have been worse. Thankfully the fuel tank survived.

[@johnclarke6647]

Richard, do you have an old intake boot band? My new Farmertec ms 250 kit saw did not come with one. The seals that came with the kit, sucked. I put seals in it from Stihl and they worked fine. They even had dust covers, which did not come with the Farmertec seals. Those Farmertec seals were so brittle they disintegrated when I tried to put them on the crank shaft.

[@sawmanbigtreeslayer2360]

What is the experience level of the person that owns this gem?

[@jimssawsnstuff8903]

He said the crew used it for a wheel chalk, meaning it got run over

[@sawmanbigtreeslayer2360]

@@jimssawsnstuff8903 I got that at the very end. Thanks

[@kenweis7913]

Sorry but you can keep the 500I to complicated to many things to break

[@darrellpeak2914]

Just how much is the boss man’s bill for all this “regular maintenance”?? 😂😂

[@richardflagg3084]

Parts bill was a tick over $600. Took care of him on the labor to make it work.

[@darrellpeak2914]

@@richardflagg3084 Holy crap, he’d have been 2/3 of the way to a new one!

[@meatpie1380]

I got my schaffers oil in today

[@Mike_Mike_0]

Nice video and very informative. What does one have to do to break a case in half? Drop it from a heli?

[@richardflagg3084]

🤣🤣 Actually that part of the case is really thin. It took a pretty good lick tho

[@richevy5224]

What did the piston look like Rich? Was there damage from the broken injector pump?

[@richardflagg3084]

Piston was lightly scored. It would still run. I don't know how or when it got scored. The injector pump housing was cracked where the fuel lines plug in. The metal bracket that holds it in place was bent in. I'll do all the MDG1 diagnostic tests and run it tomorrow. I didn't see any damage around the injector itself. we shall see

[@richevy5224]

@@richardflagg3084 Cool. Thank you.

Funniest video you ever made!!

I guess you can keep your 27 saw. not worth the pain in the neck. Unless it wasnt the saws fault.😁

Just buy a new saw

It's stihl a pile of crap, and the air filtration system stihl isn't better than husqvarna lol
