Stihl MS500i Fuel Injected: Is It Really Worth The Hype??

The world's first saw without a carburetor is here. Meet the Stihl MS500i. The "i" stands for innovation and injection. The acceleration is extremely fast and the power to weight ratio is amazing.

The P25 did most all of my cutting. But my P50, "the screamer", was used for the "big schtoof", especially red & white oaks (hard as granite!). I was in my mid 30s in those mid & later 1970s (I'm now 79). How I greatly miss those most wonderful years as a bachelor & strong as "a bull" (stinky as one too!)!!! Owned 120 acres all to myself & my nearest & only neighbor was a mile away! Got down to -60°s one winter! Always carried a Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 magnum with me in the woods. I've had a very blessed life!!! I try to thank God for it all, in Christ Jesus!!!!! "Gesundheit" & put annudder birch log on the fire for me poleaze! Miss those most wunnerful smells of a wood fire!

I'll have to say that time brings changes and this is just a natural progression. Fuel injection is the future for numerous reasons and yes it is extremely reliable in today's engines. I'm sure it will be just as reliable in smaller engines as it is developed. As my dad use to say, "boys the days they are a changing!" A truer statement has never been made!

[@51WCDodge]

Except now with good rechargable battries, especially in urban use, no exhaust, quieter and powerful electric saws do a better job. Charging off a small generator or a vehicle. Maintince on the motor, virtually nil,

[@samtuck6400]

@@51WCDodge I agree with you about the advancements in battery technology. It still has a ways to go to fit into pro/semi pro cutting but the push continues. For a homeowner with relatively limited work they are a real option. We still have a ways to go for extended cutting. Charging batteries with a generator is extremely inefficient.

[@51WCDodge]

@@samtuck6400 The tecnology is improving but how far it can go is the question. I'd agree the major concerns at the moment are cost of battries and charge/running time.Though one other concern is the lack of interchangabilty in batteries, you are tied to one manufactruer. .My favourite tool is a donkey years old Hydraulic saw that pluga into the hydrulic pto of a tractor. The down side is you hoses atached the up side is it just keeps going, including under water.

This is great and all but these new high end electric saws are getting pretty good and my 1976 carb stihl is still running great

[@Hellsong89]

Just uncovered -75 or something Jonsered Raket RS52E. Bloody thing was unused roughly 30-40 years, jammed, but after oiling and moving things back and forth it started to loose up and even had spark from the get go. Recon i can get it running tomorrow, if i can find some gas hose and carbs membranes are not dead. It sure weights a ton, but seems to be reliable just like Stihl 029 that run on 3rd pull with old gas after sitting 5 years. I would like to see MS500i after sitting even a year unused. Probably cant even repair it due the damn fancy electronics failing after while.

[@williammitchell8247]

New chainsaws have crap carbs on them and you are not legally allowed to adjust them after the completely break in after a year or so. Your old saw is a rare gem to have. Those of us who don't have an old one like you, need a fix for these new carbs saws.

Personally, I LOVE this.. Fuel injection is not only more efficient meaning you'll get more run time from one tank but its also more powerful. I don't know if I'll buy this one, I never buy the initial product just so they can fix the bugs but I WILL be buying one in the next year or two.

[@kainhall]

a properly set up carb will do exactly the same as fuel injection..... you still want the same air-fuel mix sure.... it takes a LOT more work and skill to set up a carb correctly....... while most EFI systems auto adjust in seconds might make starting it quicker, however thats really the whole point.... less maintenance.... and jim bob cant fuck with the carb ..... then leave a 1 star review because it runs like shit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- but then again...... my old 77 chevy pickup with a 400 cubic inch v8, full time 4 wheel drive, and a mechanical secondary Q-jet 4 barrel carb .....it gets 10mpg.... on a good day ANYWAY..... it will start in -50f, with no block heater..... when my 97 to 06 GM cars....even with block heaters plugged in, wont start (only 1/4 of kids showed up to school that day) pull the choke... pump it twice, and turn it over VA! ROOM! fires right up but ive got all smog deleted (montana has ZERO emissions laws)..... and rebuilt the carb my self spent DAYS dialing it in but god damn does it run good...... only has ~35,000 miles on it, due to the fuel economy (which is mostly the full time 4 wheel drive....and aerodynamics like a brick)

[@cjm6271]

I always enjoy seeing the expertise of your brother's saw work. Today's video prompted a couple questions. I would love to hear your brother explain his techniques of cross-cutting his felled tree. I noticed that he makes a cut around the circumference with the tip of his saw before finishing the center part of the crosscut. I'm assuming it has to do with avoiding getting his saw pinched. The other technique I noticed today was the two small flat cuts on either side of his hinge wood. I would enjoy hearing from him both how this helps him and how I should do it correctly myself. Thanks!

[@julianeaston8607]

I'm no expert, far from it but I suspect Tim does those flat cuts by the hinge to clear the bark, and is then better sighted to keep his bore cut straight and true to line for the hinge.

[@JohnMcNerney]

The two small cuts on either side of the hinge help to prevent fiber pull. If you've ever seen a stump with "horns" of wood sticking up from one or both ends of the hinge, that's fiber pull: you've pulled some of the wood out of the butt of the log. Not a big deal if you are cutting firewood, but it can ruin the end of a saw log: the log's grade may be reduced due to the defect: fewer or shorter good boards can be sawed out of it since those chunks are missing. If you are cutting a veneer-grade log (which can be big Dollar/ big Krona selling price), significant fiber pull can cause it to be downgraded to a saw log. The likelihood of this happening varies with the species of wood. The chance also increases significantly if your felling cuts are down near the root flare of the stump. (As a side benefit, as @Julian Easton noted, it does make it easier to see what hinge dimensions you are setting up.)

They answered the questions well.

It weighs 11% (13.6687-12.3=1.3687 lb) more than my MS 361 but has about 55% more bhp (6.8-4.4=2.4). Great if you are a pro and money is not tight.

I run an ms660 with 066 muffler , an Tsumura 36" bar daily. Looking forward to same power lighter saw.

[@davidsignor7931]

I have a 066 only a 28 inch bar I use it for larger cuts my ms360 does the rest I can tell you I would not want to run the 066 all day good when needed but too heavy

[@wendychen8750]

we have produces the chainsaw 066,with a 25inch.bar and chain,but you can choose a 36inch.bar

Can we get a fuel injected trimmer to attach the power rubber and nylon bristle broom?

[@lanedexter6303]

Interesting little saw. When this technology shows up in big saws and Loggers put them to work, we will learn about reliability and longevity.

[@Jenuin]

I miss my 880 but this looks dangon sweet EFI in a 2stroke. I hope I see that for my cr500 soon muhahahhhaa

[@joeykimball5705]

There are several other dirtbike manufacturers with fuel injected 2 strokes. Though theyre not 500cc lol

[@ScoopDaddy488]

Honda is coming out with a new cr500 with 92hp, 44hp more than the previous and is 33 pounds lighter as well. I don’t think you would be worrying about fuel injection when you are impregnated into a tree lol.

Dude. All of my injuries are from attempting just that. Lol and I so love knowing this. If you find anything on KZbin link it here. 🤜 hell yeah!

[@jacobjordan7644]

They have had fuel injected for CR500 for quite some time men dash lady not quite sure your background pictures misleading

[@hakonandrelandsverk1229]

Not to criticize, but the STIHL MS500i is the first chainsaw with ELECTRIC injection. Not at all the first saw in the world with injection. Actually there are several older chainsaws that had a type of injection. For example the Norwegian "Bamse", from the 50ˋs, which had a mechanical injection driven by a valve on the crankshaft. Nice video by the way! :D

[@thomaswilliamfirby180]

Håkon Andrè Landsverk sach dolmar has a fuel injected carb so your right lots of fuel injected chainsaws of one kind or another 😀

[@NaruSanavai]

Every combustion engine has fuel injection, so you're just arguing semantics and/or technicalities.

[@thomaswilliamfirby180]

Naru 'Sanav some engines are carburated so not all engines have fuel injection 🤪

[@etherealrose2139]

My carbureted saws aren't fuel injected. Air passing through a constriction by the jet port creates a venturi vacuum and sucks fuel into the intake. So try again.

[@NaruSanavai]

@@etherealrose2139 That's _mechanical_ fuel injection, which is the precursor to _electric_ fuel injection. "Try again", indeed.

[@furulund]

I recently found your channel by chance and are now catching up with your progress the last couple of years. It has been a blast, love your videos! I'am a little bit curious about your youtube ventures, are you sponsored by the tools you are rewieving, and are you getting any ad revenue from youtube? You sure are worth it for your effort.

[@lifeisgood070]

Cuts pretty fast there. 20" bar is generally pretty small for that size though. My 362 works well into 25" bars, but doesn't cut that fast no matter what I do. Stihl is great either way.

[@TheeJMC]

Does it run at higher RPM than older saws? It sounds faster.

[@calebwillhelm2635]

No it just runs gayer

[@NaruSanavai]

Maybe not higher RPM per se, but you _do_ make better power-to-weight with less fuel.

[@yotaismygame]

You ever run ported saws? If you haven’t I can see why you think it’s so amazing. Not saying it isn’t though.

After the pie cut, what was the purpose of the small vertical cuts you did before performing the back cut?

Or something else we don't have to re-tune every month of the years because THREE DEGREES MORE BOY NOW THE A/F RATIO IS GARBAGE DO THAT AGAIN FROM SCRATCH. And has more power and less heavy. Not all change is bad change.

In MotoGP/GP500 there were injectors on 2 strokes 20+ years ago. What did took so long to apply them on chainsaws. I hope it gets common in the near future.

Small engine fuel injection systems seem to be very problematic and surely with equipment being used in demanding environments such as a chainsaw the simpler the better. I dont doubt the electronics will be the first to fail.
