Hey Buckin, not shure if you ran the calibration completely. If you don‘t your saw definitely needs a lot of constant cutting for self calibration . The calibration procedure as supposed by stihl is as following. 1. Let the saw warm up (doesn’t matter if it idles or revs up) 2.stop the saw. 3. start the saw with closed chainbrake. 4. let it idle with closed chainbrake more than 30s and less than 60s. 5. release the chainbrake and give and hold full throttle. The saw will run automatically for about 15s in a mid speed. It then will step up to full speed by it self. You have to keep full throttle and the saw will run on full speed for about 5-10s and then automatically go back to middle speed. This tells you that the calibration is finished. After that the saw will directly run with the correct setup. Hope this will help. Stay safe and go on with your great spirit. Greetings from Germany. Benjamin

211c does not have the M-Tronic system for self-calibration. The smallest saw with M-Tronic is the MS241. It is included in all professional saws from stihl. Greetings and stay safe.

Intellectual honesty is what the world needs more of. Like Richard Feynman (Physicist) said - "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself-and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that." (speaking about what makes a good scientist but I think it's a good rule for everyone to consider). I really appreciate that you are open and honest when you feel you've made a mistake instead of being quiet about it. I don't know much about the engines themselves, so it's helpful and appreciated to have this ongoing conversation. I might even get an older saw at some point to go with my 462 M-tronic, as you've got me more interested in tuning.

I'm glad you figured it out. Finally. Last year was all new to me. I had sold all my carb saws and moved into the M-Tronics and the computer 500i. I had to learn about entirely new ways to operate them properly. Some frustrations and experimenting and it is now all good. With the 500i, I witnessed it twice pull itself thru a slowly closing cut, that would have pinched another saw. Its got that kind of power, to pull itself thru a pinching situation. Amazing!

Hi Buckin, I'm glade your getting thinks figured out with your 500i. Some patience is required to learn these newer electronic saw's as you have found. The new stihl's and the 5 series huskies are very similar, they need the calibration done to get the full potential out of the saws. I think both Stihl and Husky dropped the ball when it comes to explaining the need for the calibration procedures and how to go about doing it successfully on the new saws. I think a video with both you and Donny Walker giving a how to properly calibrate tutorial would be a great contribution to saw community. I hope the shoulder continues to heal for you.

I came into the 500i a little differently. A few respected friends, including a Wildland firefighter, spoke very highly of it. When I bought it, the saw guy at CAL ranch told me she needed to sit and idle for a few minutes, in order to warm up and calibrate. The only criticism of my beloved saw is that using the compression release just made the saw exponentially harder to start. I don't use it and she starts just like she should.

I put up maybe 20 cords a year though, so I don't have the 10,000+ hours of experience of all you pros! I still don't trust the 500i, I'm gonna keep limping along with my 390xp and 555 for a few more years. Someday I'll make the jump to the fuel injected or big autotune saws! Cheers, big dog.

I own various Stihl power equipment. One thing I found with them other than they make awesome products is they need to be loaded to perform peak. It seems like they engineered them to be that way. Even my grass trimmer is that way. Simply runs ands performs better under a heavy load. High rpm of course. I think that’s how the valved two stroke is designed to be used. Full power and fully loaded. Seems that its where they really shine and make that impressive power we want. So, I would suggest not to over buy on a big saw or any piece of power equipment made like this if you really only need to (baby) it to do the majority of your work. Buy a little smaller and push that sucker. It will perform well

Good on you for the honest, calculated chat. I think your issue with the way the 500i behaves in small wood could be over looked totally because it simply is a big saw designed for big wood. Is just not designed for that task I don’t think. I cut allot of firewood, have 35cc/16”, 56cc/20” & 79cc/28” saws and I find it far easier to use the appropriate size saws for the size of the wood. Particularly using the small saws in small wood as is so much lighter and less fatiguing. I realise you prefer to stand up and Buck with a big saw but maybe also consider that’s not what that animal was intended for perhaps? Let it be what it is, if it wasn’t good in big wood then yeah, I’d say it was junk!

If the rakers (depth gauges) are left high. As their purpose is to set the depth of cut ... the depth of cut will decrease as the depth guages become higher in relation to the cutting teeth. thus The load on the engine, through the load on the chain will become less Thus The engine will rev higher. While cutting efficiency lessens. That's a basic causality chain, (ha, accidental pun) though there are more cause-effect things going on. (Depth guages makes more sense to me as a name because I think the main thing raking and moving the chips would be the cutting teeth with the depth gauges also doing this a little, though their primary purpose for being on the chain is to prevent the teeth cutting deeper than the depth gauges physically allow.) sincerely david
