The 500i is dope for big changes in operating elevation. I routinely move from 4200' to 8500' and back again day to day. With my other saws it seems like I am always dinking around with carbs. Not much to do on the 500i. It might take a few seconds to figure the mix out once it starts, but it always gets it right (if not a bit rich). The 500i just seems to always idle better with no screwing around. You start it, and it runs until you push the stop button. I feel like if you are working a bunch of elevations, it may be worth a few hundred bucks to not have to mess around: at all. I believe that my 500 always takes 3 pulls to start at the beginning of the day. I assume it is charging the run capacitor that supplies the electronics with power. So it seems like 3 in the morning, then first pull the rest of the day.

I work for USFS fire and we just got a 500i this season. The M-Tronic system is pretty amazing. The saw would run a little rich or lean at first but eventually it would "tach" itself out and the low high would be pretty spot on. I have noticed it will go through gas faster than the 461 and 462. Great saw for work in varying elevations. We run it with a hallow 28" bar and it is a joy to run all day. Great video!

Had that chain sharpened after a week of milling and then dropped the rakers for logging. Running 25”,28” and 32” bars. Have noticed that if the weather gets hot and the saw is sitting for a while the pressure in gas tank need to be relieved to make starting easier. God I love carbide chain. Thanks for review glad you’re liking the saw.

It's not quite a primer button -- rather than pumping fuel into the carb, it mainly pumps air out of the fuel system. The computer can't calculate for air very well so if you get rid of it it starts predictably. I know that it amounts to the same but the engineering logic is completely different.

The real issue is that Stihl shut down the factory making the parts for the 500. When it is so relatively new, and they make replacement parts a rarity or even impossibility, it makes the 462 much more desirable. I'm an arborist. They are both easily comparable. I've ran both a fair amount, and I loved every minute of running a 500.
