I’m old school. I don’t like electrical sensors on my saws. I want pure mechanical

@@cascaderetriever7618 I'm old school too but unfortunately when I showed up for class I found that the whole dang school was closed. LOL When ignition points left the scene and were replaced with capacitor discharge ignition (CDI) I was pretty happy and I would have remained that happy had the engineers left it at that but they just keep on engineering. The fact that Stihl now makes an MS661 without the M-Tronic available here in North America says a lot for "German Engineering". I have one on order. I'll review it on some site after I've run it for a couple months but it almost can't be worse than the M-Tronic 661. We've had nothing but trouble with those saws. The one non M-Tronic on our cutting crew was hot rodded and it appears to me that whoever did the porting went slightly too far as it's impossible to get a consistent low speed/idle adjustment out of it. All that being said, the 500i is a pretty incredible saw aside from an occasional mysterious hard starting issue. I run a 36" light bar with an 8 tooth sprocket and 75CJ chain at .035 ground on an SDM4 and HDG. It will pull a 42" bar if need be but not with command. I have over 1000 hours on mine and I'm very satisfied with it. The test in this video wasn't much of a test but still interesting. Be safe out there.

@@loghog4392 what means SDM4 and HDG? The other things are ok i have translatet it for me. im a german guy so i a need the metric system 😬

@@biaschdlznep The SDM4 and HDG were very accurate chain grinders manufactured by the now defunct Silvey Chain Grinder Company. The SDM4 was a grinder for chisel chain bits (cutting teeth) and the HDG (replaced by the HDG6) was for grinding the rakers and the gullets that are created by the use of chisel chain grinders. I've had these grinders and used them for decades. Very precise and very well made. I mentioned this so that people would know that I'm running high quality maintained chain on my saws.

Yeah. right. My 066 pulls a 42 inch bar pretty well. Try that on yer little 462.

Im sure he means bar for bar. But then again no one runs an oversize bar on a smaller just as no one carries a 22# saw around with an .043 pole saw chain.

Don't think a 500 (or 462) can run a 32" bar.

@@09rja 500 can run up to 36 " bar. I am just buying 500 i with 32 " fitted .

@@istra70 Thanks for the info.

No, they were taking their time. 🙂

A fejlesztés meglátszik jelen esetben is !
