I asked that question and was told by one of my Dutch colleagues that they were but it was not going to be fuel injected, I was also told the MS 500i ran very hot so the injection system was set up rich to cool the engine, this is why they are not very good on fuel consumption, which makes you wonder what the true emissions are.

Sounds a poor way to control engine cooling, more fins on engine castings or fan volume instead of paying in fuel! K

All adds additional weight I am afraid, when Husqvarna use aluminium screws on the new 592xp to reduce weight it gives you some idea of how weight is so important.

Thoughy 500i had the best power to weight?

 

 

 

Remember this nothing came of it (the carbon idea)?

It can have the best power to weight ratio and still be the most thirsty .

Maybe it should of. I haven’t bought a 500i but the ones I’ve seen are pretty battered already. I think the plastics a cheaper / thinner than on older stihl saws. Perhaps In pursuit of less weight etc etc.
