Light chainsaw recommendation?

I will be interesting to see the Husky fuel injected saw, I cant get hold of the parts list to compare it the the 500i. The 500i is built completely different to standard non injected saws and it is more of a PITA to strip down. Ive rebuilt a couple of them and you need to strip them to bits just to replace the piston and cylinder.

Interesting. What's so different? The injector bolts on and off like a carb. Is there a separate air inlet? Any sensors on the exhaust side?

Its built a lot differently. Where the carb would be is just a butterfly valve, the injector is below that directly into the crankcase. You cant just bin a carb and bolt on an injector. No sensors on the exhaust, there is one behind the flywheel. It doesn't monitor exhaust gases like a car would from what I can see.

 

There are a few YouTube vids on stripping a 500 down, I did mean to make one but we never have the time and my workshop isn't in the best shape to make decent video watching content to say the least!

 

I cant see there being many other fuel injected chainsaws as all the money is going into battery machines. Although maybe a big 120cc equivalent Husky, I only say that as they dont have one and its been what 4/5 years since the 3120 was axed. Im sure that they could have brought an autotune out in that time.
