Stihl MS 500i

2-Stroke

The Stihl MS 500i is a 79.2cc <!-- verify: stihlusa.com --> 2-stroke professional chainsaw and the first production chainsaw from any manufacturer with direct electronic fuel injection — there is no carburetor to rebuild. The maintenance profile shifts accordingly: fuel filter cleanliness is critical (injectors are contamination-sensitive), but carburetor diaphragm and needle/seat replacement are eliminated entirely. The MS 500i accepts 20" to 32" guide bars and delivers consistent power delivery in any orientation and across altitude changes. Aimed at professional loggers who want peak performance without altitude-related richening.
