I know for a fact they (462) were not available in here WNY or the in the states. A carb version sans mtronic was available in other parts of the world in this configuration from the time they were released . Anyhoo It’s really not that difficult to “convert” a mtronic 462c to a standard carb...

Point taken Burnham. However I did say I would be the first to apologize to @stig upon him providing a computer screenshot showing 2500 runtime hours with that particular 500i plugged into Stihl software. I have multiple STIHL dealers in my locale , One is less than 5 miles away, Stig may not...

Run motomix and have Stig send over some bottled air from Denmark - 2500hr run time no problem, If Stig farts in the tank 3000hrs + :D

Usually any manufacturing defects will manifest themselves rather quickly and be covered under warranty . The saws are designed from the manufacturer to run Wide-Open in a variety of environments, from subzero to 90degrees temperature and below sea-level to 7000ft or more and any impacts (either...

Yah , I know a guy that rebuilds lotsa 1127 series saws ... 400hrs before it needed a new top end , and yes he put an hour meter on it. Parts and assemblies are designed with a certain lifespan in mind , besides , most loggers go by board ft produced not by hours 😄. There are only so many rpm in...

You kind sir are incorrect about that as I’ve had one in my hands and actually used /built one. Yeppers a 462c standard carb (no mtronic) , even had the holes in the cover for the carb adjustment. Mark my words!

Yah I run motomix also - good stuff, expensive up front but well worth it in my opinion for longevity and keeping carbon out of the engine - still isn’t going to enable a modern , high performance professional (such as the 500i) chainsaw to clock 2500hrs at 10000rpm In the cut on the same...

What have you replaced on the saw during that 2500hrs of operation outside of oil / fuel filters , air filters , regular basic maintenance etc? It seems a bit far-fetched to say you’ve gotten 2500hrs out of a set of piston rings / bearings /seals etc ... in a saw running at 10000rpm in the...

2500hrs on a 500i? Pic of diagnostic screen from dealer showing total hours would support that statement ...

I assure you sir , the 462 and the 661 are both available with standard adj carbs. Just not in NJ 😀

462c is supposedly available with a standard carb also
