apparently. You should have met some of the salty people I have worked with. Nah I suppose the patience's becomes less in many ways with age. When falling timber then it's just you and your saw then that's the best and you want your saw to be just so. That's your meditation. Sometimes I had to go through "47 miles of barbed wire and wear a cobra snake for a necktie" just to get there.
'it' gets old. 'it' gets tired. In my early 20's a would get a new saw to pick up my spirits when I was tree spacing for months on end and Mother nature never stoped a days work.

I hope so because I have never apologised so much as a celibate, single man in my life. I'm sorry.

You are right.

Extra points for the Bo Didley reference.

Brad, do you think the 500i could use even more intake?

mettee · May 31, 2019

No I'm not going to be that guy. Now let's try to redeem this thead please it's a good one and he's done a great job on the saw.

Maybe I should have said can you "fill" us in, it's usually funnier when you don't have to say it again lol.
It's a great running saw no doubt.

Yup.

One interesting thing about injected saws like the 500i is they can go back to more conventional cylinder/porting design without having to incorporate strato intakes & ports. Not that strato's are bad or anything just interesting the EPA has so much influence on how things are done. Some good ideas have come from this, some not so.

I'd like to see it with the 8 pin, love those on a ported 70cc.

Very impressive that the saw hasn't even hit the USA stores yet and a few builders already have ported some. I'm sticking with a carb saw as long as possible but the 500 does look good.

Maybe. I'm very pleased with it as is, but wonder what it could do with more exhaust and/or transfer.

I had it out Saturday doing tornado cleanup with a 36" bar in some super hard maple. I need to get the video edited. I've been too tired!
