Found it for the (G) model too, less watermarking https://www.xn--motorsgsbutiken-mlb.se/dokument/bibliotek/Image/Motorsag/564XPG-Fuel-Inject/IPL-Husqvarna-564XPG-Fuel-Inject-970711601-2025_wm.pdf

You’re not gonna mill for long with a ported 661 before it blows and it costs the same as a stock 881 after you pay for a good porting job. If you want to mill the stock 881 will always cut faster in wood in the 36”- 84” bar range, and do it reliably as it can handle the heat soak and load...

I just use a velcro cable tie. Works great, easy to pull back/off the throttle if needed, zero issues so far. Simple is always best imo.

Yep I agree 100%!

You can't expect these saw companies to do the heavy lifting in term of R&D for battery development, they just use the current tech that the EV manufacturing uses. There's a wall that was hit for a few years now in terms of energy storage, so its impossible to recreate a 50cc or higher in terms...

Sadly that will probably mean its gonna be sloppy as all hell with anything in the 25-28" range bar, and it will need aftermarket help like the 500i needs with anything over 28. I'd just rather wear gloves and have a stiffer saw tbh.

Yea its probably the lighter crank and shorter stroke that they mentioned in the specs they listed. In the usage video it looks like the saw likes to scream and makes good hp with its RPMs, but is the lack of torque noticeable or the injection helps negate that? I can't wait to see a comparison...

You don't really need an MDG1 because 6 years later and tens of thousands of saws sold we know the computer and injection system is the most robust part of that saw and something that just doesn't fail (besides some weird issues with some of the initial production run of 500i's, which was fixed...

Its the same number because the numbering has a very specific meaning in regards to sizing of the sparkplug, heat characteristic and its electrical properties. The changes done for Stihl are minimal and unrelated to their standard. I always used regular NKG plugs. My 881 came with a regular...

I agree with you about the oiler, but Stihl offers a high output 1.6mm stroke oiler for it #1124 640 3206 (I have no idea why it doesn't come with it from the factory). As for the no low end torque, it feels to me the same as the 3120/088/084, so I don't know how you can say that. I'd even say...

The TS 500i? No, completely different machine. Even the injector design and location is different, together with everything else. Its not like the Husky 3120k and the 3120 chainsaw sadly.

That thing is great for racing engines, but not day to day use. No corrosion inhibitors (calcium sulfonate), you’ll end up with corroded crankshafts and bearings if using it in high humidity or not often enough. Yes it happened to me first hand. Saber is better for tools if you really care about...

Interesting, didn't hear about it in forestry crews here, and they started using them in 2019. When were your problematic ones acquired? Mine has fabrication date of 10.2019, it always seems to run rich enough, richer than the auto-tune/m-tronics at least by the sound of it, as did all the...

If the solenoid is not the issue, why bother with a non-at carb? Nothing wrong with autotune/m-tronic, especially now after they figured out the proper materials for the solenoids and they actually last (yea, plastic moving parts were *s-word, go figure lol). Its fine tuned and reliable, same with...

This is 100% a fueling issue (not enough fuel), either from an air leak of some kind or carb issue (malfunctioning solenoid, leak, clog). When vacuum and pressure testing the saw make sure you spin the crankshaft so you don’t get a false positive. Pressure and vacuum test the fuel lines too, and...
