Mastermind Meets The MS500i

[Bilge Rat]

If you fart near a running chainsaw does the RPM go up or down?

Those spikes would look cool powder coated black.

Looking forward to the cut report on this saw.

That depends on what you've been eating.

Me too !!!!

No, sounds like a good place to get viruses.

I'm pretty sure it has saved me from getting a few at some point in my past. lol

It's obvious that Stihl is staying ahead of the curve as far as applying new technology. So Randy now that you have examined it's insides, from what you are observing, what is the main design goal?

More power while still being cleaner and fuel efficient?

What can this injection system do that say the M-tronic system couldn't?

I love technology but needing to run to the dealer for hopefully not frequent resets makes me nervous.

Thanks again for doing the thread

Black works
So does chrome

Gotta see their hands to be sure

Next thing they are going to sell a power commander for these things like on fuel injected Bikes.

Blue tooth dongle attached to the port on the saw and a phone app for tuning.

We use em all the time to tune flight parameters on RC Heli’s.

Have you discovered pornhub?

Thanks to tree monkey everyone has.

Stihl has been spying on Randy.
We see you Stihl

The manual says......

After a repair to the chain saw, the control unit may not be adapted to the mechanical and mechatronic components initially. The chain saw may not have optimum power or faults may appear in the running behavior.
Calibration adapts the control unit optimally to the mechanical and mechatronic components of the chain saw.
Calibrating the chain saw is recommended whenever any of the listed components is replaced or is reinstalled :

–Crankcase
–Crankcase gasket
–Oil seals
–Crankshaft
–Piston
–Cylinder gasket
–Cylinder
–Injection module
–Injector housing
–Injection valve
–Sensor
–Generator
–Flywheel
–Clutch
–Control unit – only if the control unit is replaced.
–Injection pump
–Throttle shutter housing
–Air filter – only if the air filter is replaced.

So basically if you sneeze on it you need to take in and have it fixed.

Talking to some people and an mdg1 tool and software is around 1800$. Dealer only of course and supposedly the husky stuff is dealer only also but only 2-300$. I want both eventually if I can get my hands on them. I wonder if eventually the government will force them to release the code stuff for people to make aftermarket scanners like cars and obd/ obd2.

Any Electro-McDonaldical geniuses in the house?

Be nice if they documented the interface so 3rd party tools could read data and write requests to reset /.calibrate etc. Obd II on cars are standard and speak the CAN protocol which is pretty easy to use.

There was an effort to reverse engineer an mtronic unit that user breese seemed to lost intrrest in.

If something comes up I can help as far as communicating with mtronic or autotune I'd be happy to help out however I can!

Still on my bucket list to dust off the work on Dyno electonics!

I wonder if they just wanted to be able to lay claim to building the first fuel injected saw.

Could be. Guys were sure excited about porting the first one

Hell I just want to torcher test one.

So who first fully ported one....

So let's get this right, I know this is a new saw and we're learning what the deal is, but... so if I am a logger and pack some spares like a clutch cause I fly to an area to log where parts/service is not available I'm basically forked if I replace a part like a clutch because the saw needs to be plugged up to a 'dealers' puter for calibration? I can't remover the cylinder & have a functioning saw without going to a dealer? This is kinda what we dread about computer involved saw tech! If this I'd the case, this saw is almost useless to the pro consumer, its a 1500-dollar frustration ball. Next new Stihl I buy will be a standard carb 462! I hope Stihl does a standard carb version of the 500. I bet they will if these fears mentioned are true & become common knowledge. 2-toofed loggers generally don't like computers and certainly don't want their saws mixed up with them.
