Mastermind Meets The MS500i

[Shane10]

@Sawrain and @00wyk you guys get it. The injection on the ms500 appears to be more like a glorified mtronic than a real injection system. This thing is like lincoln logs compared to automotive injection. Let’s also consider what @00wyk said. His bike is reliable. Well if we think about cars from the 80’s the were trash compared to cars from the 90’s as far as reliably. Remember the 20k tuneups in the 80’s? Those were partly due to copper plugs but still the plugs would foul also. This injection thing could be really cool. You gotta dig the proformance and efficiency gains from direct injection especially with forced induction. Someone’s going to make that dirty.

Randy,

May have missed it, but when do you anticipate running some fuel through these saws? Vid would be great to watch if possible.

Not sure how i feel about fuel injected saws and such, much prefer being able to tune a carb with a screwdriver, or change a coil if needed without hooking up to a computer to scan/re-calibrate. Just my .02

Waiting on the MDG to hook em up.

What is MDG?

What is MDG?

Maximum Dose of Goodness!
Or the software for M-tronic, but I like the first.

 

[RI Chevy]

Yes sir. Just curious what the letters actually stand for.

Hey Randy,

Make sure the latest updates are installed.

On second screen that pops up, top right hand corner, there is a "world" sign that needs to be selected to download latest updates.

Take care, Larry. HOS

Open you're wallet in a different language. More money more money.

Im interested to see how the 500 ported compares to a ported 7910

Pretty close to each other.
Once someone figures out how to make custom fuel curves in the 500 it's going to spell the end for carbureted racing IMO.

 

[rocco490]

the 50o sounds like it should be a very strong saw lots of torque for its weight

I'm going to say that the 7910 is going to have a smidge more low rpm torque. But that is just my guess.

Makes sense, it has a longer stroke and a larger flywheel. The 500i I ran I thought had pretty nice torque though for a stock saw.

Figuring this puter stuff out dot dot dot

It's dark.....calibration tomorrow.

But.....

What I'd like to see is a fuel injection system that you could tweak with a screwdriver.

I'm starting to feel worm and fuzzy inside now can't wait.

Trust me I'm definitely with you on that but let's see what it's made of .

Almost full piss rev at 1:49? This is neat!
