No sir. It would need to be a new saw before I'd be interested.

 

[av8or3]

Well then...

I buy and sell new saws. Once in awhile I take a used saw in on trade......but not very often.

Such devastation.

Were you able to hook up to the MDG service module to measure the duty cycle of the injector after the modifications?

I hooked one up after porting to reset it. I can't remember now where it landed in the settings, but it wasn't nearly maxed out. Got a message from a guy in Europe asking me not to plug anymore in. So...I haven't.

 

[av8or3]

What was his reason for asking you not to plug them up after porting?

The saw probably ran more like a Husqvarna after the port work

How would a 500i perform for milling duty? Looks very powerful and fuel efficient. I hate to say it, but I feel like I should have shopped around a little more for my mill saw instead of jumping at a new 395xp with $400 taken off the price tag.

395 is probably the best milling saw under 100cc’s other than maybe an older flattop 066 with a modified oiler and maxflo filter. Good filter, adjustable carb, good oiler, good power, outboard clutch, good durability and the same 6203 bearing and separate seal on both sides. Milling is probably the hardest task to ask of a chainsaw and the 395 is setup pretty good as is in stock form for it compared to most new saws. I would recommend a muffler mod in the least though to help it run cooler. Heat is the enemy. They aren’t a obnoxious saw if the outlets are kept reasonable and hearing protection is worn.

Stihl came down pretty hard on the dealer that sold it. Even though it was sold to me by someone who resold it, they came to the dealer wanting to know why this saw from Europe was in Tennessee.

Stick with the 395. Not saying a 500i wouldn't be a good milling saw, but the 395 is a tough machine with plenty of mass to dissipate heat.
