Been playing with a MS400C

[sean donato]

German made SMOOTH with REAL Time Torque

Lightweight = weighs the same as a MS460 - it's actually a little lighter but with 82cc and a carb without the C

The c stands for comfort and not mtronic.

Just buy a 500i and let's end this thread.

Did you ever experience a SOLO 681 ?

So go buy one. Parts availability? And fuel injection ain't better than a Carb?Ill keep my 500I.

Weight,Vibes? and you would buy a 400 and a 462 but not a 500 it dont add up. Why aint all of us running Solos then?

Post 540

that same devil had the SOLO 681 canceled/discontinued because it made a mockery of Stihl and was in direct conflict with the Dolmar 7900 since it was built off of it's design

I have a Dolmar 7900 its heavier than the 500. Who would win a race with a 24in bar?

That's called 'Bait and Switch' advertising...........there is no comfort in loss of freedom = FREE CARB

what i do know is the power of a SOLO 681 and i was not impressed watching the 500i cutting

No, it's not. The regular carb saws can have the c designation as well. Has nothing to do with mtronics. Heck my old ms192tc is carbed. T for top handle c for comfort frestures. Absolutely nothing to do with mtronic. The 400's proper nomenclature is a ms400c-m just the same as any other stihl saw. No c, no comfort features. For whatever reason they don't have the m on the starter cover.

the carb is adulterated with on the 400c

Now - direct FI on the 500i is a different beast all together which sounds GREAT

Yeah, cause we haven't seen any issues with that system either. they have plenty of issues with that fuel system too. Just three times more expensive to fix. And it's not direct injection, its port injection.

Right - which is why after considering a 500i it was quickly rejected with knowing = 'costly problems ahead'

problems with straight carbs are a easy inexpensive fix and they are very reliable when using the correct/fresh fuel

Do you have both of these saws to make this judgement or just going of uncontrolled videos? Cause I have a Dolmar 7900

Why do the specs on the Solo say it weighs more than the 500I and has less HP?

Until Stihl makes a UMS-262 57cc true pro saw = there is No End in SIGHT.
