First Mod to the 500i

[user 122190]

Probably the only mod I'll make. Big bang for the buck too.

Faster, lighter, more power through out the power band. Yeah Baby!!!

And I even got it on straight and center for even more power.

No kidding the SUPER is like Nitrous Oxide Turbo, but easier to spell.

If there were flames it would be completely awesome.

Stihl made Super Magnum 038's, back in the day.

You could abbreviate it to NOT Magnum

Don’t get me wrong the saw kicks ass, probably the best saw I have ever had tbf

I had an 038 Super until recently and knew of the Magnum models. Never knew the Magnum was a Super Magnum, or was there a Magnum and a Super Magnum? Is it because of Tom Selleck or the gun Tbh we don’t see many Magnum saws in the UK

 

[KarlD]

Just wasted 5 minutes of my life! First person to post a ‘real’ (not obviously photoshopped) pic of Tom Selleck holding a chainsaw gets this as a prize…

I almost sold my 461 to my neighbor, when he saw the Magnum sticker. I told him it was just a sticker I put on, and he looked a bit disappointed. He then wasn't to excited about buying the saw.

Seriously, tis a joke but for many the MAGNUM has a special power, not understood but is self evident. This 500i probably is worth an additional $500.

 

[KarlD]

we’re such immature children really aren’t we?! When I had the 038 Super all I wanted was the Magnum. I like the 660’s that Robin sells, mostly because they come with a Magnum sticker

You probably could put it on eBay as a Magnum 500i and get extra for it. With some careful wording so as not to lie I honestly think someone would come along that is dazzled by the SUPER MAGNUM ness of it. I hope you love the saw when you put it to work

And the sticker only cost $3. I'd sell it, if I knew I could buy a new one by April, which is when I need this saw.

 

[KarlD]

That looks a beaut…I can’t see the plaque clearly but I assume it is a Super Magnum

Yeah, the interwebz won't show me a better picture but the upper line on the plaque says Super.

He doesn’t know. He hasn’t run his yet. The sticker should help keep fines out. One of these days old Montana is going to fuel it up and let it rip. I do not have that kind of patience. I keep dreaming up opportunities to run mine. No sticker for me. I might put a small outerwears sticker on the air box. Their pre filter seems to keep the pleats in the stock filter from plugging up.

Isn't a super Magnum the 5gal size...of wine bottle?
