STIHL* MS500I CHAINSAW 20" BAR 79CC FUEL INJECTION

The STIHL MS 500i leverages electronic fuel injection to provide users with increased engine power, which translates to an incredible power-to-weight ratio, easier starting and consistent performance.

STIHL 2-MIX engine

The two-stroke engine with STIHL 2-MIX technology saves up to 20 % of fuel and reduces emissions by up to 70 % compared to STIHL 2-stroke engines of the same performance class without 2-MIX technology.

HD2 filter with radial seal

The new HD2 air filter, made from PET material and featuring a radial seal, prevents the intake of fine dust particles. The hermetic seal increases the service life of the engine and reduces wear.

Decompression valve

The decompression valve is part of the easy starting system. The valve should be pressed before starting to reduce the compression pressure when starting, as well as reducing the effort needed to pull the starter rope. The decompression valve is semi-automatic; it must be pressed manually before starting, but then closes automatically.

STIHL ElastoStart

Due to compression pressure, jerky stresses occur when starting internal combustion engines. The damping element in the ElastoStart special starter grip alternately absorbs and releases force according to the compression pattern. The result is smooth, even starting.

Side-mounted chain tensioning

Side-mounted chain tensioning makes it easy to tension the chain safely. 

Tool free fuel caps

Special caps to open and close the tank cap quickly, easily and without tools.
