In the next 5 to 7 years all Stihl Pro. Chainsaws will be FI no Carburetors.

A manual choke type brand of carburetor has that manual choke you say your 68 Chevy pickup has?

 

dont know what brand it is, newer motor but kept the manual choke as it was standard in 68 pickups i guess.

 

I believe you are only on here to try and stir up the mud.

Frankly I do not give a crap if it is carburetor or is fuel injected as along as it is reliable and cost effective.

 

My 87 chevy C10 I dayly drove for many years, I took the 305 out and dropped in a 350 with a Edelbrock intake and carb, I put a manual choke on that, after a few test and tune runs. In all the years I drove it after that I never used the choke. Few pumps of the gas and hit the key.

Not saying fuel injection is bad, but me like many others, I hate electronic cr$#, I would much rather have simple mechanical that's easy to work on and simple to tune, over computer controlled cr*p.

 

I don't know where you get the idea i am stiring up mud, just because i think carburetors will be a thing of the past in chainsaws soon, i sure don't care what people use to get fuel into their saws.

Also have you noticed that no carburetors have been used on Autos and trucks for the past 25+years, fuel injection is the standard today.

If you don't like my comments don't read them

 

I agree with you on both parts.

 

Fact Electronic control is the future for new chainsaws just like it has become the fact of life for all Autos and Trucks made today.
As it did with the autos and Trucks it will put a lot of shade tree chainsaw repair people, looking for a new job if they don't get the needed understanding to repair these new saws.

 

That's fine. I don't buy new.
I can still go buy a 1950s truck if I so wanted.

I prefer as little electronics in my trucks, saws, tractors and wheelers.

You obviously prefer electronic.

To each there own, it's not my money you will be spending on it and it's not something I will buy.

But if you want to, go for it!,
but don't turn around and say something someone else has is junk because it has a carb and is not "The new industry standard"

 

Excuse me Mr. Redneckchevy where did i post that Quote:something someone else has is junk because it has a carb. End of your Quote:?
And trust me i surly understand it's not your money i will be spending.

 

There has been a lot of mis understanding in regards to just how the carburetor on the Stihl C-M Model chainsaws is adusted , mine is a Stihl CM261C-M.
I contacted Stihl Tech. Support to get the facts in regards to just how this fuel system works.
This was Stihl's Tech. Support Reply:

The MS261C M has the M-Tronic feature, which is an electronic fuel management system. The engine has several sensors which measure temperature, barometric pressure, air flow through the air filter, and fuel flow. These sensors send information to a control unit (Normally called an ignition module or “coil”, which then sends adjustment commands to the solenoid attached to the carburetor, which then makes adjustments to the carburetor at the rate of 30 TPS.

Thank you again for your email.

The last time I looked I have never seen an actual injector on chainsaw. The M-tronic like you said yourself is still an electronically controlled carburetor.

As far as cars go the invention of port injection and catalytic convertors is a great invention and did a lot for cleaning up the air in the big cities.

For all of us shade tree mechanics go I have been working on my own fuel injected cars for years no big deal and chainsaws will be no different. You do not give people enough credit.

Talk about stirring up the mud just look at the previous post. The water looks pretty muddy to me.

Chainsaws with a piston ported 2 stroke engine is a far cry from a car and is like comparing apples to oranges.

When they can come up with actual injectors on a chainsaw that is reliable and cost effective then I will embrace the change but it still has a long ways to go as far as I am concerned.

Do not count Husqvarna out as far as electronic controlled carburetors go they are right there with Stihl if not ahead of them.

 

Gonna try and be nice here and it did appear to me any way the OP was trying to provoke an argument.
Chainsaws are not cars as Mag Craft pointed out.

 

Well, better at taking care of things like carbs. I'm certain we can agree on that. I like it when I can find common ground.

 

The information i posted about the Stihl electronic controlled carburetors was just for some other forum members who had mis information about this Stihl fuel control system, it has nothing to do with the subject of fuel injected chainsaws.
As for chainsaws using fuel injection i am told the new Stihl 500i is fuel injected, and it's the first chainsaw using fuel injection, if this information is wrong am sure someone will corect me it's just what i was told at my Stihl dealers store.
As for Husqvarna i went to the local dealer to see a 553 the salesman told me it was fuel injected, and he was very wrong, i wanted to see their service Dept. talk to the person who works on their Husqvarna chainsaws was told he was busy working on Mowers, i saw on floor around 15 Husqvarna chainsaws waiting for what ever.

That was enough for me i said thank you and quickly left.

As everyone knows you can find Husqvarna chainsaws at Home Depot Stihl chainsaws are only sold where the store has a fulltime service Dept. with Stihl people who know what their doing, at Home Depot and maybe at the Husqvarna dealer i visited i am thinking last week their Husqvarna service people were flipping burgers at a Mc Donalds.

As for working on their own autos and Trucks been doing it since 1954 and am still doing some of it today.

 

May just be me, but I think this is turning into a topic for a place other then The wood pile.

 

If you get a chance I would like to see a picture of your 68 Chevy. My 1st truck was a 70.

 

I think you need a couple more...just sayin!

 

The problem is the heading of this post sounds like an absolute statement concerning injected chainsaws and not electronically controlled carburetors. There is a difference.

 

Ive noticed that with a lot of the threads posted here lately.

 

I am with you guys. What does this have to do with stacks of wood for heating your home or shop.
