I bought a stihl 500i this spring. It has one, but it isn't a primer. It pressurizes the fuel injection system
How do you like that saw?
Haven't had a chance to even fondle one, but have watched a bunch of
videos. Seems they are pretty awesome, except one guy didn't like it
for cutting smaller wood.
It didn't respond quite right to the on/off cycles of the throttle.
But it's not meant to be a firewood saw.
Don't know about the injection on that, but ethanol doesn't seem
to affect injected cars. I had a mid 90s Subaru sitting in the yard as
a parts car for almost three years. Had robbed the battery early, so
it was never started. Sold it last fall.
A guy showed up with a battery, almost dead. Gave it a jump,
And the car fired up with about 3 normal tries. Ran fine.
I couldn't believe it. A junkyard friend assures me that's pretty normnal.
