Congratulation to your new saw! Using a 32" bar I recommend the spring kit from Westcoastsaw. The stock springs are too weak. Give it more pressure in the cut, it likes it.
Thank you, want to cut a bit more with it to see if I can notice it. Might just be using the MS270 for so long, that anything feels better than that ha!
Good video. I have a 500i also, I put a 8 tooth sprocket on mine what a difference. Mine has been trouble free after 2yrs with stock filter. I do put a little grease under the filter on the rubber gasket.
@@TheEngineerNextDoor55 If your thinking about the bark box, i might have one laying around that I only bolted on to see the difference. The absoult way to go is the 500i pipe by Mark Trader. I have one on mine little $$$ costly buy WOW does it ever improve on what's already awesome. let me know if interested in the bark box and I see what I can do. I'm in the state of PA.
Might want to get yourself a semi skip chain and also a full house chain they'll probably cut a lot faster in that type of wood with the power the 500 I has
I put a longer bar on my 029 before the ms 290 came out and cut a lot fire wood and fell trees for years and didn't have to pay all that money for a saw that big

Thanks Bob! That is a good idea, I’ll have to try a 8 tooth sprocket! Hope your saw lasts a lifetime, cheers!
great saw add a bark box muffler for the 500i and max flow filer
Got the max flow air filter already, going on this week! Still thinking about the bark box!
@@TheEngineerNextDoor55 get it Mate it Really Sounds Like a Beast and gives a Bit Performance and power

For sure, my saw shop was out of semi skip and full house when I bought the saw so full skip it was! It's on the list.
It feels much better doing borecuts.
It's a night and day difference!
It’s too bad someone pays 1500 dollars and still have to spend more money to get it right.
No doubt, the filter design they had for years worked great, not sure why they had to go and change it!

Nice!
