I have a 500i run both 25 and 36 inch bars on mine, as you stated if chains armt sharp and correct raker depth they do bog which i agree with. I found on the 36 inch bar I sharpen it more often to stop it bogging down. I also personally run 32.1 fuel mix ratio. Farm use across all my saws and I never had a problem and I cut many tonne of firewood and trees every year. In saying this I do wish I bought a 661 over the 500i. This is my personal opinion though

i have a 28 inch bar on mine and it has the west coast saw exhaust and air filter and my dealer actually recommended that bar to me and it works really well for bucking and felling and I run a 45:1 ratio

I’ve run my 500i for around 5 years now and she’s showing her age, great for small stuff and liming and soft wood but when it comes to the big wood and getting it done my 881 with a 30inch bar runs circles around a 500i

Jordan Rentsch :
Running lean does not mean less oil. That refers to the the petrol. Running more oil will actually run the saw lean. If your planning to run more oil on a carby machine you should run it a bit richer on the either the fuel screw or the jetting

very informative, i tossed up between a 500i and a 661 for months and just recently bought the 500i, just for firewood for personal use with a 20" bar, will keep all this in mind. Cheers
