Has STIHL MS500i reached the US market? Do you think it is worth the wait?

Takes for you time,

Might start in less than 10 pulls?

I couldn't wait and bought a 462 last fall. I can't see how the 500 could be better. If it is it would be worth the wait

at $1760 USD it better be REAL GOOD!. it does have electronic fuel injection, though!. I wonder what a replacement computer will cost when it fails?..

Yeah, the neighbor has a very nice 056 that needs the electronic ign unit and you can't buy them.

He's not looking hard enough. Used ones are on ebay and new non-oem parts are on other sites including Amazon
