    Stihl 201 upgrade kit

    The 266 and 570 was in my opinion as good as they got. 272 was very good too, but it was less bullet proof as it was closer to the limits of what it could be taken out of case. This meant it needed a person with ear and feel for saw and how it should run. Then it lasted a long time and was a...

    Stihl 201 upgrade kit

    It puts a big dent in the credibility. Here they introduced the 357 in '00 and they had lots of issues. Sales dropped to almost nothing after 6 months sale and 254 sold out. They stood in for a hard decision. Continue 254 and hold sales for 357 until it was ready, perhaps loose a couple...

    Stihl 201 upgrade kit

    I am know they updated lots of them here on warranty. We have consumer laws here that they must abide or quit selling. But I guess that is up to each Market and distributors location.

    Lets see if I got this right. You buy a saw and it is not performing correct. Then you not only think about buying parts to get it right you actually do it to? That would never fly here, it would be on desk faster than you can say idle. My choice then is to get it to perform correct or refund...

    Stihl 201 upgrade kit

    it is a company/market thing. Stihl US is not Stihl Germany. It is two different ballgames. Aftermarket parts are usually copied from original part and most popular models. I have lots of Husqvarna and Partner stuff that never was sold here or anywere for that matter. Models that never came...

    Many think it is OK to buy a product, fix it so you can use it and then say it is OK? You should get what you pay for regardless of price. To accept anything less is not right.

    No. They should not hand out parts. They sold it, they fix it! Usually a model upgrade go out first and those turning in saws for service. Dealers are to contact/call in all saws needing update and dealer do it free of charge (warranty).

    Husqvarna as it is today is from 1978, not that old. Cunsumer grade stuff pay's the bills. Pro grade is for marketing more than profit. Without pro market they are done as brand. Partner, McCulloch, Homelite are a couple examples of this.

    Stihl 201 upgrade kit

    I you mean this with no mid range power band, it is not EPA thing. This is true. Especially as it doesn't apply all products and not those most sold. It is not a technical thing, more marketing and populist thing. A brand can not sell conventional engine at the dealer, but can at wallmart...

    I don't get it. Fuel comes from several outlets, depending on throttle position. Is that what you mean?

    What is it you mean with linear? There are two inlets, one with fuel air, one with air. Replace the carb in the intake that it sits you get same problem.

    Stihl 201 upgrade kit

    Al. This fresh air engine type as we see today is nothing new forced up by EPA or others, I read patents from early 20's that has same principles and it did not work then, I doubt they can change physic's no either. It is about combustion. A more complete leave less crap for muffler to handle...

    Stihl 201 upgrade kit

    200 and 201 has different engines. 201 has fresh air engine just as 540 and others. Newer ignitions and auto tune systems perform well.. If they just was in a good engine it...

    Stihl 201 upgrade kit

    It is not the fuel/ignition system that fears me.... If it adds 2000 rpm to what manual say it do it is 16000rpm saw!

    Stihl 201 upgrade kit

    Look in spec's for the saw. I bet it tells the top rpm is not changing a lot. Under load perhaps..

    Stihl 201 upgrade kit

    There is retardation in all coils today and a curve to follow. Changing flywheel and coil together is often needed to get the increase in timing curve if that is wanted. Non limited coil is of no advantage unless it hits limiter under load witch is unlikly. To get timing curves to work properly...

    Stihl 201 upgrade kit

    If you buy at a dealer they usually get ordered to upgrade before sales if it is a significant upgrade. If you buy on Internet is is same risks as usual and up to you to make sure you get the right stuff.

    Stihl 201 upgrade kit

    It is sales that is important. They don't care about anything if product sells. When sales drop/stop eyes and ears open.. Universal as it is same with most brands. Releasing saws to be tested on market saves a year or two on development and lets you get sales faster, but sure is a pain in the...

    Stihl 201 upgrade kit

    I thought most here thought it was a great saw? Here all seem to be waiting for something that really works, regardless of brand. It might get better, time will tell... This is a fix to try rescue sales. I think cause of problem is in Engine design.
