My reply:
Hello,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Just so you know I communicate online with climbing arborists from all over the world. My personal experience of having one of the earliest model 200t's seeming gutless is not a isolated incident or because the saw isn't set up properly. If...
I'll give it a whirl. Even at that price. The saw is borderline useless to me as it is. I won't run it. The 540 sits on the bench still with a broken kill switch and 200's rule the truck. I'll go dig up my reply to him.
I got this reply this morning:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email and the support of our products. I have reviewed your note below and while I understand your frustration and point of view, there are a couple points I would like to add to the discussion. Generally when a MS201T is broken in...
Still no availability on this kit through my dealer in BC Canada.
Stihl? Listen up, fix your damn mistake or atleast make it available to me to pay to fix it for you!
I would gladly do this. But even showing my dealer the pics in this thread and providing the part number. I can't even buy the kit! That's what pisses me off. Hell I've gotten on with it. I'm not even running it. I run 200s. I can't even give Stihl more money for this kit to fix their mistake...
Thanks for that offer. I'll be at my saw shop this weekend, taking my 540 in again. So I'm going to push the issue there first on this upgrade kit. To me part of my frustration is that I have to educate my dealer about this. Like pulling teeth there sometimes to get what I need.
So do echos what? I've had one echo tophandle. POS.
Right now I'm running 200's again. Probably gonna have a few rebuilt.
I agree that having to buy this upgrade kit is BS. On the same note if I could buy it I would, as the money is inconsequential in comparison to having a good, powerful...
Say what you will I run and own them all and so far I'd take a 201 over a 540. That's my real world experience.
I can't get this upgrade kit at my local Stihl dealer. I'd like to know if any other Canadians are able to get this kit?
