I was looking at my part look up today, and saw that they increased the bore size to 56mm.  I think it is going to be a good saw and who knows maybe my first micro processor saw. Don't worry they will all be auto tune or m tronic before long then fuel injected would be my guess.
Yes fuel injection when they introduce it will change everything.
Iam sure they have made one!

Yeah there are probably many out being tested for the last few years if not decades. Stihl already has a large cut quick saw TS500i in their line up for a few years now with fuel injection.
Making a living with a saw since age 16.

Quote from: Saw Dr.
I just came back today from a couple days in VA beach at the factory.  I was able to talk to a guy who works with field testing new designs.  The 661 will be M-Tronic for the US market, and apparently the M-Tronic on it will have more control authority than previous versions.  There is also a vertical spring on the front of the A/V system to support when long bars are used.  They would not let me play with one   :-[

Big changes also in the works for the 201, and it sounds like the new stuff for it will be "backwards compatible"

I was wondering about the mounted leather glove.

Here in NZ we have the stupid law of having to have a mitt because people are to silly and don't put there thumb around the front handle.

We should share what we know... someone may learn...
That knowledge can live after us... and that "Pays It Forward".
