Why do they not put fuel injection on every saw now? I could use a top handle that pulls like a 60cc saw, lol.

Yep. If Stihl would put out a fuel injected top handle that was remotely as good as the 500i they would dominate the gasser top handle market for the foreseeable future. Not sure what is holding them back because IMHO they are running behind Husky in both the electric and the gasser top handles..

Interesting point.
It could be that the catastrophe of the release of the first 201 is rendering them wary of rushing new models out.
Another thing to consider is (according to a UK dealer on Arbtalk) the top selling top handle is the Echo 2511, beating all comers.
Is the 35cc top-handle on its way out?

I’m on the husky battery saw for dismantling and the Echo for everything less.

Huh. The poor initial roll-out of the 201 was what, over a decade ago? I sure hope they aren't still gun-shy as a result of that.

I do love my 2511 for some jobs, but only after swapping to the 1/4 bar/chain, and in my area at least, that saw and the 201 are for totally different jobs.

Still, I use my Husky T542i most of the time.
