Ms192 Rear Handle??

[Finnbear]

Anyone got any info on the MS192 rear handle saw that my dealer tells me is coming out this week but has no info on? Stihlusa.com doesn't show it either. I just bought a new 009L and the dealer tells me the MS192 is about 2.5lbs lighter so the 009L may just have to go down the road.

I'm showing the Easystart version (grrrr...) at 7.4lbs. It's in the Stihl NW product catalog and supposed to be available in the next few weeks. Hopefuly there is also a version without the "easy start".

What exactly is "EasyStart". Most of my saws are older or larger than any that come with this option.

It has a primer bulb (good) but a dorky wind-up starter... Works great but if the user misses the "cough" and winds it up again, it floods, then it's a PITA to start.. Certainly not needed to pull over a 192!
