You'd be the one to harp til there was a pallet of the finest.
I don't know why guys just don't have the 200's rebuilt. Maybe the reliability?
I bought one a year from 04 to 06. Its just me using them, I swap them in and out, usually have two on me, right now the one from 04 sounds like it needs a carb for 150, I say do it for that even after it landed on concrete many years ago. Cost me around 400 in used plastic, old style gas tank on her now.
There seems to be guys around here who would rebuild the engine for you for 300 bucks. In fact, one guy has an exchange program but I stick to my own original purchased new gear.
One reason I hated working for large companies was that I would keep breaking down into tears, full tantrum, begging for a decent enough chainsaw... FOR ****'S SAKE! PLEASE! So I gots my very own, don't go nowhere with out them.
I bought all my saws, Stihl, right around then. You know me, I go places, do some work. Never had any of them worked on except wearable items and one needed a carb.
I bought them knowing there were fanatics out there to rebuild them nicely, I'd pay just about anything for that.
