Found out my local Ace Hardware is factory authorized repair shop for Echo and Stihl. They are getting in a MS192T tomorrow. Will compare it with the Echo CS-271T side by side.

Not to get off subject, but here is a pic of me and my late dad in Nov 2012. That Huskqvarna in the picture was OLD when I was a kid in the 70s. I used it that day to cut up a fallen pine. Old as the hills, that thing still starts up on the 2 or 3rd pull. They don't make them like that anymore.
