The best mod for a cs-400 is to keep the chain sharp. IMO that's one of Echo's best late model home owner saws.
A clean, used cs-400 STOCK on Craigslist worth 100-150. Modded cs-400, less than 100.

From all the reading in this post, this repair only applies to the BOSCH version of ignition.
Now, I hope someone can figure out the SEM problem as I have 4 dead SEM coils to one 2101 saw :-(
