I know in years past manufacturers often had slightly different models of engine powered products to meet CARB requirements that were stricter than the EPA. Is this the case with current production saws? If I get a new MS 201T will it be different if I pick it up in California than another state?

yes because chainsaw have been shown to cause cancer in the state of California
 
Yes, it will be different. It will cost you significantly more due to the high taxes we are forced to pay to live / work here.
 
Lol, thats funny. :)

Price and cost are easy to compare but I am curious if there are any other less obvious differences like with the muffler or carburetor.

Hey WYK........

You best leave that state now while your strong enough !

Do they have any more signs or is that all of them ?:hmm3grin2orange:

Eric,

I was going to say that CA saws are mostly blonde and look better in bikinis, but I thought you asked a good question and held back. Then these other guys chimed in.

Maybe you can contact the regional STIHL distributor and ask:

Pacific STIHL
9860 Ferguson Ave
Suite A
Visalia, CA 93291
Telephone: 559-651-1890

Make it sound like you want the CA saws to be more environmentally friendly, so that they don't feel the need to hide anything. They also distribute to Nevada and Arizona, so they would know.

Then get back to us with what you find!

I was astonished to find that most public buildings here seem to have warnings regarding cancer. It all seems to silly. I have some friends here since I went to HS and University in Cali. I tend to live outside of the state if I can help it. My permanent residence is Texas for tax purposes(and I consider it my home when stateside). Still, in the last 5 years I have only spent 1 in Texas, nearly 3 in Europe, the rest in Washington and Oregon.
 
Yep, the ones that were made in LA are still the World's best chainsaws.

I'd have to agree with you my friend..........except I'd put the saws made in Shreveport, LA and Port Chester, NY during the same time period in the same category as the saws made in Los Angeles, Ca.:cheers:
