The good news is that manufacturers can't hide anymore, we as consumers have more power than ever to force manufacturers hand. The power sites like this and other media outlets have, is not something manufactures can ignore any longer, without taking huge losses in some form. Every problem and grip "right or wrong" is seen buy everyone the world over.^ ^ agree!
In this disposable, and increasingly electronic society we live in, if you walk into a mechanic shop with no idea what is wrong with your vehicle, (who the hell knows when a sensor or computer goes sideways in a modern vehicle), you are a sitting duck for financial abuse. Everyone needs an OBD reader if for nothing else than to have some direction to start troubleshooting and/or to just to keep em honest.
"The average car today can have between 25 and 50 central processing units (CPUs) controlling these functions and more, often networked but sometimes operating independently."

It would be 'interesting' if a company made a AT system one could retro fit to their saw that could be plugged up to a PC....now that would stir the pot.
All of that will come with fuel injection if or when that comes. No offense, but all of the other mess y'all are talking about adding to them would only worsen the situation we're in now. The only thing I would like to see happen is the ability to plug it in yourself.an exhaust temp probe is probably not required as they could be run simply on a fuel/airmap, but they should have at the minimum a TPS, a air temp sensor a tach signal and a MAP sensor. with those four you could run it D jetro. an exhaust temp gauge on a piston engine is more for timing then A/F and most wide bands can't handle all of the oil form a 2 stroke at least not and have a decent life span.

The sad part is that we don’t need any of it. I have two old saws that are easier to tune, easier to keep in tune, and more forgiving with the tune than any of my new stuff. And they make a nicer kind of power overall. Plus they are better balanced and just generally nicer to be around.
This poll is swayed by dealers, guaranteed.
I don’t know a single pro saw-hand that prefers auto tune, or any of the newest saws. They buy them because they want Husky’s or Stihls and the choices become limited then. Some of those guys have taken to buying up parts saws to keep their old stuff running. I should do a real poll amongst people who rely on their saws for a living..maybe next winter.
Ridiculous, being forced into this crap on all machinery.
