If you don't like it then don't buy it its that simple. With the world heading in the direction its heading the LAST thing im concerned about it the technology in a chainsaw.

Not true. It's all in the coil and carb, an extremely simple design.
Damn hard for me to see something as “progress” if it ain’t needed or necessary and adds cost to the product. I’ve never had any problems keeping a saw running properly without that stuff… so where is the need or necessity?
I’ll stick with the KISS theory… ain’t failed me yet.
Never does good to stand there and stamp your feet. Just stirs up dust.
Since stratified scavenging has such good effect on emissions (I breathe that air too!) and fuel consumption, the three most recently acquired 2-strokes here have it, as will any others to come. .....
Our Grandparents would be turning in their graves if they new how dependant we have become on new technology.
That actually is dubious, but it changes some parameters that the EPA measures. If you look at the specific consumption numbers, they usually don't confirm the fuel savings that the brands claim?
I suspect it more is done to please the EPA, than it really is to saving any environment.
The real question is why the EPA bothers with these small two-strokes anyway, as it is like pissing in the ocean. The ugly truth likely is to defend their own existense, when they are not allowed to do anything with what really matters to the environment anyway!
I got sucked into this thread to only find out it was a lead in to an anti government rant. Grow up, you don't seem to mind any of the other technology advances...
I drive a '68 pickup, do woodwork with planes and chisels, hunt with a bow and a flintlock, don't own a cell phone, and am working on a vacuum tube preamplifier for my turntable. I even have a 486 DOS machine that I still use. I love cutting with my old saws, and have been doing a lot of clearing with a Pulaski, bush axe and machete.
What I don't do is ##### about the new stuff. I have the luxury of doing things the way I want to, because I don't do it for a living. If I did, I'd be using different tools.
The innovations that you don't like make things easier and more efficient for those that need them, or get the saws to meet emissions requirements without huge sacrifices in function.
Perhaps you'd prefer empty shelves at your local dealership?
I don't care if someone wants to be a vegetarian, because what they eat doesn't make me crap, but I can't stand the ones that have to let you know they are vegetarians by incessantly #####ing about what is on the menu.
Yeah, my grandfather would have much rather done more work for less yield on our farm. I'm surprised he didn't trade his tractor in for some oxen.
Romaticism sure makes people say stupid things.
I'm not talking about tractors ande ox's. I'm talking about being dependent on things we really don't need. My grandparent owned a large farm also and because they provided for themselves they really didn't have to worry about the economy or the price of food. We have completely forgotten how to take care of ourselves for the most part.
