That's OK, no reason to hold back! Very similar situation across the pond. We probably have the same segment of population here that has higher expectations, but what does a original 260 top end cost in the US? And even here on AS, in an environment of addicts, who has ever bought a brand new original top end from a dealer for a well used saw? Never heard of it! There are a ton of threads about aftermarket but never of OEM! Who in his right mind would buy, just a guess, for 200$ a new top end for a 260, let's not forget new bearings, seals, etc. for some cash more, have a dealer install it all and in the end have a bill of a few hundred dollars, if he can get a brand new f.e. echo 590 for 400$ incl. 5 years warenty, or Dolmar 5105, Husqvarna 545 for ~500$, that will put any standard 260 to shame?!?!
Why is it possible in the US to go to dealers and get pickup loads full of outdated saws? Where often only a few minor things need to be replaced. Sorry to say but you are a blind to the obvious! It is the same situation here as in the US.
Further about all carbs made by Walbro come from China, so you probably are not happy about a lot of saws. About all replacement rubber parts for saws probably comes from China, so you probably aren't happy with most replacement parts for your saws. The electric of most cars today comes from China, so you probably aren't happy with most cars. Most of the consumer electronics comes from China, so you probably aren't happy with most consumer electronics..... etc. etc.
Welcome to the real world!
