Utah, unfortunately.....
It was a really stupid change. The thing is that the flippy caps suck and they haven't done anything to improve on them. WTF
Don't worry. Stihl will eventually improve there design, just like they did with the spring AV. Husqvarna does there R&D for them.

There are things I like about each brand, I totally agree on the stihl flip caps @Cracker Boy @RI Chevy . They just suck. I think dolmar had the best av system, but husky is good too. I feel like the rubber mounts translate a lot of vibration.

Regardless, I'm really excited to see and hear more about the MS500I. Either it will be evolutionary or revolutionary and either is fine by me!

Look at some of the new stihl ope that are going back to 2 strokes and screw in caps. They are learning folks will go elsewhere to buy. ;)
What saws are getting screw caps that Stihl makes? I have a screw cap on my Ht 131 but its just on the power head.
