Well, too many of these on line parts places for Sthil seem scattered and far from offering a full line on their parts offering. In my case I have an 026. If I want common parts like a carb, chain or bar it's easy to find. If I want to find a seach engine that will list ' all' the parts that come with this saw - that search engine or finding the on line re-seller of a full line of parts is hard for me to find.
Just wondering if someone knows of a Sthil parts re-seller who is on line and has a search engine so I can order from a ' full ' line of parts availability. So far I just seem to find web sites that stumble on a very limited line of parts - not the full line. I know I can always go back to my local dealer , but Stihl's mark up is sometimes insane - like on the carb. I wonder if Husky is any better for finding a complete line of parts for your saw at a reasonable price? This Sthil search is depressing. Just finding a simple fuel line for an 026 can take 40 min. I think I have found a fuel line for 6 other model Sthil's - but for my 026 - that's just asking too much.
Just hoping some of you have found better sites than me and can spread the info. Also just wondering if it gets any better if I switch brands? Good saws are good, but a good source of spare parts is critical.
