Lol it's gone from a "making fun of Stihl" thread to "let's S Stihl's D" thread!

You think Dan's gonna let us run the new 441C-M at the Wedding GTG?

So, back on page two I think it was, I asked if it is a clamshell motor. Does anyone know for sure?
Not a huge deal to me either way, I'll run it and port it however it comes, just curious because it kind of looks like it.
Seems some of the guys beating their gums here might have access to an IPL and could provide something useful for a change.

Mr. HE
I hope you're not actually expecting a useful post out of me.
My brain has never worked hard enough to even come close to half of a useful post.
Not talking about you, my hope of getting a useful post out of you is below my hope of getting a truthful word out of the mouth of Obama.
Mr. HE
I agree. How the hell do you fix a blocked injector in a forest?

The reason is they had they crap together, they had the 362 out way ahead of the competition, they followed quickly with the 291,311,391 and 261.
While others have lost major retail market share at Sears,Sam's Club and suffered a sku reduction at Wal-Mart and had distrobution issues early in the year, Stihl thrived. It's not a reflection of quality, I'd be proud to own virtually any mfg.'s professional saws, it is a reflection of upper management and channel of distrobution decisions. Now Dolmar find itself having EPA compliance issues.
Stihl just happens to be managed very well. They will continue to thrive due to innovation, being privately held is a big advantage, they can make the investments in technology, R&D, without public scrutiny, they control what they do in house rather than running and buying a company to play catch up on stratos like Husky chose to do, I ask you this, is the new 562 a husky design or is it a orange and silver redmax, it really makes no difference but the point is that it is almost what 2 years behind the 362 in hitting the market, big difference in sales right there.
They only have one brand to focus on vs. an umbrella of brands, which in itself is much more profitable.

Mr. HE
Matt when you do do a video please do one with the stock chain too.
Firstly don't you ever mock Travolta again. He's my idol and I've pulled that move in many a nightclub whilst drunk...

Yeah, right.
Did you have a white linen suit to bust those moves back in the eighties ?
Ha, didn't think so.
At least mine scored me major gropage at Maroubra Seals on the dance floor circa the summer of '87, although I can't be certain all the hands on my arse and elsewhere were from the fairer sex.
Hopefully all the photographic evidence of it has long since been destroyed.........but I digress.......
Umm, wasn't Husky years in front of Stihl with their X-Torq (strato) saws ? I seem to recall the 455, 570 and 575XP coming out long before any Stihl strato, and AFAIK Shinny came out with the 4-mix style engine before anyone else, but I'm happy to be corrected.
So Tommy, all we got to do is start a Stihl bashing thread and you'll jump back in the ring with us???
Come on bro !!! we can use you in the " why won't my saw start" threads too....either way its good to see ya posting even if its just temporary.
I'm sending ya a Wendy's #2 just for fun !!!
