I will make this thread, before I get banned.
This fall, I had an "epiphany", I do not know about that spelling, nor do I
care. I have decided to abandon my "experiment", as it is no longer worth
carrying on, as many lowlife copycats, have made it thus.
This past fall, it occured to me, that the Stihl MS290 on the shelf, was
quite an item. So I bought one, and parted it out on E-bay, and did well.
I had to tweak my postings, but it was a profitable venture, all winter long,
until this past weekend, as too many weenie types have commandeered it.
I just feel like now it is time to lay out my observations of my experiment,
as well as others, and if you guys are polite, and not attack me, I may
tell you my interesting findings.
Well the first thing I found out, and the "Stihl" guys should take note........
I had originally parted it down to the piston, crank, cyl. etc....
But I had to give that up, as the "piston" was so scarred/marred by mishandling, that there was no way that a buyer would accept it.
After 4-5 saws, I realized it was probably on most of the pistons.
Since I was working at a Stihl dealership at the time, I warranteed them out.
So I sold the engine block as a whole.
So to protect my e-bay standing, I decided to sell the engine as a block,
ready to bolt on, and it did ok.
I am only bringing this up now, because it is spring, and I want to hurt the
aswipes that have copied off of my idea, and give something for you girls to
mull over................................................
I will gladly post more tidbits about my "experiments" if you are nice to me.......................................................................................................................
I am an open book, and as a river of information, and discussion, I have
decided to trickle on you, once again.
My Stihl parting out "gig" is done, so I will "edify" the "collective", whether
you all deserve it or not.
So here it is girls.................................................................
