Yeah, the Stihl dealer in the next county has a kid in parts that is a pain. I happened to be in that county one day shopping, and
had a customer that was bringing in his MS250 and I told the guy I would pick up one of the $20 fully adjustable Zama's for him,
but I didn't have any part numbers with me at the time. I figured, "What the hell, the kid has been there for at least a year, he should be able to sell me one, anyway.... I was wrong....... He had a mechanic standing beside me, and he was being an arse.
He said "Well, the MS250 has several different carbs that it came out with!!!"
After spending 10 minutes futzing with him, asking him if I could look at his Part Smart, price list, or whatever, I gave up....
A good parts guy needs to know at least a little bit of knowledge to help folks that don't have their numbers handy.
