For Teddy Scout, pics of 090 Helper Handle

Matt asked me a couple of weeks ago to get some pics of the new helper handle I got from my local dealer a while ago so here you go !!

That's really nice. I am guessing that's aftermarket. What did that set you back and who makes/carries it?

No it's NOS and I think with very large discount around $160. Another month or so and it would have been tossed in the bin ! The importers here for Stihl have a 5 year rule, if a part is not sold for 5 years it's tossed out I missed out on the last 090P&C and a heap of NLA parts last april since we did'nt know that the rule applied to ALL parts not just the small stuff.

Wow. You need to get that dealer a Wendy's #9 and an ice cold Pepsi and have him call you the day before trash day.

Amongst other bit & bobs I got this complete 090 starter cover for about $40 The guys at the dealers thought I was going to burst into tears when they told me about all the parts thrown out !!

I need a carb rebuild kit for mine. That is a nice part for $40.

You should get a carb kit from your dealer no problem, the TS 350's used the same carb.

I'm thinking a case of cold beer and a few pizza's for the guys in the shop would go a long way towards receiving an important phone call at the right time Randy!
