Crappy Stihl Cylinder - Looks like ChiCom Garbage!!!

[blsnelling]

...but I don't think the average, and for the most part people who are on AS is a enthusiast, not your average occasional wood cutter, most of the guys I know is just give a tool that'll get the job done, and that meets their criteria, now if you set them down give them a class on old vs new what the difference was, it would probably create some doubt, but of the millions of saw owners in this country only a couple thousand if that will ever hear of the issue, and with this countries short memory they would forget it in two weeks, some people have forgotten we were attacked on 9/11 and bad guys are still out there to harm Americans on their home soil.

I'm trying to find a period in the above, but there isn't one, lol:greenchainsaw:

Anyway, to my point. I agree with you 100% that most people would care about the inner workings of a tool. They're happy if it just works. But I do believe that 90% of the AS members that frequent the chainsaw forum would care.

I tell you, this thread is like a scab. I know it won't go away if I keep picking at it, I just can't help myself....

This is too funny

I'm sitting here in a thread where Stihl's reputation is on the line, their quality is failing. I hear my AOL go you got mail. Then it does it again. Then it does it again, bang bang bang. I open my mail and low and behold there are three e-mails from Sthl Power Chord, the online thing from Stihl, I just sold three more Stihl's sitting here on my azz. Will be picked up tomorrow at the shop, ordered online. Timing is a beautifull thing isn't. So much for this thread affecting Stihl sales, unfrigging real, gotta love it...

Come on now Tom. Are you saying you wouldn't try to take care of this for me if I was in your shop often, daily at times, buying thousands of dollars worth of Stihl parts over the last three years? Plus I just bought a new ZTR mower Saturday. My dealer has had me find parts for them they needed for a customers saw and couldn't get new. It's just that kind of relationship. I don't believe for one minute you wouldn't try to help out someone like this. This cylinder has not been modified in anyway. It's just as it came from the factory. I may take it back to them yet and see what happens. Why not? I have nothing to loose.

2K you have been to my little hole in the wall, you seen how I operate. I'm very good with people that are good with me aren't I? Those that come looking or harping get what? If Brad brought that cylinder to me and told me the story on it what would I tell Brad in two shakes of a lamb tail? How long would Woodie last around me, I say 5 minutes, how long you say?

I think all of them could get along with ya. If they come a barkin', they will be howlin' out the door. I made my first post thinking the whole saw would be taken in and checked out by a tech, Now I see no reason for his dealer to replace that cylinder under warrenty because that dealer doesn't know the complete story. Woodie may catch a hammer upside the ole noggin', but I'm sure it's happened before. Either one is going to get a ear full of cuss and Elvis tunes, LOL.

I'm not sure how much longer I'll be with Nissan but if I leave, I'll have to drive down and help ya wrench for a day or two. I Stihl need to check out Hoss's collection and maybe meet Eddie.

Just so that you know...I was born in the south, raised in the south, and have lived the majority of my life in the south.

I consider myself Southern.

I do not, however, carry the same inferiority complex that lineage seems to have given you.

.

Please edit that, you are giving us real Southern folks a bad name.

Tom would help ya out no question, but you will have to approach the issue a different way then what was done here.

I said the only way you would get one is if you was tight with your dealer and he convinced Stihl to provide the cylinder. I also said I hope you get one, really I do, I mean that.

As for me I do not think my guys would approve of a saw being taken apart by you for modding purposes and then bringing the cylinder in complaining about quality. What your doing is 100% against all manufactures guidlelines Brad, you know that , I know that, your dealer knows that. They cannot and will not be a part of what your doing in any way with those saws because of legal reasons, liability reasons, your not cerified by Stihl to be doing what your doing, even if you know what your doing, and yes your voiding the warranty as well. Its cut and dry Brad, they give you a cylinder, your gonna mod it, hand the saw someone, the machine has been altered, they get hurt with it, who gets sued, you or Stihl. Thats why no manufacture wants anything to do with saw builders, those are facts Brad. Its nothing personal on you but things are what they are. You may not beleive one word I just said but one day, god forbid, and I wish no bad luck to you, but what can happen usually does. I myself would not want my hands touching the cylinder you want, that ties me to it, no thanks..

You're arguing with your imagination again. No one EVER said this thread would hurt Stihl.

If they make a habit of putting out cylinders like that, their sales might get hurt though. Most consumers will pay box store prices for box store equipment.

All ya'll got it wrong. It's pronounced Suthrun.

My post was aimed directly at those on this forum that hold up Stihl OEM as the gold standard of all parts. I would not give that kind of flack to my dealer. He hasn't asked for it. Matter of fact, he agreed with my 100% when he saw this cylinder. Unfortunately, Lakeside has chosed to abandon ship. That's cool though. There are way important things in life than this forum. I just haven't figured out what they are yet, LOL

Oh Toooooooooooooomyyyyyyyyyyyy

My thanks to Erick...

A few guys have already posted they were thinking of buying a Stihl but might go with another brand now after seeing this.

Yee hawwwww

 

[Erick]

LOL, Woodie show me you got a set, man up, did it say 1.6HP or 1.6cu.in, come on let me hear it. Come on, let me hear you say what it really said, come on, just say what it said, easy to type, repeat after me, 1.6cu.in, not 1.6HP like you was blow harding about as usual,LOLOL

Why Woodie, I wonder could you look and tell me again how many HP that KGT27A is???

 

[edisto]

amongst journeyman, there's no such thing as "good enough." It's either good, or it isn't. And it isn't.

If any of us had any sense the thread would end right there.

Leave it to a canuck!

They won't let me rep you though...I guess I have to be more global.

If your dealer has decided to give ya a new cylinder, then he is a good dealer acting only on a personal basis, I can understand this due to all the bussiness you have spent there. I doubt he would do that for a joe blow.

Why add Lake in? You just wanted his input?

Poor ol' Tommy...his dancin' shoes is done all wore out, now!!!
