Brad, in his own way Thall is trying to give some good advice, get you some liability insurance to cover yourself on saw modifications, whether we like or not, when money in involved people you would think would never ever sue you will. After sending countless days in depositions and lawsuits covering product liability I know the seriousness of that issue first hand, that's why I carry 3 mil in general farm liability, the last thing I want is someone coming on the property getting hurt and suing my rear off. That's why Wal-Mart makes vendors carry product liability and indemnify them. A rubber band or paper clip has to have two million, a trampoline twenty million and on it just keeps going up, a paper towel carries two million, why people sue, little Johnny sticks a paperclip in his mouth, chokes and dies. Here they come with lawyer in tow, Wal-Mart was wrong, the clip should have been designed to be choke proof. It's that damn nutty, I can assure you. Protect yourself and your family.
The saw you may change hands from the good ole boy that had it modded but the new owner knows it's been snellerized, goes out cuts a limb in half like his wild thingy never did, cuts his thang off. Now he can't have proper relations, your fault, the damn saw was too fast. Good for a five million dollar suit. Extreme example, but you never know about us hillbilles.

Im up. But this dam thread is still wasting my time. LOL
2K, Stihl did it to them selves not BRAD!!! Take responsibility for oneself. I'm really tired of its somebody's else's fault CRAP!!! T-Wolf and Slinger have pointed this out as well. So I guess your saying its their fault too??? I agree that cyl is crap, so I guess its my fault now too. Tommy agreed it looks like crap too, so he's in too. I guess Stihl is going to revoke his dealership now.

Just wanted to show ya a real trimmer.
So you still planning on doing that or what?? :dunno:
"That's only true when you're transferring force from the piston to the crankshaft."
I was joking about the direction of the forces being different when the expansion of gas pushes on the piston, and when the crank is turned by a wrench...but the rod is, in fact, how the force is transferred from the piston to the crank. So...what exactly needs explaining?

Pink slips? Do those Kawas have a good resale value? Don't know if my Stihl dealer will take one in on trade for another 100RX.
I have a new MS 361 with a cylinder stamped STIHL on the base of the cylinder above the clutch cover.
I am wondering if there is a Stihl dealer on this forum that would want to make an even trade for an new MS 361 that has MAHLE stamped on the base of the cylinder above the clutch cover.
I would pay UPS shipping and insurance both ways.
My saw has never seen fuel mix or bar oil, still new.
But I KNOW it will run and cut wood. And I KNOW that the cylinder must be as good as a Mahle, because I have read that right here on this thread.
It must be as good as a Mahle or Stihl would never have put that cylinder on the saw that I laid down over $600 to get out the door.
Thing is all my other saws have Mahle cylinders, and I would like for all my cylinders to match.:greenchainsaw:

Stihl as a company can't give out cylinders because it "looks bad", much less just bring in a cylinder off the saw and say, "look, it preforms bad". Brad has a good dealer but if Stihl finds out about this, his dealer will eat that cylinder. The saw should have went in as a whole, the complaint would have been "low power" and the right steps would have been taken to resolve this issue.
Me and you are in the auto repair bussiness, you just said you would not warranty that, me either. Now if it were one of my good customers, I would bend alittle to try and help.

No bad castings here either.
LOL, I'm not checking either. If these peices of OPE have problems, Stihl can fix 'em. I've not even touched the 211's muffler, it just runs so good. I'm thinking of just leaving it stock, I got enough of ported ones anyway.
Nah no problems, Their STIHLS
I'd say the preform and the form were bad.

Ah yes, #1. I think dad helped sale a 211 today. He was using it at a church clean up along with some pals using some pullons. They were not very happy about their purchases after running the tiny 211. I gotta put that big Stihl sticker on the truck's back window also, it will look great!
