There's a fellow on this site who doesn't care for Stihls in general, and 290s particularly. He cannot resist chiming in to bash the 290 whenever someone mentions it.
I am becoming his opposite, the yang to his yin. Or the other way around, whichever is cooler. Whatever.
Stihl warranty is fine, but some dealers sure suck. Stihl doubles their warranty if you buy their oil. It's really good oil.
Their carbs are like everyone else's, EPA calls the tune. Mostly no prob unless you're modding the saw.
My Stihls start just fine, thanks.
I happen to have mostly Stihls because that's what sells around here; I get em' off the junk pile, and unjunk them. I am becoming Husky-curious.
hey buddy I understand. Everyone has their own preferences. I just personally don't like Stihl cause of what I mentioned. Hard starting, pricey, etc. And actually on my new Husky you can adjust the jets up to a half a turn. I personally don't like the Stihl dealer by me because the guy that owns it is a know it all jerk. I brought a Homelite 330 over to him and ask him if he could fine tune it for me. Just the jets, nothing else. A what 2 min job? He looked at me and laughed and pretty much said "we don't work on junk".
So as far as I am am concerned, I don't buy from a company that hires people like that. He could of said nicely that they only worked on Stihls. I have heard other complaints also about him.
