Stump knows we care and he also knows he should've handled this differently I'm sure. I wish him the best and hope to see him again.

Matt, it may be too late for this one, I suspect you're back from your road trip, but I'll ask anyway. The thread I closed a while back, oracle8 had paid for a carb from Stumpy but not gotten it. He's in Germany. If there's any chance you could find some information on that, it's greatly appreciated. I unlocked that thread; http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/238076.htm so if you find anything out, post it there.

I feel I owe some of you guys an apology. I'm the guy that locked the other thread. My feeling at the time was that it was a simple error and easily fixed, and I didn't want it turned into a witch hunt. I still don't know exactly what happened with Stumpy, but hope he gets his problems ironed out. When I saw this thread today, I realized that if I'd left the other thread run it's course, some members might have had their saws back quite a while ago.

Again, I apologize for this, I'm far from perfect, but I try to learn from my mistakes. Matt and Don, if I can help at all with shipping, please let me know.

I hope everyone is reunited with their saws soon, and that Stumpy and his family are well. I considered him a friend on here, even met him once. I am disappointed with the way he's handled this, but still consider him a friend.

this person has contacted me about doing him a carb. if you can find that carb and ship it to me I will do the job and send it to oracle 8. i am going to order a carb for him soon if it doesn't show up. i hate for him to pay for the carb twice.

As someone who has trusted a saw to a site sponsored builder (with great results), I'd think the other builders and members here deserve more than a "he's got some issues" as an explanation. As someone said earlier, there are very few excuses for not returning someones property they have entrusted to you.

I don't know Mr. Stumpy, but he should realize he has hurt the trust that members here place in builders that are site sponsors.

Not really... There are only 3 folk's saws to take care of here, and like sunfish said, stump ain't a thief.. They been sitting in the shack till he could get things straightened out...
He's out of the saw building biz. Getting things ironed out now... 2 down, 1 to go...

Stumpy did not call me back, or reply to text.

But it's very good to hear he is getting saws back to the owners!

The issue is resolved thanks to some members here who took the initiative and did the right thing. Let's just leave the blame game alone.

The people who have issues with Stumpy will work them out themselves.

If the carb can't be found then I'll supply one for you to mod and then send to the guy.
