Up in BC along the coast there is a whole culture of transients that gather every year to pick mushrooms,I think its chanterelles that they seek for big money.
Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

Yep , that be the ones ! Couldn't member what they were called. My Uncles out there use to go find them.
Arrowhead fixed me up good on my 5000 ! Sending me all the brake parts and the right color handle to boot ! Told me another piston they use in them to make them run real good ! 246 Husky I think ?
Three young lads from close by were doing nothing in life at all, I brought up this mushroom thing and after researching it somewhat they decided to drive out from here to the West Coast and did so in just over 3 days and nights straight through driving. They soon hooked up with a group out there and picked the whole season, they managed to save enough money to come back home after the shrooms died out to spend the rest of the year living it up better than they had ever done. They returned the next year and between picking schrooms and planting trees have stayed out there ever since.
Don't sound to bad ! LOL If I was stihl young nuff and single ! LOL
They have done well, course they got into growing some other crops also.
Not all that sure I will work on a Steel tomorrow ? LOL Sure not having any luck with them ! May have to get another Husky or Eeko out ? LOL
The right stuff can pay very good , BUT !! LOL
Some days are like that but I never have problems with Stihls, more problems with other makes....LOL
If you can make it 3 years in a row you can quit and do other things....LOL
Long as ya make it ! LOL
You would never believe the number that do make it.
Got no one to blame but myself. LOL Should have had the jug marked !! The 170 ? Reused rings several times before with no problems ? Long as there not wore out. LOL
May or may not be rings, could be some other cause. How tightly did the piston fit the bore?
DA didn't even check ! Got to be the drugs ! Last couple days have not been good ! LOL
Had 2 other pistons,trashed one of them.Have the other motor together,I did check that piston,plus new rings ! It will run fine when I get it in there. LOL
I have some 018 jugs too,but need cranks for them. The wrist pin is different size on the new pistons I have. I know there is something different about MS180s and 018s,need to look that up.

I just stay away from those saws and stick to what I know, PRO series....LOL
I am the only one I know with any PRO saws around here ! LOL Only thing I can sell is cheap **** ! LOL A MS290 is a big saw around here ! LOL
Yeah,..when it comes to selling them you are forced to work on what sells. I only sell 2-3 saws a year and that`s fine with me but I pick up 20 or more each year and that`s the problem.....LOL

Same here. No one wants a pro saw when there are Ranchers and Farm boss saws out there...

Now a days the general public will buy whatever is the cheapest they can get away with, they don`t plan on keeping a saw for 20 years, just look at getting one and running it til it stops. Toss it and get another plastic fantastic.
