Ok all I have to say is this blows! I found Greg (another arborist member) through ebay and bought a few things from him... One thing leads to another after speaking on the phone and before you know it Greg has immassed a giant box of parts for me over 2-3 week period. The S&H is brutal from CT to IA so I had him hold off on send until i knew everything I needed was in the box to finish 2-5 saw projects... Needless to say i was getting anxious to get these saws running before my Christmas break so I could go cutting! Greg sent out the box on 12/10 so there was plenty of time for me to receive the box and get the saws all together in time for a good cutting weekend... Well Tuesday night the package finally arrives after sitting in the Des Moines sorting center forever! All anzious I poped open the box to find....
Stihl 024 Super
Stihl 024 recoil

1x Stihl 009/010/011 oil pump
1x Stihl 009/010/011 clutch and sprocket drum

1x Stihl MS290 flywheel
1x Stihl MS290 carburetor (without limiter caps)
1x Stihl 009 black handle cover (this is the top of the throttle handle)
2x Stihl 009/010/011 fuel/gas caps (x2)
1x Stihl 039/390 Crank, connecting rod, piston and wrist pin assembly
How much does this suck!?!?!?
Oh and the fact that since USPS lost all these items and they weren't insured, so I'll probably never see the parts I need and if I do it won't be in time to go cutting this weekend! Not to mention I can't change my vacation now... IE: I can't cut this weekend and won't have enough vacation time go cut later this winter. Oh and the $$$ I am gonna need to spend over again these parts that I need!
This Blows! The Christmas Grinch already won and put me in a bad mood for the rest of the holiday weekend... Hope Ya'll are faring better than me!
Happy Holidays,
Nathan
