Nah, I still like Poulan, Echo, and Husky more than Stihl...
Your ignorance is proven two fold. Just liking those brands dont make you an idiot. Its your stupid thread here that seals the deal.

What stupid thread? Dont tell me you think the MS-280 C is a great saw for the money, and is just as high a quality as the other models?

They can't be all bad... Apart from one MS270 run on straight gas (cylinder survived), we've never had a 270/280 back for service..... ever...
Furthermore, I have wasted enough of my time arguing with you, Red. I will focus my time on better things.:spam:
Tommy whats the weather like down in Pensacola, FL ???

Better than 3 POS pullons. Do the math. I personally think you just dont know how to work on a Stihl, you probably have a mental block about it.
The title said "Without a doubt, the crappiest STIHL ever produced...," and it was about one single saw.
Here I figured it was going to be about EVERY STIHL EVER MADE!!!

Didn't Jonsered just come out with their 4th saw in their line-up??? That means they've produced what, maybe 5 saws throughout their history? I foresee Jonsered being sold in Wal-fart and flowes in the next 5 yrs since your really just buying a red Husky anyways. I'd say if you buy another 50 or 60 saws they'll have hit 100 saws manufactured andddddddd if you become a dealer you'll make what, say #4 or 5??? I gotta say JR has got to be the only dealer network that sucks worse than Dolmar or Stihl. Honestly I don't think anybody running JR's should be saying anything about Stihls. My 044 walked all over about 1/2 dozen 2171's and I did it just to show'em they were junk and at their request for talking smack. As far as this whole Stihl bashing thing goes, I dare anyone to put their other saws through the conditions alot of my buddies do everyday. Many months of the year are wayyy below zero up here. They'll cut 5+ tandems everyday with 044's. This is one of the most tried/proven/ and hands down one of the best saws ever built by any company. In my neck of the woods they swear by them and it's been a sad day to see them go. Anyone that complains at how junky they are either hasn't run them or they are just trying to stir the pot because of a lack of knowledge. More 44's are used across the globe than ANY other single saw I'd say, it's not because they are junk. Maybe you should actually work with a bunch of guys that cut wood instead of probably a bunch of guys around your neighborhood drinking beer and bringing you their saws because they were drunk and forgot to mix the gas.... This thread is crap. And what's more, I still haven't seen a single post about what is actually wrong with the saw or what was found...
:notrolls2:
I am simply amazed at this post.
Once again, an Echo saves the day.... He has 2 saws, Echo and Stihl, The stihl failed.
Red, you have a line up of wal mart specials that you have drug out of the dumpster & trashed trade in saws that have been given to you. True, Ive probably got 200 bucks invested in the lot of em.
From what it sounds like, not many of them run. Only a few dont run, the 306-A needs a muffler, and the Wizard BS-13 needs a carb.
That being said, if you cant repair a POS saw, how the heck would you be able to repair a Stihl. Who says I cant repair a saw? My customers have never complained.
Do you know even know how to clean & rebuild a carb & then properly adjust it ?? Good God I hope so.
How many hours do you have under your belt running a saw?? Not a heck of alot, I work on them, I dont use them much. Im in the South, not alot of demand for firewood except between january and some of Feb. When it gets real chilly, just flip on the heater and be done with it.
Im talking about actually cutting wood, not runing one in the garage, or will your Mom not allow you to actually cut wood with a saw because she is afraid you will hurt yourself. Wow..just...wow
Do you know how to sharpen a chain with a file ?? Yes, but I like a Grinder, I use a Stihl Grinder.
Do you know how to do basic troubleshooting without making it sound like you are doing brain surgery. Yes.
You speak of doing a pressure test. Do you even own the tools do do one ?? Own them? Heck no. Got a few sets at work, including the one in the Echo Diagnostics Tool Kit.
I have a suggestion for you Red: You need to shut your mouth & open your ears; Look, listen & learn Thanks dad....any more words of wisdom?
As has been suggested, why dont you quit bashing the saw (which is better than any POS that you own by the way) The MS-280 cant hold a CS-520's jock strap, so dont even go there, Heck Ill bet the little 350 is even better than the 280.
Fix the saw & then come back & tell us what was wrong with it, how you found out what was wrong with it & how you fixed it.
What do you mean Space ??
Stihl wont let a 21 year old kid with a garage full of Poulans & Taiwan made macs that he pulled out of the neigborhood dump be a Stihl dealer.
Red its a good thing you didnt become a Stihl dealer.
What would you do with 50K worth of flimsy plastic junk saws ??
... I'd send it back to the stihl dealer an stay "fix it right". If they don't, escalate it to the regional Stihl office.
