I have a Stihl 075 that I bought a year and a half ago on eBay. It ran good out of the box for a while. I started having some issues with it though, and through the help of this site I could work through them. At times I would take it to one of the local shops for repair because of time constraints or, more accurately, I'm not a small engine guy, I'm not any kind of engine guy. Anyway, each time the Stihl tech would say "I can't fix it", "its to old", "I can't get parts". Each time I would get my saw back in a box of parts. I would go home, come to this site, learn, get "new old-stock" or aftermarket parts and fix it myself. I'm not a small engine guy and I can fix the thing. It seems like these "Stihl techs" only care about selling OEM parts. They could care less about having a satisfied customer or actually fixing a saw for someone. Is it just me? I'm off to order a piston and rings and whatever else I might need.
Thanks for all the help from everyone here.
