This has me "all shook up", lol. Not really. I'm sure it would run fine, but so do most chicom parts. The quality is not here, plain and simple. Plus I would be surprised if Stihl won't replace it. The question is, will the next one look any better. If I'm lucky, the warehouse will have NOS Mahle kit. If it were my saw and I couldn't get a NOS Mahle kit, I'd be hitting up bcorradi to see if his are Mahle. We'll see what the dealer has to say after work today.
Is Stihl actually making these in their own facility? I'd be surprised if they are. I just don't see this kind of garbage on the rest of their parts.
