[bookerdog]

Should we expand this discussion to include the sheetmetal rods gound in Stihl homeowner saws? Or the piston crowns too thin to withstand removing a clutch with a scrench?:greenchainsaw: Oh great. Now I'm doomed to read 25 more pages when I get back home in a couple hours!

Duh, It is because you didn't use an impact wrench.:hmm3grin2orange:

Check my sig everyone, send those crappy saws to me!!!!!

i read most of this thread, and it seems to me the natural progression of things... if stihl, or any other manufacturer, finds a way to save money on a product, they will jump at teh chance, all their competitors will also,,, they are still # one in sales right?? but you have to compare todays products with todays products,,, remember the old story of teh 2 guys getting chased by teh bear,,, one says to teh other, i don't have to out run the bear, i just have to out run you,,,

...for a quick look at THALL and 2K's relationship, and how it all began:

Who knew THALL could fly?

And now back to our regularly-scheduled bashing.

LMAO you are a bad man woodie.

Brad, it's not too late to hit the "go advanced" button while editing the original post, and I think that will let you edit out Chicom and edit in Brazilian in the title. Looks like you've still got 20 minutes left.

 

[Woodie]

But eventually, 2K and THALL's relationship grew...'deeper'

Stihl has been useing non-Male cylinders off and on for years.
If it depends on the cylinder not have the word Mahle on it.

Below

1-066 WO/Mahle.........One of my 066 milling saw's has one of the WO/Mahle

8-064's two W/Male, 6 WO/ Mahle

1-056 WO/Mahle.....I have some W/Mahle

1-024 WO/Mahel

Before you go try to see if your cylinder has Mahel on it. Mahle on some cylinders is on the very base
of cylinder and it will be very hard to see, if you can see it at all.

I'm no follower and you should know that as well as anyone.....The followers are the majority (not all) of your customers who walk into the Stihlership like a hoard of drones, who are doing nothing more than buying a name they perceive to be the best, based on an excellent marketing campaign....BTW, the marketing is one of the things Stihl does with superiority over their competition and their dealer network but build quality?....We'll argue that till the cows come home.

No propaganda here on my part....I just call 'em like I see 'em....A spade is a spade with me and if you can't see the fallacy in this decision by Stihl to use this crap (for profit) regardless of the detriment of their reputation, than you're lost buddy.

Fast look at that, why the assumations, why the anger. It almost like your showing jealouscy there. You know Stihl and there customers about as much as a fly on the wall, thats calling like it really is now isn't it?? Ya gotta toss that crystal ball Fast..

 

[danrclem]

If I were a Stihl dealer I would be very upset at the cylinder quality. If Stihl keeps on putting out poor quality parts it will hurt your livelihood down the road.

If this doesn't draw Lake out I fear he has retired.:help:

Hahaha, thanks Woodie, you proved my point about the sources, when you don't have a clue just join it with some fun and hey I got no problem with that at all,

Tommie,

You got an old 026/260 that I can throw the "most talked about cylinder in the world" (aka MTACITW) on? There are some nice, pricey ones on eBay, but I'm not sure I want to go that route.

Due to the exposure by one of the nations best chainsaw modifiers, STIHL executives in Virginia Beach have announced their Chainsaw sales have plummeted. The issue is that they, (STIHL) have been using inferior parts on their OPE, but are still charging the public premium prices on inferior products. They are traveling to Capitol Hill to meet with Government leaders, to seek some bailout funds, the amount requested has not been disclosed yet. This news seems to follow a pattern by many companies, ask for a Government handout when your own screwup causes your own demise.

More news forthcoming as it becomes available!

Oh, come on Tommy.....You've said it yourself....The vast majority of Stihl customers are homeowners and we all know how much most (not all) of 'em care to know about chainsaws.


Check list below:


It has a chain that cuts trees....Good to go!
It's a Stihl...Ooooh boy...I bought a good one!
It uses fuel but is it really necessary to put oil in the fuel?
You mean dirt dulled my chain, isn't wood harder than dirt?
Oh, there's an air filter to clean, well no one told me that.
What bar oil? I thought the oil went in the gas.

:greenchainsaw:

TT,

Whoa! I forgot about that. Never had an 026/260. I'd best be careful. With a new piston for the 44.7 mm, will it matter?

Should we expand this discussion to include the sheetmetal rods gound in Stihl homeowner saws? Or the piston crowns too thin to withstand removing a clutch with a scrench?:greenchainsaw: Oh great. Now I'm doomed to read 25 more pages when I get back home in a couple hours!

Well Brad I'm sorry you posted those. Now we can stettle the score about Stihl and you. Seems your hell bent to find anything you can and stick it up here. Well this time you stuck up something that proves you don't know what the hell your doing. So lets talk about this rod and piston and you tell me why it doesn't look like yours, I took them out, big differance isn't it but I do it for a living, not a hobby.

 

[THALL10326]

Is yours a quailty issue or a workmanship issue, I think its the latter isn't it..
