Crappy Stihl Cylinder - Looks like ChiCom Garbage!!!

[mowoodchopper]

I guess its time to face the music !! The good old days are gone as are the good old stihls. Glad I have one good old school stihl cause the new ones seem to be junk !

Hearing from the old steal camp leader that is funny. Tell mr drippy all about it would ya. LMAO

Thank goodness for Mr.Drippy, the worlds most famous 372, sold to a Sthil man from Baileys online, it doesn't get any better than that,LOL

What his beef is with Stihl I don't know and don't care.

Here's a reminder:

 

[THALL10326]

Or maybe its just starting and it will come back to bite them in the A$$

Ya think they will have to lay off a 1000 employees like Husky did in 2008 Booker, man that would really start a good thread wouldn't it,haha

 

[THALL10326]

Here's a reminder:

And? That cylinder must not be too bad, I heard it was sold for 85.00. Talk about ethics,what a joke..

 

[THALL10326]

Yup, sure looks as if sales would be down. Maybe all of Stihls customers aren't pulling the jugs to find out? Or maybe their products are running so good, it isn't needed? Or maybe they don't care? Or maybe their other brand from the box store, that was not demostrated, quit and the box store could not help 'em?

Well fear not. Husky told slammed the door in Baileys face after all the saws they sold for them, Husky is still in business without those online sales so we know Stihl has nothing to worry bout,

 

[THALL10326]

"Woodie" and "information" don't mix, he just can't produce, LOL.

Well I knew he didn't have children but I wasn't gonna knock him for not producing any, :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

That rod was bent by trying to remove a flywheel nut with a scrench and rope in the cylinder for a stop! Not a 2' breaker bar. I now have a method of disassembly for these saws that should cause them so much trouble.

EpicKlein is right. Since the rod is too weak to hold the torque required to break the flywheel nut loose, I now use an impact wrench. Yup, you heard me right. Same thing with the clutch. But make sure you remove the flywheel first or you'll shear the cast aluminum key off of the flywheel.

How can Stihl get away with a weak rod like that? If you bring in one of these saws significantly damaged, all they're going to do is sell you a new one. Tell my why the competitors still put much stronger case, beam-style rods in some of their their little saws? Yup, that's the ones I recommend.

Do I have a beaf with Stihl? I have a beef with anything I find of poorer quality thatn the competition.

The quality of my worksmanship? If I breaka you saw, I fixa you saw. I think I just proved that by refusing to work with that crap Stihl cylinder for one of my customers.

Might, it just might, doubt it, but it just might.

Nope, they sure won't. We see bad casts, do we see hung/broken rings and circlips flying out trashing the p&c? It's looking like the brazilians can make a better product than china.

Howdy,
Looks can be deceiving, We get aftermarket samples form all over the world. The Brazilian product is on par with the Chinese. The next best is the Taiwanese. The European product is the best and carries the higher prices. I think that our own previous fiasco's qualified me to comment. I'll be the first to agree it was wise-ass statement but, this has become the general content of this thread. I've stated this before. Our issues all arose from the wrong type of product inserted in our kits. I don't think we ever had a piston or cylinder fail on it's own account. It was either rings that should have been ductile, or clips that shouldn't have been. I've just returned from Taiwan. I think that when I left, nobody was left wondering exactly how we feel about their QC. I've implemented a collateral inspection process that will have at least a double redundancy for quality control. I will try to make this process so seamless it's a no brainer when it comes to our product quality. I realize the Stihl cylinder in question didn't fail. To me, looking at the mis-location of the intake, it shouldn't have made it to the plating process.

He hasn't figured out men can't have babies, woodie and booker would love to have kids but everytime they fart their offspring are blown everywhere.

Ouch, that cut deep! LOLOLOL

Were not talken bout employees old timer. Your skipping rope like alittle girl around the issue. Keep here up you will learn your ABC that way.

So using crap parts is justifiable if it means you save some jobs. That's situational ethics again. I don't buy it.

Must not be too bad, it says Stihl on it.

I definitely don't have your expertise, but I can recognize crap when I see it, and I might not know much about 2-strokes, but I do know they don't run on BS and bluster.

Kudos for making a big step in QC for ya'lls products. I disagree with this 260's cylinder being on par with the chicom, you don't see Stihl rings and circlips having problems or out of round cylinders causing pistons to stick in the bore. In fact, members here recommend Stihl rings/cirlclips in the BB kits, if you HAVE to have a BB kit.

[joatmon]

Joat are you from america because, half the time I can't understand a dang thing you write.

Well, your thread starter hero has demonstrated a bias against a certain race and now it seems you do as well.

Perhaps this Stihl bashing has a meaning I hadn't considered.
