:laugh:

Not really, I don't run around the board. If I start a thread I stay in it to the conclusion. If I get in one such as this I will stay in it and not run around the site, thats why I like long threads like this, its easier to keep up with,:cheers::cheers:
 
Who is making the cylinders for Stihl? Yeah I could probably read one of the 50+ pages to find out but I'm not, this thread is getting harder and harder to read.:cry:
 
That's a pretty big straw man you are building THALL. Never seen one made of round bales before.

If you can't argue the facts, generate a ridiculous statement and argue against it. Brad was expressing surprise and disappointment. Nothing more.


Of course, if that cylinder is not a freakish mistake, Stihl could be engineering their own undoing.

Thats the problem with this thread Ed, the maybe, the could be, what are they doing, oh my they're gonna go under if they keep this up, and no one knew but me where the cylinder even came from. The speculation in this thread is beyond anything I've ever seen.

I am still waiting for someone to tell me how the saw ran. Untill I find out I'm going to pull a cystall ball and assume its alot to do about nothing.

Tommie,

If you want to put that cylinder on a 260 and see how it works, it's yours for the asking.

Then you'll bust some crystal balls,

Those are not corporate decisions. Those are three indivials making poor or undereducated decisions. To use the cylinders and designs saws as they do is a corporate decision.

And as far as me selling it? You are the guys saying its acceptable. Joatmon knows exactly what he bought and I told him he was nuts for doing so. In no was does that reflect on my character as you have insinuated several times. And defending the weak build construction of the 180 by accusing my methods is nothing less than rediculous. You're fishing for straws using that in your arguements. This thread would have ended about 30 pages ago if a couple of you had readily admitted that the cylinder is crap and Stihl is wrong for using them. Instead you have given evasive after evasive answer and tried to turn it around in your favor.

Nice try. We ain't buyin' it!:sword:

Brad why don't you give that cylinder to Joat, you told him its no good, its awful, what the hell kind of salesmenship is that. Give it to him and let him prove your right, lets hope it fails. Making him buy it when you say its no good, well gee, what a deal. You say Joat is nuts for buying it then don't take his money, be a sport, give it too him, its only a cylinder. Dayumm Brad if I can give away over 50 saws you should be able to let go of a cylinder you say is no good.

Far as the 180 you admitted you used a rope, thats a no no in the 180, you found out the hard way. Would you like me to tell you why the rope caused that so you can somehow accept the fact you screwed up, not Stihl. Defend all you want, the rope bury's your claim 100%.

Great idea Joat. You buy it, I'll buy it from you. I got 5 026/260's. I'm not afriad to run it, lets put it to the test, if it fails I will give Brad all the credit in the world, if it doesn't crow shall be served at 6pm sharp at 20th tank. If it doesn't fail within 20 tanks it isn't gonna fail, most bad cylinders won't last 3 tanks before hanging a ring and koboommnm..

Joat keep your eye out for the brown truck, its on da way,:cheers::cheers:

No...the problem with this thread is the misdirection:

Brad is trying to bring down Stihl
My 372 leaks
Ham-fisted Brad bent a perfectly good rod and, my personal favorite...

I am still waiting for someone to tell me how the saw ran.

Doesn't matter if it runs or not. A Wild Thing runs. That cylinder is a turd.

Tommie,

It's bought, paid for and on it's way to SC. I'll turn it around and send it to Leesburg.

Make a da-vid-ee-ooh. Remember the Doctor Oldsmobile commercials from the late sixties and early seventies. A lab coat, a camera, the cylinder from Brasil, a 260 and you're in Show Bidness Baby. Coming soon to youTube, the "The Cylinder From Brasil" starring the Champ.

PS: Tommie, that cylinder is gratis from ole joat. Just put me in the da-vid-ee-ooh credits.
 
I will eat no crow if that cylinder never fails! I made absolutely zero claims about its performance. There's more to quality than just the performance. I never even started this saw. I don't care how it ran or how it would run if I put this P&C back on it. I don't care if it would run good for 2500 hours. This is a crap casting and is not a mistake or slip of an assemblyer or the mistake of a machinist. This is a deep corporate decision and philosophy to cheapen up on the quality of their product so that they can either make more profit and/or sell more saws.

What makes you think I want to take Stihl down. All I want is to see them continue doing what made them #1. I have a lot of Stihls and love them.

Tom, you are looking out right desperate now. You've resorted to attacking my skills and character while refusing to admit the seriousness of this issue. Twist the facts anyway you want, redirect blame any twisted way you want, the facts still stand. The AS jury has already spoken loud and clear. You're digging your own ditch Tom. You have made this personal, I am simply responding.
 
I can just see nurse tammy fay hall now. He's out looking high and low for any kind of husky defect.

Craigslist AD virgina
Wanted husky saws only with defects will pay any amount. Just please hurry. contact TFhall

Why do you think Tammy fay, will never get that 372 fixed, he never took it in for warranty. Because its the only one he will find like it. He probably sabotaged it himself.
 
G595, don't worry bro, the bar's open at the AS SALOON:cheers:

Chevy my man!!! Good to hear a friendly voice in here, I'll meet ya at the saloon and buy a round, maybe ease the tensions.... I think strippers are in order, if strippers and beer can't resolve this feud, nothing can:cheers:

Well now Eric looks like that cylinder is coming to yours truely. I guess I will finally get to solve the mystery, how does it run. I don't give a hoot in hell what it looks like on the inside, looks doesn't saw wood. I already know its crappy, I'm on the phone with Joat as I type this,LOLOL
 
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

I would submit that Husky took the high road.

Ford's sales took a dump, and I had to pay with my job.

I didn't have much to do with it, but that's the way it works, and I understand that.

But Ford didn't put crap Brazilian cylinders in their F-150s, so I would say they took the high road.

As opposed to steal, which screwed their customers.

Call me a coward if you want, but I'm not sending this P&C to someone to just turn around and make a mockery of me with it. Like I already said, it matters not what this P&C runs like, the comments that I posted stand alone for what they are. I made absolutely no comments about it's performance, yet you're trying to use that against me. Ain't going to happen.
