How can you explain erick pics also. You 24 hours of research doesn't seem to hold up to well. When the crap piston cylinders are coming from steal saws.
 
Tommie, ya forgot Turkey. :D

Of course Mahle is a global company on the rise.... they haven't laied off any workers and In the past ten years alone, increased their sales from EUR 1.9 billion to EUR 5.1 billion, and the number of employees worldwide grew from 21,000 to 48,000.

How could they possibly have made a bad piston/cylinder???? :dunno:










:laugh:
 
Goober give it up. Better yet you prove it isn't, seems Mahle has no problem admitting they are in Brazil and China doing what, producing cylinders and pistons,LOLOL

seems sthil has no problem putting crap in the saws also. You should go back and read timberwolf, tslinger, brad, erick and on and and. Your the one that said it was mahle The proof needs to be with you.
 
1K posts!!!

I wish people didn't give Eddie Anderson crap and run him off. He would be a wealth of knowledge here. Sorely missed by me and many others.


Eddie has entirely too much class and knowledge to hang around a bunch of bullschit like this thread. Seems Lake got sick of it too. Me, I'm the guy who likes to roll in the dirt with the bozo's of the chainsaw world,LOLOLOL
 
I don't have to explain anything Booker, Mahle already did..

Soooo....let me get this straight. When it's in a Stihl saw it's an unlucky anomaly, but because it says Stihl on it and not Mahle, but Mahle makes cylinders in Brazil, all other saws then have crappy cylinders (which, don't forget, could be awesome cylinders if they run)?

Can you say exponential non sequiter?

How do you know they are manufacturing pistons and cylinders in Brazil or China???

Booker your a big ole boy, I've seen your pics, why are you now acting like a pansy, face it ole boy, your clock has been cleaned. My pleasure too,LOL

Yup...Brad found that cylinder in a Stihl, and you found a website saying Mahle makes stuff in Brazil.

I'm having trouble following your logic, so help me out. Does that mean that all chainsaws have cylinders made in Brazil (even though all Stihl saws don't have that cylinder?

Hey Ol boy I know you have never been able to beat the dog. If ya want me to leave ya alone just say so.

Leave, hell no. The dog never leaves the fight, I didn't mean it that way ya knucklehead. I meant admit it, Mahle is putting out ChiCom and you nor me got no idea where they are landing up, thats all. Leave, grrr, I'll chase you to you can't run nomore,LOLOL
 
I have said this once and will say it again, the cylinder looks like hell and no I hope I don't have one that looks like it in one of my saws, but I won't know unless one fails.

What got me was is the way the post was titled and the absurd allegations that have been made.

Nothing personal, I don't know the guy from Adam, but what amazes me is that a guy who was not too long ago asking opinions on his cylinder work, operating with files and a dremel tool is some how the almighty know all, saw guru of the ages, no degree in mechanical engineering, no flow testing of cylinders,etc. He probably does good work, I have know good auto mechanics who were home schooled, but to send a saw to anyone, to have it modified to perform at rpm levels far above what the factory specifies and for what a 2-3 second gain in a piece of wood, hell just buy a bigger saw and have a warranty instead of not knowing exactly what you getting.

I imagine both the guys at Stihl and Husky avoid this type of site just for that reason, their best engineer with years of expierence just couldn't hold a candle to some of the "God's" on this site, both Stihlheads and Huskyheads.
They've played with a few saws and are BY GOD the authority because they have opened a jug up and cranked it up to 15,000 rpms plus and it cuts a ten inch round in the back yard in 2.1 seconds, they don't have to worry about the liability issues, longevity issues or the EPA, good techs like Lakeside and yes even Thall don't mess around with mods, except maybe on their own saw, because they would be breaking the law by doing so, Lakeside stated that in more than one thread. I faced the same crap when working as a executive for a major firearms company, their are more arm chair experts on firearms than on chain saws. Let a gun writer (whore) who was given something for free and suddenly in the next magazine it was the best, don't give them the gun to keep for free it was marginal.

All companies are have new issues that are affecting the bottom line, compliance with the EPA, rising legal cost, smaller markets and yes I imagine we have seen the golden age of saws and regardless of brand we will never see the quality we have enjoyed.

But for one I will take the opinions of experienced saw techs over a enthusiast any day. If the thread was approached in a toned down professional manner, rather than the blatant screaming, know all, beat on the chest, puff up my reputation manner it was, there wouldn't be the 1000 post or all the ruffled feathers. It reminded me of a kid screaming and kicking for attention. He doesn't need to do that he obviously has a following, and probably is a great guy and a good saw mechanic, it was the message or messenger, it was the delivery that was wrong.

That's the real issue IMHO, which means nothing, I'm just a retired guy who cuts a little wood on the farm and helps my teenager cut and sell wood for his gas money and insurance.

And I didn't take it that way. FISH ON LMAO

Exactly. Where ever the hell they usually get their parts from can't keep up they get them from another plant but its the same maker, Mahle out of Brazil, China or the USA, who knows, me I don't care long as it runs.

BTW this thing about Brazil. Was alot of talk about Brazil. The 038Mag was made in Brazil, the TS760, the TS510. Find me better made saws, there aren't any outhere today...
