Crappy Stihl Cylinder - Looks like ChiCom Garbage!!!

[THALL10326]

I guess you missed it then. Probably way back now. you answered my first one about installing a cheaper cylinder for the same price, by dancing around nicely, saying its not necessarally a cheaper cylinder, and you didn't know so couldn't answer.

I then asked if you thought it was fair to install a lower quality cylinder on some of the saws and charge the same price.

Awww ok. Fair, no. There is one price list I order by. If what comes out the box does not look good I don't use it. However Parris you do realize when companies buy from others its ususally because its cheaper to buy them than make them, you do know that don't you??

Yes I do know that.

To me, in the end it doesn't matter to me who made it, as long as its good quality. I dislike anything that comes from China, weather its good or not. I just don't like seeing everything go overseas these days.

I think this thread started off a little wrong. Just allot of bustin chops going around. I think I've had enough of this thread, its sucking the life outa me. I've now wasted numerous hours, at least two nights ++++. Good night all. I'm gona try to stay away. But its like a freaken train wreck.

Tom, you've lost your good nature on this thread. I think it's time to take a break. No need to get ugly.

Now how many times now is that, you've brought that up. Like a broken record player.

No I didn't Space, think Gypo, you remember that Space. Parris crossed the line, that was low, it deserved the exact repsonce I gave. No biggie but mom on mothers day, in a scrap over a cylinder, get real..

Good post Spike but slimy is a strong word so I will counter do you think re-labeling products is a slimy practice too? Is it not deicieving to buy something you think is a Husky when it is not??

Geez Tommy, I was going to shut this thing off and go to bed, but I can't run and hide from your question, so naturally I will respond, and more directly than you might. LOL

Yes! I do think it's a slimy thing to do, and I hate those saws and never sell them. (I assume we are talking 136/141 and related models, right?) But truthfully, Husky doesn't just re-label them. They take the basic engine, and surround it with nicer parts, but it's the old lipstick on a pig trick IMO. I freely tell people that I don't stock or sell them because thay are nothing more than orange Poulans. I really don't like the way they sound; even when they are running as good as they get, they never sound better than just OK.

I feel the same way about the new 235/240. As soon as you pick one up, without even starting it, my first reaction is: They've got to be kidding.

So, just because it's orange, doesn't mean it meets my standards, and if it doesn't, it's not welcome in my store.

What about you? There are some things at the bottom of Stihl's line up that are nothing to be proud of. Do you sell them? Do you believe that everything they make is OK as long as it has Stihl written on it?

I'm not talking about Parris Tom. I'm not talking about saws either.

 

[THALL10326]

:agree2:

You agree, really?

Dude, you get real, I didn't say anything untowards about your mother. In fact I didn't say anything about your mother.

So you take rifles apart do you, now your on a subject I will be happy to call you out on, now exactly how do you improve their performance, got a lathe or a mill in house , if not, don't even bother replying, you just take them apart mess with the trigger, stock work, if your not truing the action, barrel, squaring the lugs, lapping them in, resetting head space, installing a after market trigger, I could go on and on, it's just like pulling the cylinder to "clean up the ports a little" you really haven't done crap other than satisfy your own curiosity.

Not recommending a Stihl entry level saw because they are junk or won't stand up to the abuse of a modder, Dolmar didn't meet Brad' requirements, don't believe he tried a entry level husky, wound up with a Red Max, most OPE saws aren't meant to crank 15k, metal fatigue and stress cause failure.
I remember reading before the failure the 180 was a heck of a little saw, even watched vids of it screaming as it was used trimming, then it came unwound, what a piece of crap, if it was modded would it still be running, more than likely.

People on this post like to have it two ways or whatever fits there position at the time. Maybe the moderators will cut the modding threads out since it is contributing to an illegal activity and not allow that type of sponsorship to exist, if they were stand up guys they would.

Fair enuff Spike, just wanted to see if you was gonna be square and as always you are. I don't think much of that cylinder Brad found either but I'm not gonna worry about it. I'll sell many more 260's and never give that one a thought. I never thought much of the 009, hated the 019T and I don't like working on the 200T. Even so business is business and you know as well as me you got to have something to sell or your outta business,
