Tomorrow will be 8 weeks since a wet noodle sawmill beam was returned to the manufacturer.
Anyone care to guess when I might see the replacement, if ever?
*Edit* And, yes, Neil, I should have listened to you. I like how you haven't said "I told you so", so I probably should acknowledge your good advice I didn't take and resolve to take it if there is ever a next time.

I know some of the members here like to race the old Huskys, and I believe the cylinder kits for the 2100 are getting hard to find?....... I just stumbled across this on ebay!
It aint cheap though.

I won't do that mate, its hard to know what to do sometimes and we all hope they ''the manufacturers'' will stand by their customers.
Luckely for me i have been in buisnis long enough to know what to look for and who to talk to in regard to selecting new machinery, funny how the timber industry is a world wide industry yet small enough to know people from different countries.
The thing i have learned the hard way is listen to salesmen but do not beleive everything they say, let them prove their product in the work place by way of a paid demonstration ''at least 1 days work'', then make the final decision.
my example, when i looked into my 1st Mahoe, i asked the aust rep to bring one onsite and work for me for a day or so cutting my orders with my fuels ect which in turn i offered to pay him for his time. I did not pay a deposite on the machine in which Mahoe said no to, in the end they agreed to sending me a new mill not payed for overseas on condition after the trial payment was made in full. They stuck their neck out because they knew their product would do my work, the aus rep picked it up from the brisbane docks, delivered it to me and set it up.
After the usual pre delivery checks / instructions ect we loaded the 1st log and i showed him the cutting list and said go for it. The rep was no saywer by any means and realy was very basic in his ability but he could drive the machine and set it up correctly and actually enjoyed the experiance of cutting an actual order.
How in your case they '' the manufacturers'' handled your situation i don't know but from your private disscussions with me it seemed they were convinced you were at fault and not their product. A simple onsite visite from them or their representative would prove either way the outcome after an hours work.
Thankfully there are buisnis mediators that can help resolve these matters and althow no one wants to envolve them sometimes they need to be.
I hope your case resolves soon.

yes your correct, and yes they are in demand, pitty that doesn't have a new set of thin rings to go with it and a clear view into that cylinder, the piston looks ok, someone will snap it up.
Just checked, rings are included, complete kit is NOS......Would cost around $330- shipped to Oz.
Turns out the blokes a AS member.

Yeap, up to 15mm of beam sag, having to double pass most cuts that are wider than 2" to avoid bounce, beam extension joins that creep over time, etc are all user errors and not piss poor product engineering, design or manufacture. Heck, it's more than user error, it's slander by an ungrateful shmuck who never tried to resolve matters in private but who instead went public and showed the world doctored videos and slanderous and corrosive lies for no reason other than because he has nothing better to do with his time, really enjoys the phucking drama, and rejoices in showing the world how at least one Kiwi manufacturer does business and looks after their customers.
Like you say Neil, insisting on a trial, not trusting the salespeople, etc, before parting with the cash would have to be the only safe way to proceed. Lessons learned.

Got asked by a mate to tune his saw, never again 
It's blown a chunk of cylinder gasket, idiot me thinking it might just need a carby kit. Oh well least it finally made me buy a proper vacuum tester, the crank seals ain't leaking so should I just leave them be?

Probably another user of cutty cutty longtime chain. When will people realise it will overpower even strong saws if they are not careful? Whatever the rebuild entails, please, put something soft like stihl chain on it. Also, if you can find a 50t press, you can break the cutty chain into individual links and sell each one on ebay to more than cover the cost of the saw work. A win/win.

Ain't no guru of nuthin'
I bought one of those individual cutty cutty links, ground down the driver and used it as a joiner on two 1/4 chains - now I run a 24" bar on my t150 and it cuts like a 661. Expensive sure, but cheaper than porting and no one will guess as I don't have a sticker.

For the greater good, the ones I didn't re-purpose as a timing belt in my ute, were donated to charity aid organisations. I got a tearful note from an East Temorise Emergency UN field surgeon thanking me for the chain link that now powers their mobile operating apparatus and has saved many lives. Then there was the aid worker in some famine-ravaged dust bowl somewhere (so many I have helped I can't recall which one), who travelled 12 days on foot to the only working internet connection to video skype me her thanks. I only wish there was more cutty cutty chain to give. So many humanitarian disasters, so few chain links.

Gee that is excessive, have you sought legal advise to procede with a fair settlement, perhaps gone on to long now for a favourable out come. You may be stuck with it now. I wonder have you shown a separate engineer the beam, just for an unbiast aprasial and perhaps he could come up with a measure to strgnthen your beam. (i know you shouldn't have to but just so you can at least do work with it .
I know 1 timberman who will not be considering product from that manufacturer in the future.
