OK Brad I think I get it now. I have read this whole thread and aren't you saying?
"On this site it should be from each, according to his ability and to each, according to his needs"
Hummmm, haven't I heard that somewhere before?

Arrogance? Call it what you want. Other than the owners, I have invested more than most into this site. I care about what goes on here. I don't want to see this place return to the days of builder wars. It's a MUCH more enjoyable place when we all work and share together. That's how we learn, and pass the torch on to the next. No this isn't my site, but it is what we make of it. I'm simply doing my part to help see that this site stays a place that openly shares in this hobby we all enjoy.

I'm not arrogant, I'm just the most important.

You're funny. :D

To be on topic: Is the issue with the accelerator pump or is it in another portion of the carb?

Well since other current HDs do not seem to have the same issue I would blame the issue on the design of the pump as applied to the carb. The fact being that you can bypass the pump and solve that issue being what seals the deal for me. In terms of ALL the problems being caused by the actual pump mech, NO that would be an oversimplefication. If you strip the carb all the way done, remove EVERYTHING that can be removed you may be able to "repair" a low hour carb. However, you will still have a carb that will do the exact same thing that caused it to fail the first time.

I disagree, wanker. We are discussing Japanese lemons not Efcos, stay on topic or at least post pictures of fat chicks and stuff.

Oh, yeah the best fix for a 359 is to buy a Stihl 361 then all you have to replace is coils. However since they are all gone and Stihl f-it hard with the 362 the best fix is to buy a 441.

And therein lies the rub...this is a hobby to me and you Brad, and probaly the vast majority of folks that will be reading this thread. However to Scott it is his livelyhood, his job, his living.....and that right there is difference between us and him. As someone who has been selfemployed for the last 26 yrs, I can tell you, you not only have to live by your knowledge but your witts as well. I too would like to know the answer to this question however I am in no way irritated by a businessman who has the answer and simply won't "give" it to me...$25.00 is a pitance to pay for knowledge you do not possess, as opposed to $50.00 for a Chinese carb, in my opinion. I've already been the $50.00 route !! LOL!!
 
I hear what you're saying, but in this case, I still disagree. Look at Mastermind, for example. Just like myself, he had been one to share a LOT. It certainly hasn't hurt his business. If anything, it's made it. He does this for a living too, and last I knew, had a couple week back log.

MAYBE it's because he likes to share and it promotes his business.... just like you do. He's promoting his business.... isn't he?

Your porting business requires tools and knowledge, people buy because they don't have the tools and don't have the knowledge. His is the same thing.... a carb kit and the knowledge.

Your either buying or not........ this is America and your supposed to find that one spot know one else has occupied..... and he's selling the only one. I teach Electronic Marine Navigation and there are only a couple people in the world that do what I do.... EXACTLY TWO!

Sounds like he's cornered the market and I can hear the $$$ and when I need a 199 or whatever it is fixed... I know who to call!

That's where you're wrong. Randy and I do share our knowledge, as well as MANY others. How do you think he and I both learned? We both learned from those that were willing to share. We both have more work than we can handle.

The difference being Mastermind isn't getting his panties in bunch because someone isn't doing what he wants.

As far as having more work than you can handle, it seems someone asked you to fix a carb and told them you could but you can't and you can't handle that reality.

My point still stands. IIRC, they have had words, but that has nothing to do with my points validity. And by the way, nothing could be further from the truth about the carb. I have a spare 199 carb here and have never told anyone I could fix it. If I could fix it, I was possibly going to put it on my Dads saw. Talk about jumping to conclusions! That really gives you a lot of credibility.
 
You are correct about the knowledge, its out there if your willing to read and dig and go the distance to discover, or get off your lazy butt.... except this one time. From reading all 8 pages of this :cry:thread, he seems to be the only one with this knowledge.

You forgot to add the fact know body else has put forth the effort to discover what he knows.....

Thanks for sharing, he doesn't want too....... competitive business was founded on exactly that concept, I've got something you don't and the right to sell it to anybody willing to pay for it. Think McDonald's is complaining to Wendy's about hamburgers because there's are square patties. Hell no, McDonald's burgers save money because there round, less meat and Wendy's thinks they have the market cornered because of the corners they don't cut......

So I believe your answer is ... I'm not buying? Good for you.
