And climbing! :chainsaw:
 
Well...???

What's the word on this? Or did fpc post the resolution in another thread?
 
Nevermind....

I'm still learning some of the capabilities on this board. I see his last post was to this thread on 4-25, so I guess I've answered my own question.:bang:
 
Multiple choice question...what will we see if/when we get a look at the piston?

Gotta be choice 'D."

This is seeming more and more like another miserable turd of a troll thread...
 
Hmmmm.... I work at a Stihl Dealer and we would have shown you the damage. I would call Stihl and let them know what happened and they may have the dealer ship the saw to the regional distributor. I have seen saws with similiar "issues" and either the customer or I will call Stihl. We always figure something out.
 
I'm new around here, and this was a long thread to read. Funny enough, I had read this while waiting for my registration to be approved.

When I first started to read it, I was siding with fpc310, even though it seems as though folks were dog-piling on top of him...it seemed he was giving the dealer the nod to try and resolve his issue.

However, towards the end of this long thread, he sure turned into a wet noodle...I mean, he goes out and buys another Stihl which he stated he wouldn't do, and leaves his other 290 in another shop to be looked at, yet doesn't have any info, says the dealer won't give him any, and he has to wait. And on top of that, he lays on some story about working his fingers to the bone to get bloody fingers, and disappears.

Hard to keep siding for a wet noodle like that, IMO...but the thread is good for entertainment...:popcorn:

Cheers,
TT

I thought he had told his story, and hasn't it been like over a month now since it all began for HIM? :chainsaw:

We never got to find out, as the late Paul Harvey used to say, "the rest of the story".

All we know is that the dealer suggested a lean seize, which ticked him off so much that he would never buy another Stihl product except for the one he bought a few days later.

We never got the official diagnosis, so it's stihl he said, he said.
 
Well ? FPC ? Here is your open call ! What's up ? Any word yet ? All of us who tried to help are waiting ! Even if they say it was you who wrecked your saw, we will do our best to help you find a solution !:)

....it was a dark and stormy night, and ......

What fun, to be offline for weeks, turn on AS and what ? The same ole same ole. Stihl needs stimulus and order. FPC will be Czar.
So WTF finally happened ? If you don't tell, I will go back offline in the hole again. Be warned.

I'm waiting for him to give, as edisto says, "the rest of the story". As I said, I was supporting him when I read the first part of the thread, but it's hard to keep believing in something that seems fishy...

An old Italian saying, "dead fish stinks from the head". I'm not Italian, but I think it might be fitting...

What's that fish reference concerning relatives . . . "relatives are like dead fish . . ."

Fish, I don't know you but you cannot be that bad? :cheers:
