? It's still there isn't it?
Dealer put new seals in.. I did when i rebuilt it, but pretty sure I either damaged one or because they were cheap C#ina junk, they took a chit?? Dont know.. I know it seemed to run great, then when it got in the cut, powerless, completely powerless...
So I didnt want to risk it again. OEM seals and it runs good. They tuned it and everything. Its now my only Stihl that "Pops" on the very 1st pull. No joke.. Starts on the 2nd
Unfortunately the OPE aftermarket parts industry isn't nearly as robust as the automotive counterpart. Usually you sacrifice quality or performance for price. I'm very picky about what parts I will use for a given application. Filters and other consumables, usually aftermarket. Engine parts almost always are OEM. I've found generic machine parts like pulleys are fine but often OEM belts are more than worth the cost. (Especially for Deere.) They make a lot of parts that will work or fit fine but just are not the same as OEM. I'm betting that saw would've run just as good had you used OEM seals when you built it.
I don't even think a new 026/MS260 popped on the first tug. Electric fuel pump on yours?
Well, I got the 028 AV today in the mail.....
Wow.. This thing LOOKS 100% Better than it did on FleaBay ............................
Saw your ad for your saw today...................... , it was sad sitting there all alone without its friends....................
Very nice but I prefer the muscle machines; Stihl MS 460 Mag. Lost my Stihl 038 Mag from the back of my truck when the tail gate broke. Sick over it. Prefer Stihl over Husq any day although have both. Husq 3120XP, Husq 372 XP but Stihl is smoother. For the small stuff I use light saws and I am constantly fixing them. Good luck with your new one.Well, I stopped by the local Stihl dealer today...... I went in for a couple little Knick Knacks
I wound up getting a MS 170..... I would have had a go at the 250 or 180, but the Toolless B&C adjustment I am not a fan of!?!? At all..... My Neighbor has a 250 with the toolless adjustment, and I am not a Fan at all.......
My 028 WB should be here soon (tomorrow?) ?
I'm pretty sure I am done for awhile now. I don't want to take Boog's Crown!
