imitation sthil chainsaws and parts

[tuco1963]

hi all
while on ebay i ran across an imitation sthil from china made by emas they also make rebuild kits for the older sthil saws 031-?
has anyone heard if theese are decent parts i would love to rebuild an old 038 or 04? for a monster saw since theese saws are really resonable now

I live in a 1959 ranch house, a few years ago the basement flooded because the plumber installed a water supply valve that was made in Taiwan. The valve had a large pit in the valve seat causing the leak. Fortunately I found a valve manufacturer in Novi, Michigan, they make a great product. Would I put Chinese parts in my Stihl? No Way! Well maybe an air filter.

I know they look orange and white. The ones I saw were a far cry from any STIHL I've seen. Even the older ones. They make knock off Honda dirt bikes for kids too, would not buy one.
