Quote HistoryQuoted: Your post have turned into a cock tease. I expect more pics!!  Whoops, thought you were the other guy, lol.  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Mine took a day to assemble. I had two hiccups. 1) The original case was a short shot and had a void. They sent me a new one and it took a month to arrive. 2) During the assembly process, I noticed the wrist pin was too long. Probably the wrong part, but I carefully chucked it in the lathe and turned it down with carbide tooling. That thing was probably 50-55 Rockwell C. You'll need a crank puller tool set and a piston ring compressor. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/130046/20221008_135958-2593020.jpg https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/130046/20221007_192412-2593022.jpg Your post have turned into a cock tease.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Great pics, thanks for those. Your opinion on OEM vs China made ? EDIT: Would you recommend any oem parts to use in a China build ? Carb, aftermarket piston, etc.. @Rock_Ranger OEM is better quality, hands down. I've worked in manufacturing for a long time, and there are many little details that make a Stihl saw great. Stihl will always be my primary saw. That said, reproducing engines is something China does a decent job at. The quality difference is in the details. (Like the short shot on my die cast case) The Farmertec saws are good for a secondary or mill saw, something you can afford to have break down. I would only recommend you buy one of you are familar with how saws work and go together. I needed to debur and file parts to improve the fit and finish. Minor stuff, things that should have been done during the final stages of mfg, but would effect final assembly. (My brake did not work right because the dies that stamped it were wore out and it left a nasty burr on the edge. Had to file it off.) Some people use OEM parts in the build. I did this for fun, so I used all the provided parts and with a little work, everything went together fine and fired right up faster than expected. |

One additional point, I really hate all the new EPA features on newer saws like fixed oilers and limited adjustment on the carbs. The clone saws are all older designs with fully adjustable carbs and real chain oilers. The only Stihl that was truely a disappointment was an edger I was given because it didn't run right. The carb was 100% non-adjuatable, couldn't even change idle speed. I replaced it with a Chy-na carb and it ran amazing. |

The oiler is set at the MINIMUM rate that the older MS 290s could deliver. It sucks. I bought a spare oiler pump to figure out how to re-engineer it for more flow. Hint, it's not easy. Also the newer saw carbs have limiters on the adjustment screws. Most of the time you can break them off if you need more adjustment. It's sad, the 291 is not some joe blow homeowner saw. It sits in the middle between homeowner crap and the pro saws. I've thought about selling it for an older 290, but it actaully runs better, just has a shit oiler. In retrospec, I wish I had bought a MS 261, but I didnt know better at the time. |

Once you get a Stihl pro saw, you understand why. Not a pro feller.
Yesterday - my neighbor came over saying he got two saws stuck in a tree that was down, so I was like ok, do you need a third saw? I said don't cut the compression again, start cutting further down to take the weight off and cut the tension side. He thought I was speaking greek. He then ignored my suggestion and started pinching my saw (the third saw) but luckily was able to yank it out without bending the bar. I haven't pinched a bar in years, but I did let go of my 261 and as the tree fell it kicked and put a hole in the mag case. That tree was all kinds of sktechy, 16-18 inch beech snapped halfway up hung up in a Y of another tree at 90 degrees. I ran for my life without the saw when it started going. Like that remix with, oh lord jesus it's a fayr. |

They had a pile of hte bags, could have been just they wanted to move them since the cutting season is about over perhaps with snow in the forecast. My kids were running around the yard with the gear on like they were darth vader. The ear muffs are a bit tight. Could just be new and needs breaking in. It is all plastic, helmet is comfy enough. Chaps clip on so that is neat, easy on easy off. |

He said the Farm type saws weren't worth the extra expense. |

Maybe this winter. |

I feel like an ass. Had 2 people ask me to borrow my saw this morning and turned them down.
I have never had good luck lending out tools of any sort and not about to test that luck today. |

If I was living in a place where that wasn't a thing I would have a beater loaner saw for junk like that. |

If family (that I like) or really good friend then I will go help them, but not a big loan out guy. |

Pays to have an old loaner. I heard a lot of chainsaws have been shipped to Florida for cleanup. People that have never held a chainsaw are buying them regardless of price. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Never was a fan of Nixon. LOL My post was in jest, it's just how things naturally progress here. You know, like somebody looking for advice about airguns with a budget of $200. What is cool about saws is even the low budget ones can be upgraded. Not everyone needs a pro saw but all saws could use a muffler mod. |
