The local Stihl dealers have left a bad taste in my mouth.
Dad's 026 would bog down in the cut. We fiddle-farted around with needle adjustments and didn't get anywhere. Decided it needed a carb kit.
He went to the "best" Stihl dealer in the area, and they sold him the WRONG kit. He went back with the saw in hand to get the right kit, but the guy kept waiting on other customers.
Frustrated, he took it to the "second best" Stihl dealer in the area. Their mechanic put the carb in some "sonic cleaner" for a while, then put it back on the saw. "Gee, all it does is flood out," was his diagnosis. All he wanted to do was sell Dad a new carb to the tune of $175. "We don't rebuild carbs," he said.
After hearing this I'm pi$$ed. I go on ebay, get a $10 Walbro carb kit (free shipping), installed the needle, diaphragm, and reed valves. Now the saw runs PERFECT. 20 minutes of work, $10 out of pocket cost.
