Does anyone know if the 070/090 cylinder and piston kits fit the contra range? I have a lightning with a damaged exhaust port and wondered if I could just buy a new pot n piston, or would I need to repair the port Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

As I said when they first came out, computers on saws are a bad idea, you only need to look at an ecu on a car or lorry, when they work, they're good, my saw is great, but I don't think that after 2 years of knocks, weather and fuel they will last, more over, can they go in an ultrasonic cleaner?

You're talking about standards 50 years ago, I'm sure even modern china can match that Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

May be identical, but if it was given the Mitchell's name it's a fake, leave off the brand name, hell, even whack your own on, and it's perfectly legal, so you could have a Stubby's mark 3 spitfire, or a Stubby 070, but as it is the OEM brand name, it's fake Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

No, it wouldn't be a Mitchell's, same as these stihls, they aren't made by stihl, they might be reproduction parts made in the stihl china factory, but they aren't signed off by stihl, it's what copywrite is all about Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

It's the same as a 2 stroke, the fuel lubricates the crank and cylinder, but it fires on every other rotation like a 4, with the valves and cam controlling the engine Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

But if you do the refresher YOU are up to date AND have more experience! I will refresh in another few years and I will foot the bill, why? Because I will be up to date, I hope they do it like the UA tickets, where you refresh the highest one, but I doubt they will, but it won't bother me, because I would still need to do 32, 38 and 39 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App -
Yup, TCD has much better alternatives to a new 261 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I dunno, I've often been tempted to see if I can get a saw sticking out of a crap groundy Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Well the choice is yours, 4 out of how ever many on here plus your person, but on that note, I own a 560xp, people have problems with those, and 550's, and stihl 261's and 362's, others still buy them knowing there could be problems, that's what warranty is for Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
