I'd think that most people can tell that "little yellow friends" is humor, at least that would be to hope for. If you know what I wrote, why do you then claim I wrote something else? The solenoid was obviously not in the ultrasonic, where do you see I said so? Inspecting bearings and cleaning a...

If you look up the definition of retarded, you'll find it to be "less developed than expected for the age". At the age of about 10, people are expected to be able to write a text, on a level where the meaning isn't disturbed by poor grammar. Reading a text and understanding it, is also...

You simply need to learn how to read, before having a go at people. I wrote INSPECT the bearings annually. Whatever you think it sounds like I think, again, learn how to read a text, and keep the female hormones at bay. You don't get too far with reading into what other people write, just to...

The Stihl diagnostics tool is indeed junk, as it has utilized zero of the possible benefits. Yes, I know there are more bearing manufacturers in the world, but the 4 listed accounts for the vast majority of bearings manufactured in the western world, and yes they also produce in China. As for...

Why pay 5 times what it's worth? EDIT: And no, I don't pay 5 times what it's worth, as I have access to them for a fraction of that from the OEM manufacturer, so to me it makes no difference. The topic above was that it was claimed to swap bearings in a 261 would cost $60-80, and it neither...

I wasn't implying it's the dealers that makes a killing, on their proprietary bearings, but rather Stihl themselves. Most people can't get them from F-A-G, as that requires an account with them, or a major distributor, so they're forced to pay 5-6 times the value.

I'd use the word "stupid" about other people, very carefully in your place.

That was autocorrect. Should have spelled F-A-G main bearing $14, and SKF regular bearing. The F-A-G bearing is the one you pay quadruple for from Stihl as OEM. Stihl doesn't make bearings, F-A-G, INA, and SKF makes 99% of the bearings out there, Fafnir makes the rest. I think a lot of people...

We couldn't possibly be more in agreement!

Made in China/Asia

Yes, it's officially for racing. I doubt they actually produces it themselves though.

Stihl Mickey Mouse bearings are manufactured by slacker. I can't recall what I paid for them, but sure nothing close $60. Echo uses standard bearings, cheap and available from SKF. I usually buy C3, they last longer. Seals are seals, OEM or not. Mine are best regards our little yellow friends, never...

Just for the record, it's closer to $25 in parts for maintenance annually, bearings are cheap, under $10 a piece, if bought the right places, seals are even less, and there are really two that matters. I do pressure test hoses, grommets, and the like. Takes seconds to do. Maybe I got a dud, and...

I've learned oil is a very sensitive topic here somehow, but curiosity got the better of me. Some time ago, my local pusher recommended me a new 2 stroke oil (well, they were out of the one from Oregon I used to get), a brand I've never heard of, called Vrooam. More specific, Vrooam VR8. Now...

Even then, you have change between summer and winter setting. I usually tune the saws, when I change the summer/winter setting anyway.
