Sweet... So next time you make some scathing remarks on a product to a person who obviously has no experience with it, I won’t comment, and sit back and watch that person accept your opinion...
Perhaps next time you will identify what you take issue with instead of a blanket "that's ridiculous" to a person's entire post.
Goodness knows... You must be correct of course...
Yes, my post about MY experience with OS and ST is correct. They were after all, MY experiences. I really don't understand why you are getting so huffy about me documenting my experiences.
Re-read your post... You basically said of all the ST engines you have had; you have not had one you have successfully used.
Actually, I suggest YOU re-read my post because you think you read something I did not say. I said I found them to be "too much trouble", and "less reliable" wrt OS. I stand by those words. You can disagree, and perhaps you've had different results, but that does not change my experience.
Yet the engines have been around for 50 years... Someone must enjoy them? I presume...
How often have you read comments along the lines of "ST can be very finicky for adjustments"? These were not my words, but I read them here in RCU yesterday. I've seen, and have been hearing, similar comments about ST for a long time. My current fleet has engines from OS, K&B, Webra, and Thunder Tiger. None of these have given me as much trouble as I had with ST. If you've had different experiences with ST, by all means post them.
I did not mean to offend you... But “With all Due Respect” of course...
I don’t think your statements where constructive...
You don't think posting REAL experiences with OS and ST is constructive? Interesting.
I don't think it's constructive to respond with a comment like "that's ridiculous" without an explanation of what you take issue with. It just leads to misunderstandings.
I don't think it's constructive to get all hot and bothered when someone provides additional information to help you understand why a person makes an engine decision on more than just price. This was after all something you asked about.
You posted about buying based on price. I provided some other things that people consider when buying an engine, and some comments on my experience with the 2 brands. Why did that bother you so much that you are now bordering on being insulting to me?
Sorry... No pretentious Chinese proverb to add...
Well, you were the one who brought up China. I thought it might help you understand that I don't have an issue with Chinese products. I've actually got a bunch of Chinese ARFs in the shop and engines from several Chinese companies.
Can we get back to the (real) discussion now?
