looking to get some parts for a Stihl MS290.
need clutch, etc.
looking at Amazon, Chinese suppliers.
anyone have any luck with any seller in particular, or any to stay away from?
thanks.

Never got them from Amazon but there should be a supplier near you .
Know of 3 within the hour drive of me.

Can you not order parts right online on their website?.

Some times Amazon is not always the cheapest choice you still need to your homework.

We have the prime membership and not all the deals are good deals.

yes there are many Stihl dealers around, but for the price of the parts, it is not worth fixing the saw. they even said the same thing. but I can get the stuff cheap cheap from China off Amazon, so for the cost, i am willing to take a gamble.
was just looking for experiences anyone has had with any particular suppliers.

I get my OEM parts off eBay..1/2 the price of those at the Stihl shops.

Have them shipped to 'The UPS store' across the border and they will sign and hold it for you for $5..

careful buying the whitebox parts made in china..often they dont fit as good as OEM and theres no return policy..

The cheap parts might break as fast as the shipping lol . Always a gamble tho they could work just fine for awhile . Good luck on your search.

yes I am well aware that its a gamble. that's why I was hoping someone has already been through it and can share some advice.

I bought a carb from carbtech21.com

I don't know if they sell the parts you're looking for but I've been running the carb for 5 years with no issues on one of my stihls

thanks I have to check them out.

I buy them off of Amazon all the time. I just bought a carb kit and a Carb for my 026. I carefully inspected the carb looks good don't see an issue. I have purchased sprockets, oil pumps etc. Never had a problem and would not hesitate to buy again. My Uncle in NS who runs a repair shop actually recommends them and has never had an issue.
