3rd tank of gas 290 cuts like a different saw. Ring must have set.

Open up the muffler now and smile.....

Just curious:

What length bar are you running?
What chain pitch: 3/8 or .325 ?

 

[mini kahuna]

it is surprising how saws "wake up" after a few tanks through them.
I don't think you have full power at 3 tankfuls,you will pickup more power yet.:greenchainsaw:

 

[smilin possum]

You ain't seen nothing yet. We got three of um, open up that muffler and retune the carb. and stand back and hang on.

 

[smokinj]

yep sometime you wonder why you paid so much for it and then it just comes alive!:greenchainsaw:

Yeah got about 10 tanks through my 357 now and it doesnt want to spin so easy without the decomp pushed in now...good sign....running like the devil!

I picked up a 290 Saturday. Just started my third tank this evening. It does seem to be runnin' a bit better than it was last night... I was getting a bit nervous about the purchase till I did some reading here. I swear I've been on this site the better part of the last 24 hours just reading

I just noticed I'm supposed to be runnin' 89 octane in the new saw though :censored:

I'll start using mid-grade on my next mix. I use Shindaiwa oil 50:1 in all my trimmers and other old junky saws, so I'm using it in the new saw as well.

Just bought a FleaBay muffler. Figured I'd keep the stock one "stock" I guess.

I'll cut one up and see what she's got later in the week
