OK, here she is FINALLY. I had a decent (not cracked) set of flattop 290 plastic, so I decided to use that and sand the 029 super stuff later. Still waiting on the Stihl emblem for the starter.
That doesn't look stock.
Pulls 18" 3/8 chain just fine. Sadly, I had to strip it down a second time. One of the crank bearings was just a bit growly. For $10 I couldn't send it away knowing it was messed up. Once I got it running, it was a biotch to tune, and stalled frequently at idle. I thought seals were bad. Press/vac test was very good though. Turns out that the coil was failing. New coil and it runs like a champ.
