Thats Awesome... well done!

Okay would you put it around the crank seals? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay too my surprise the MityVac arrived today and boy is it ever a nice tool! I did a test threw the impulse line and I think I can do a better job sealing it up... It did hold a vacuum but not for as long as I've read others have achieved... The good news is the the Cut up ATV tire did a...

Okay so When I originally started the full rebuild I was very sceptical that I was going to actually be able to get it to run at all now that I know I am capable of doing this I think I might completely redo the oil seals and head gasket. I used Permitex MotoSeal 1. It did seem to work just fine...

Got the intake side sealed nicely now time for the exhaust! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay well I ended up ordering a MityVac pressure and vacuum pump with gauge and a more oil seals just in case there is a leak/damaged seals. I guess todays project is figuring out how to seal the intake and exhaust. I've seen it done with inner tubes but i don't have any around but I do have a...

Okay I saw another one made by Mityvac that would definitely work but it was on the pricey side... I think I will go ahead and get it And run a test and go from there. Thanks!

Okay This one says it "Bleeds brakes, tests vacuum switches and removes fluids" should this work? Thanks! https://www.kmstools.com/performance-tool-vacuum-pump-kit-147264

Honestly Im very surprised I got it Running at all. I inherited it seized from my father so I figured I would not be making it any worse by trying to fix it up! Plus it was a great learning experience. What would you use to do a vac test?

Okay Will do! I will buy a vac tester and a tachometer and then get back to work on it. Your advice is greatly appreciated!

This is a full rebuild and my first rebuild. I didn't do a vac test just because I don't have the tools... I ended up having to take off the carb and handle/top cover to get the line back on. The saw is running and sounds fine to me but I still want to get a tachometer. How important is it to do...

Okay I found the issue... At some point the impulse line came off the crankcase... Thats pretty embarrassing! I am thinking about buying a tachometer to do A more precise Tuning because I really don't trust myself too much. Any recommendations?

Okay thank you! I will Try this tomorrow and post a update!

Hey, I recently put a new jug and piston in my MS290 I also rebuilt the carb. I tried starting it today and it fired up first pull but than died when I gave it gas (this was in the run position). The spark arrester is clean and the saw has 40-1 mix. limiter caps are still on it. Any Help would...
