Hi guys: I’ve got a Stihl MS290 with a 20” Oregon bar on it. I’m using a small Granberg Alaskan chainsaw mill. To date, I’ve been using a regular chain. Unfortunate, I hit a couple 8D nails today and buggered it up. I sharpened it and used it for the rest of the day, but it seems to be dulling...

Great. Thanks Cliff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OK, instead of replacing the carb. I'm going to take one more pass at using the rebuild kit correctly. Cliff - Do the items below look correct for what you describe above? Echo Fuel Filter - A369000480 In stock 25+ available $4.46 $4.46 Shindaiwa Pipe 3X6X100 - V470000691 In stock 6...

Sorry for the barrage of reply’s to myself. This chainsaw has never run really well since I owned it. Always seems to run rich and would bog down when I hit the throttle before running full speed. After 10-15 minutes of usage, it would start working well. I don’t use it that often, more for...

Found this. Will place order and see how it goes. https://www.ereplacementparts.com/carburetor-wt728-p-540441.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s the SN. I was looking for something starting with a 9. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good call Cliff, your right. It’s a limiter cap. This look like a serial number?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guys - am I missing a tube off the bottom of the carb? Also, I noticed a short little orange piece of plastic floating around behind the air filter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I took apart the carb already and don’t think I put it back together properly. At this point, I think I’ll suck it up and just swap out the carb. Any idea where I can find the serial number? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all I tried to rebuild my carb and can’t get it running. Any idea where I can find a new carb or an oem rebuild kit? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been hand filing my saws for years, but can never get them as sharp as when they come back from the shop. This thing gets great reviews and is $30 from HF...seems like it’s worth trying. Any feedback on the ease of use and quality of the job is appreciated. Looks pretty straightforward...

Hi All - I’m looking to make some sort of sled or dolly that I can use to haul logs with my lawn tractor to my splitting and stacking spot. I’m not talking huge logs, maybe +/- up to 18” diameter by 8’ long. I’ve got a couple small wheel barrow size tires I was planning to incorporate. Thoughts...

It did seem like the saw was getting hung up during the cut and not dropping through the log. Sounds like that must have been some flare on the bar. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Trapper - I swung by my local shop and he showed me exactly what you are explaining. The bar was worn from the dull chain. And the cutters were uneven lengths. He tried the bar and sharpened the chain. He also confirmed that my old sprocket was still good and didn’t need to be replaced. I...

Looks like the sprocket was damaged slightly. Not sure if that happens from regular wear or if it was from running the wrong chain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How much does that thing cost? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They’ve got a bar and chain combo on amazon for $40. Just pulled the trigger, will be here in a couple days. Worth a shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll stick with the 325, I’ve never had any issues with it. Any reason not to go with an Oregon bar and chain from HD, versus Stihl OEM? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. Is there a particular advantage to one sprocket’s pitch versus another? Ie, are there advantages to a 3/8” sprocket over a .325 sprocket? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry guys...I feel like a bonehead for posting this. I’ll bring back tomorrow if they are open. I’m sure there will be some pushback since I used it. Fingers crossed they’ll take them back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
