    MS390 hard to start when cold

    The old boy down the road gave me a pretty good tip when he noticed that my right arm was 2" longer from pulling my MS310 one day. His saw is the MS390 as well and all he does is keep a spray bottle handy with the proper fuel mix and pulls off the orange cover, gives it two or three...

    ya ever throw your saw?

    Good eye Al, your right any missing bolt on the wrap handle for sure is a safety issue. Thanks for the heads up. I will grab a nice shiny stainless bolt from the shop tomorrow and plug that hole. Just a dab of blue lock tight should keep it in place. Not sure if you've ever run a Homelite...
