ms291

So I've been using a chainsaw for about 3 years now (ever since buying a home with 10 acres of woods as a backyard :)). I absolutely love everything about cutting and splitting wood, sooo relaxing. I started with a Poulan 4218, then Poulan PR5020. I finally got tired of the Poulans bogging down...

I currently own a ms 291 and looking to upgrade to a Pro saw. I have been looking at the ms362. I know the ms 291 is 55cc while the 362 is 59cc... Is there a noticeable difference in power or should wait and go bigger into the 70cc range? thanks

Google hasn't been friendly to my search, thus I figured I would ask the forum. I went to clean my air filter today and found that I only have 2 of the 3 screws. Does anybody have the part number? Thanks -Jason
