Have a 290 converted to 390. Oem top.
Ported, muff mod, timing advance, and popup piston.(yeah lipstick on a pig I get it) anyways....have maybe 15 tanks through it. Cutting ash and maple. I can go through 2 tanks of gas easily before I'm out of oil.currently has a 20in sugihara bar. my bar isn't getting hot or messed up. And there is oil when you lift up the chain but I feel its under oiling compared to about any other saw ive ran. saw seems to run and idle fine cuts great mid to the end of the bar.if you try to rotate around the spikes or even just cut back by the powerhead it bogs down. Also bogs down if you try to cut anything bigger then maybe 12 to 14 inches. Sharp chain properly tightened clean Air filter
After coming out of a larger cut most of the time i have to blip the trigger or it will die..if it dies one pull and it fires right back up with a decent puff of smoke. Lots here know more then me but im thinking the high screw is just too fat? I dont have a tach so I want to be careful.but im thinking Maybe also thats affecting the amount of oil or am i missing something else?use premium gas and stihl brand 2 Stoke oil. Thanks for any advice
