Did I overheat or damage my new Stihl?

[Wood Doctor]

Yep, just the first step to CAD On a side note, I have been renting a pair of 290's out of the rental dept. of my business for four years. Neither have had a single engine or carb related issue in that time and they have been beat to hell for all those years. I honestly don't think I will be replacing them any time soon.

+1. Another good testimony for the MS 290 Farm Boss. Mine runs perfectly. Sure, my MS 361 will deliver another horsepower for the same weight, but sometimes I say, "Frankly, my dear I don't give a ____." There has to be a reason why the MS 290 has outsold all other saw models that Stihl makes.

CAD? Chainsaw addiction disease?

Today, I sharpened the chain, cleaned the air filter, and tuned the carb (no muffler mod yet), but it seemed to tune best at the stock settings, so that is where I left it. It really does run great, like my two other Stihl machines. Thanks guys, for all your help.

I think I am now on the hunt for a larger project Stihl, that I can resurrect and tune, for those huge trees I want to cut. Plus, I have begun ordering parts to rebuild the old poulan, for light limbing work.

Yep, I have caught yet another disease....

No doubt caused by CO2 emissions by your evil, polluting two stroke engines. This contributed to man made climate change. I know it's true, Al Gore said so and I read it on the internet.

That's why you're supposed to keep with the times... It's not global warming anymore, it's now "climate change" that way they can have it both ways and claim success in either instance... :hmm3grin2orange::help:
