Hot rod a saw or not?

Spend some time in a gym pumping weights. Say 6 months or more.

You'll be amazed at how that can make a saw feel many pounds lighter.

It simply isn't worth that to have to run a ms290 & it sure wont make it a better saw.

The fastest most effective mod that's often overlooked is a properly sharpened blade. If you want a saw to cut like a light saber start here.

If you got it, spend it! Get like a brandy new 60 cc pro saw, and immediately have it ported.

Take what that cost, go ten (figure you will want it for at least a decade casual use) times 365, now divide into the cost. How much a day is that? Pocket change! Not even one dollar.

Compared to other fun outdoor stuff, any sort of motorsports or fun sport, chainsaws are pretty cheap, even super nice ones that have been worked on.

Get rid of it and get a better saw.
