Ms290 why do so many hate it?

Just got a Husky 350 in today. Owner said he's done with it because the muffler bolts keep coming loose. I asked how he was tightening them. He said, "Well, they get hot, so I just thumb tighten them and keep on cutting. I don't carry an Allen wrench with me to the field. Thumb tight should work, right?"

The saw has good compression and started without a hitch. Very few hours on it. I said, "Tell you what, I'll give you $180 for it today. He said, "Sold."

I now have a very nice saw that I added to my collection. One of my friends dropped $450 for a new Husky 353 awhile back.

Edwin, are you gonna put the one legged 353 bracket on it?
