First part, been a lurker for a while.
I've got an MS460 magnum and a MS290, 290 I bought for $50 with a bad top end. While lurking here saw a 390 top end fits. So it should be a 65cc saw. I know my 460 is a different animal but the "390" has no low end and just seems pathetic. Compared to an older 036 its not even in the same area code. I've removed the limiters in the carb and tuned. Still didn't seem like it really has anything for power. Granted I'm comparing it to my 460 with a dual Port, drilled carb and an 036 that's stock. It's a Chinese top end, but are they really that bad? In the cut it takes nothing to stop the chain and doesn't seem to have any bottom end.
Should I get a 390 carb?
