.....not to mention the thicker than usual skin requirement when posting- Down there....
I trip around to Chainsaw, Milling, and now I'm prolly heading over to Carving room because I need to.
But I like Firewood room mostly-ish, anyway.
Send me a pm if you need the IPL and FSM for the 290. Between the two, you can do everything you need. Finding the commone troubleshooting is easier over in Chainsaw, but the fact of the matter is, that 290 is a good saw, and pretty simple. Most all are anyway, but dang, ripping one apart in 45 minutes is easy. Don't be shy. IF its broke, fix it.
