Hi all,
been a while since I've been on here last and back then I only had a Husqvarna 44. I got the bug and have since bought the following;
Jonsered 535
Stihl 041 AV
Stihl MS290
Stihl 039
I decided to muffler mod the MS290 and 039 even though I've only had them for a week.
So here's my pics:
The muffler before I modded it:
I decided to open up the existing holes:
I then opened them up further:
I then opened up the cover and removed the limiters:
The questions I have are as follows:
1. Has the muffler cover been modified too greatly, should I have done it differently? If so I can get a new cover but how should I do it?
2. I am yet to start up the saw, what initial carb settings should I try?
3. What paint should I use to just give it the once over?
Hopefully will have them both running tomorrow
Thanks
