2009年11月28日 · Well, after reading lots of posts here, and making a few posts concerning a new saw, and getting lots of good feedback from you guys, I pulled the trigger and bought a new tried and true Stihl MS 290 Farm Boss. Here's a brief video: Stihl MS 290 - YouTube Until now, the only saw I've ever tried, used, or owned, was my little Stihl MS 170.

2012年2月26日 · over here in AUS the MS 290 came out standard with 3/8 7 spur sprocket and 18" bar. looking at the IPL they list .325 8 and .325 7 as optional rim sprocket kits but i then checked and they superseded to .325 9 as they all moved from the smaller 13mm bearing to the larger 16mm and my guess would be there wouldn't be enough meet on it to run any smaller …

2008年4月3日 · Ive never owned a 270,but I have owned 2 280s.For an extra $45,buy the 280.More power than the 270 and faster chain speed than the 290.Less weight than the 290 to.As far as the quick chain adjuster goes,it does ok.I pinched my 361 with the QCA and couldnt get the bar and chain off because I couldnt budge the adjuster wheel.But with the tool less fuel and oil …

2016年5月18日 · a quick question for those in the know. I have been cleaning up a ms 290 and checking the settings. My tach says the saw is idling at 3-4k rpms and is between 13.6-14k rpms at wot. The owners manual for the saw, also from 2011 (copyright), lists 2800 and 13,500 rpms. It lists the ms 310, 390 at a max of 13,000.

2013年1月20日 · The last 290 I worked on listed 1/4 turn low, 3/4 turn high... ya right, bogged when you pulled the throttle. Did my standard 1 turn each, to start, I think the low needed 1 1/8, and I tuned the high in the cut. Read up on tuning in the cut, that is the best way.

2017年3月19日 · Stihl MS-290 Chain Saw - Compression High Problem When I attempted to start my Stihl MS-290 Farm Boss Chainsaw, the compression seemed way too high. All I got was a thump between pulls. Thinking I has a serious problem, I pulled the sparkplug and it …

2013年2月8日 · What he said! I have a friend who uses 290's exclusively in his firewood business and he has modded all of his saws. The muffler mod will do all that has been described, plus it will give the saw much faster throttle response. Much faster, plus more grunt in the cut. It'll surely surprise you if you're only used to the stock version. I sure was.

2009年12月26日 · Helped a friend with his ms290, new fuel line and cleaned the carb. Removed/destroyed the limiter caps. I have read sevel post suggesting the proper setting was one turn out from soft seat. On the carb. cover is says H 3/4 turn and L1/4 turn. That will assume that the limiter caps are in, I...
