  4. for a similar saw try the ms441:thumbup1: i run a 390 and it can be a right royal pain in the butt to start sometimes and sometimes won't tickover no matter how often you adjust it. worst buy of my life although i am on my second one but only because my first one was stolen and my policy is like for like and i had already decided to upgrade my blower.
