    Had a little hit on this today....new piston arrived, fitted that. Honed cylinder (took ages). And reassembled handle tank to crank. Also did flywheel and ignition module (s?)..... What is this grommet the pencil is pointing at? Normally I'd say tank breather but it isn't. Parts I need are; Base gasket Av mount Exhaust gasket Carb boot gasket Walbro hda 98 carb kit Chain catcher Managed to reuse a 357xp fuel line which still had some life left in it

    Shouldn't really have one as a team leader though eh?

    Also hold it by just the starter cord. Should slowly unwind as saw falls or not at all, if this happens quickly then def low comp

    Check underside for scratches and how rusty exhaust is as this indicates age/use. Things that may need replacing are av mounts , clutch drium/sprocket etc. Check bolts are all present as missing ones can indicate knackered threads. Make sure it will idle for a good while then not cut out when you rev it again. Check revs do not drastically alter when angle of saw is changed. Make sure brake is working. No way I would buy a used 290 for 300 quid though. Plenty decent saws about for under 200 or pro ones for 300.... where abouts are you based? Good luck!

    Dan, hope this runs and works well for you. Personally can't help feel your better off buying a scrap own saw and stripping it and rebuilding then ending up with something which will definately last years. Very keen to see how this lasts though.

    The are a few ok dealers on eBay. Potentially harry the cat ( has he been on here?) But generally agree with spud. I have a ms200 backhandle for sale and a ea5000 Makita ( on its first bar) if either will float yet boat

    Couple of lime reductions today on the sub. Not a single saw started all day. Climbed with another climber - refreshingly different reducing a tree with some else climbing too. And much faster! Many phone lines amongst the second one.

    Wait till your climbing with it and you'll reach for the lighter one every time! But agreed on the deck 660!
