    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.

    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!
