I get the engine reassembled and back down in the fuel tank. I used a cross cylinder and pop up piston. ~-~~-~~~-~~-~ Please watch: "Kubota BX Grading and Filling Hole" • Kubota BX Grading and ... ~-~~-~~~-~~-~
Your welcome. I was in a hurry to get it together and the saw is not that good of a looking saw so I did not bother to clean it much. I did another saw that was mint and I took time to clean it.
Thanks for the video! I’m getting ready for my second attempt at this. I think I have a vacuum leak. The saw runs wide open no matter how I adjust the carb.
Doing an 029 project right now. Have to put a new motor in. Read that I can throw the 49mm 039 motor right in. Think that’s what I’m going to do if that’s possible.
When you removed the grease from bearing did you repack with grease before installing. Also do you put the seal back on both sides of bearing or just one

These saws don't use a base gasket from the factory. They use sealer. The squish is not easily adjustable on these saws. The saw can not be a clamshell design if you want to do a base gasket delete.
I use SAE 30 engine oil as an assembly lube. Some old saws call for mixing SAE 30 oil for you gas oil mix. I just use SAE 30 for assembly, and a lot of it. You can also use 2 cylce oil for assembly.
I have not worked on a 291. I know they are a completely different saw. By looking at a part diagram it appears the cylinder bolts to the plastic case. It does not look like there is a pan like on a 290. www.diyspareparts.com/parts/stihl/diagrams/ms291/021790eb-e198-4a60-9e1b/
+Oisin Hayse I've never used one. I like that the come with Caber rings. I've heard in terms of quality they are the closest to OEM. I heard the meteor cylinder for a 390 is not a good performer. This Cross cylinder looked very nice, near OEM in quality.
Oisin Hayse Did you check with the dealer on a cylinder? Sometimes the Husqvarna cylinders are the same price as the AM cylinders. The meteor cylinder is still a good way to go.
94BULLITT at the moment in ireland their outrageously priced it would nearly be cheaper to buy a new husqvarna chainsaw than it would be to a oem piston and cylinder kit which is a bit of a joke
