I enjoyed this video, i have numerous stihl saws but my go to is my ms 291 , i followed your video to a tee , i ended up put a 3/8 sprocket and a 25" bar with a full skip tooth , and this thing freaking ripes through the wood , thanks for the video again, it really needed to breathe and get some fuel. We have a local sunco gas station that sells 93 octane with no ethanol and mixed it 45/1 . Completely different saw now .
Always great watching you work and the great commentary. Stay well, I too have a bad back (lumber region) my osteopath really gives me relief. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.
Isn't there a baffle inside the muffler chamber that will restrict the air flow even though you opened up the manifold intake which occurs before the interior baffle?
Hi, learned something on how to improve the intake and muffler on this particular saw. Couldn't really see how you adjusted the air and idle screws, would like to know how you do this properly for optimal performance, let me know if you would? Can tell you have fixed A WHOLE LOT of saws in your shop there! Like how you kept all the parts free of small debris in the process! Have always used Stihl myself. Let me know? Thanks
Runnin great now but what makes the 291 prone to run lean ? Sorry to hear yur back cuttin up my sciatica tearin me up for 2 months now . Merry Christmas an Happy Holiday season to you an your family Bellhopper
Geetings Bellhopper! Thanks for your video. I also have a 291 that fryed the piston and barrel. Picked it up for a case of beer. Can't seem to find replacement aftermarket parts for it. Just wondering if another model barrel would fit without putting another carb on it or muffler? Or just that. What do you think. Would appreciate what your thoughts are. Heal that back of yours.
I've been waiting for this ms291 mod. I've been worried about this saw running too lean before the mod. So now that's you've opened up the muffler, how's she cut??
Thanks for the video, I was about to scrap my 291. Were you kidding when you said you had a non stratified engine? From what I’m reading they are all scavenging models
Hi Jeremy!!😀😀 What size socket does it take to get the air intake off. I need to get it off my 261 and am going to have to slim down the socket for it to fit and need to know what size socket I need to do it to. Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al
I looked you up because I need my 291 loved on, I was hoping you were close, you’re in my back yard. I’ll be getting with you and trying to see you real soon sir!
