Stihl MS290 Chainsaw Checkup/Tune Up 

Yes this is my second one and the first didn't die from being submerged in fuel. It just got kinked real bad and stopped working.

You may be able to soak it in a product called Evapo-Rust then repaint it.

Gotta have more cow bell! Sometimes I forget to hit the record button on the camera and I have no additional footage. I work on so many saws and don't necessarily present them in order so I just don't remember what else I may have done to this saw. Thanks for watching!

I hate this about stihl chainsaws. Before I work on one I say a short prayer and make synthetic oil offering to the chainsaw gods.

Yes I believe Stihl offers both versions for that saw.

I've found that replacing the entire cap is more cost effective. Half of the time that they leak its due to warpage or some broken part on those flip units. Then you have to replace it anyway.

Yes. There is a hole under the saw. It has screw at the end of that hole. You can look on google for manual.

I do watch her videos. As far as repairs go her and I work on very similar equipment. As with all the repair videos I watch, sometimes I disagree with their methods and other times I discover a new way of doing things. I'm sure that statement is the same for all mechanics.

Where do you find the cereal number the sticker is gone they must of stamped it somewhere on the machine???

Ya that one was definitely used up. Thanks for watching.

Chain wear, lack of oil, usage-its a wear item.

@@TheGreasyShopRag chain TENSION. tensioninjg it too tight will do it too

@@schlomoshekelstein908 I fix a lot of home owner saws so I also see a lot of 3/8 chains on .325 sprockets or the opposite. That'll groove a sprocket real quick.

That cats motto is call me whatever you want just dont call me late for dinner.

@@TheGreasyShopRag Hey! Mine, too!

Thanks!

OR, its impressive that a saw so neglected held up for so long!

Don't hold your breath waiting for a cat documentary.
