    One mans junk, another mans treasure

    Seems many have a tuff time rebuilding the 290 series chainsaw. Lets see how hard it really is. Got this as a freebie yesterday and decided to put it back together just for you guys that find the 290 series kinda hard to fool with. Step by step, here we go.

    Why do I think there's Elvis music playing in the background as Tommy is posting this?

    Sorry man. Glad to see you still telling it like it is over one of the most popular Stihl saw models ever made.

    I think this is one of those threads that's going to go into the AS Homeowner Saw THall of Fame. Cool, that you're doing this!

    I vote that, once Tommy's pictorial is finished, all the chatter in between his posts gets deleted so the thread can serve as a fine tutorial, with the golf claps and inevitable bickering coming after.
