Hi Thall! It's true that my 026 can run longer than the POS 290 but still nowhere in the near of the 353. We're talking maybe every 2 tanks on the 026, otherwise the power drop is very noticeable. On the 353 we're talking maybe 25-30 tanks of gas. Instead of taking a giant step forward in all those years since the 026 came out, you now have to clean the filter on the 290 after each face cut Stihl engineers must have a very high coffee consumption and less time behind the desk...
No no no, your talking every two tanks of fuel, I'm talking many more than that with no power drop at all. I got 13 trouble free years on mine so I can't relate to what your yaking about, sorry. You still say the 290 needs a air filter cleaning after one face cut, Pete that just makes everyone go yeah right and the sky is falling too. Pete you just don't get it so let me help ya. The public, not the brand loyalist like you, but the public overall decide who is what by the number of what they buy, not everyone can be wrong and you the only one right. That said the sales of the 260 prove beyond a doubt your full it not only on the 260 but the 290 as well. Your calling Stihl a POS but you can't explain why Stihl continues to outsell your brand year after year. According to sales you got your POS's backwards which doesn't surprize me either. You may not have to clean your filter as much and now you don't have to clean your clock either, I just did it for ya,:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:
