Morning Kenneth! Morning midlanders!

Can you fellas give me guidance on weather or not to rebuild one of the MS290's out of the pile? I find piston/cylinder kits in 46, 47 and 49mm bore. What would be best to get? The parts from China look very reasonable.

There is no replacement for displacement. So, 49mm gets my vote.
What you guys think?

I say go for it! The 49mm should be just fine. Just a 390 cylinder. If you do, I'd find the badge for the 390 and pop that in the flywheel cover. In reality, that's what it would be. Should be good on the same carb too.

I have rebuilt two saws with 49mm kits from the DLA store. Quality kit with a chrome plated bore. The port edges have a good chamfer and the piston is a nice piece.

Surely one of the site sponsors can get you the same kit

Mo. Jim is having internet issues and using that as an excuse to avoid Evilbay (CAD).

Kenneth and I have been keeping tabs on him. I manage to pester him for parts or sage advice every few days.

Okay; Thanks Guys: I'm on AS all the time. Hanging out in the Good Morning Thread. I keep tabs on Y'all's doings. Jim usually drops by GM and says Hi. I know about the internet issues, I've had my share, and us oldies are barely savey enough to get online.
