Hi,
I have a Stihl MS290 Farm Boss with 20" bar and 3/8" chain. I recently decided to upgrade from the spur drive drum to the Oregon Powermate Drum and Rim system. Ordered the 34162 from Bailey's and now it doesn't seem to work. It seems that the slot on the drum isn't deep enough to allow it to seat far enough into the clutch so that it will align with the bar.
I have taken some material out with a file and tried to match the depth with the OEM Stihl spur drum. But that didn't help.
Did I get a defective one? Or is there some other trick I am missing?
Thanks!
Evan
