## # Brought my saw(MS390) into the shop over a month ago because I thought my bar oiler wasn't working properly. He had it for almost a whole month(waiting for parts) and then told me he was not sure if he was able to fix it because he said the last person to work on the saw used a pneumatic wrench and it would possibly destroy the saw for him to access the oil pump. After all that time I just asked for the saw to be returned to me. And yes, I was charged. Not too worried about that because I'm sure he actually did his best.#
## # I took the saw home. Downloaded the manual for my saw to see if I can fix it myself which I should have done in the first place. Turns out the holes on the bar where the oil enters is completely caked as thick as beeswax. Cleaned the entire bar out. Thought my problem was over. #
## # I did that a 10:00 pm. The next morning I tried to fire up my saw and found out there was no spark plug. He forgot to put it back in. Bought a new one that morning. Wouldn't start. My saw has never had a problem with the engine. Always starts like clockwork. 4 pulls at full choke and it turns over. 5'th pull at half choke and then its all good. Compression is good at#110. #
## # My problem is that I brought it back and he can't get it started. Been there for more than a few days there again. How would you deal with a guy like this? I got it serviced there a few months ago for my oiler and he blew out the lines and adjusted the oiler on the bottom of the saw. Possibly nothing wrong with the oil pump just needed to be cleaned. I'm into this for about $200 so far and I'm still out a saw. What would you do? I need my saw back.#Sorry if hash marks appear on this post. It did last time I posted and I don't know how they get there.
