       Beads are possibly bearing fragments bouncing around in the
       crankcase.

       This happens more when the M8 nuts are not tightened  or if the
       stud threads are stripped.

       .. How do you think this saw would pull 16" 3/8.
       Is there a clutch drum for rim set ups for this family of saws?
       I cant remember off hand.

       Running a 16" 3/8 will not be a problem.
       Stihl sell the 290/390 here even with 18 or 20" 3/8 chains.
       Rim sprocket kit #1125 007 1002 is  3/8 pitch, and the 290/390
       shares it with the 360/340

       Had a craftsman poulan 42cc and 4 chains dropped off hadnt ran
       in 5 years. 2 of the chains burred up.
       Stihl 029 super and a 311 by another guy.
       Should have known it was going to be one of those days right
       off once hitting the 2nd saw in line that was dropped off. The
       029 super. Wife said I should get little stickers made to put on
       saws that say you cant fix stupid.  ;)  :P

       On these the front bar stud just screws in?  Thinking this one
       is stripped and wondering as it pulls out over time.  Thinking
       red loctite?
       Also came in for leaking bar oil underneath.   Line wasnt
       connected to the oiler anymore. Also noticed the bar chain was
       dry. Just figured this.
       But the worm gear spring was broken off too.
       Cleaned all the bar oil out tank and line and put on a new
       filter.  SOG the freaking fuel line was squirting at the tank.
       So ended putting new line in it too.

       IIRC there is an oversize (from Stihl don't remember PN) screw
       in stud.  Rear bar stud screws into crankcase.
       Shep

       Took the stud out. About half the plastic cut in threads are
       pulled.  Going to try the redneck fix first then the oversize if
       needed.
       I have a pic of the oversize studs with part numbers in a thread
       here.  More then just this series listed  too.

       I believe you have a stud threading into a plastic crankcase
       like a 019 I have with the same problem.
       Only way to fix it is push a metric bolt the same size as the
       stud in through the oil tank.
       Now if you can't find a press in metric bolt with a toothed
       shoulder to prevent turning. You just need to weld 4 thin short
       beads around the shoulder and sharpen them up with a die
       grinder.
       Tightening up the bar nut will seat it nice.

       I had saved this in the 440 stud repair thread Mitch had.  But
       guess I better save this pic info here too.

       She is snug as a bug for now. Now to see how it holds up to
       abuse by owner.  This saw gets wrung out.

       Just finished installing a new OEM oil line in a stihl 029
       super.  No more aftermarket oil lines for me.  The aftermarket
       one in it seemed to harden up some over a year or so.
       Had a stihl 290 come in for me to look at before buyer paid for
       it. Wouldnt run over 5mins. Heck when I tested it with new to be
       owner it did it 3 times in first min or 2.
       Dumped past mix in it.  I switched it over to my mix and
       adjusted carb L side.  Good to go now.
