Re: stihl 290 310 390 029 039

I put a 3/8 pitch with 24" bar on my 029 but after I put a 039
piston an cylinder on it. I completely gutted the muffler.
heated the crimp with torch, took apart and got rid of
everything inside. It does ok, but I have an 026 I bought with a
3/8 and I think it's too big, very easy to stall. I think it
would be a lot better with a .325 are maybe a 3/8 LP.

One of these threads we were talking about having to replace the
case when the oiler tank nipple gets broken off.
Guy on the chainsaw repair group just showed a redneck repair he
is trying.

Pretty simple repair. save me having to replace the whole tank
assembly on a stihl ms290 the Oiler nipple broke off when I was
disassembling. Picked up some small brass tubing from the
hardware store reamed out the hole just to create a friction fit
assembled and then used a little super glue to seal the plastic.
Don't even know if I needed the glue the friction fit was very
snug. I think you should work just fine.

Guy brought in a 029 he said he has owned since first year
offered. Got me curious on the first year the 029 was being
sold? Saw after wiping the thick layer of dust off. Guy said it
has been setting for years now. Well she is ready to go. Was
surprised how little I had to do. Also noticed every fastener on
it was loose a bit.
Also I have done some rednecking to the stihl fuel lines in the
past to keep guys cutting on a Sunday. But this one was alittle
different.
HD-5 carb and needs a air filter. Can see through the wire mesh.

Old recall found on 029 039 back in 93-94 while searching for
dates made.

Maybe this
I found this on the stihl site = Development since 1992
A series of events unfolded one after another in the 1990s that,
in retrospect, paved the way to a true success story.
In 1993, production of the 029, 039

Wondering if really a 039. Wouldnt a 039 have screw caps?
Everything is like the older 039 as far as the carb, tank vent
etc. But the flippy caps threw me a curve . So did they do
flippy run on the 039 before 390?

Per stihl dealer on chainsaw repair group = no. All flip caps
came with the 0 moving to the back end.
me = Going to have to get someone to run the serial number for
me then. P+C look like new and got it running after setting for
2 years with old mix. Dang clutch bearing was rusted up too. Not
going to pull muffler to measure to see what bore.
Think I figured it out when I checked serial number. There was
none. OEM replacement crankcase I bet. Stihl part sticker still
under muffler.
