I love how you share the real struggles we all go through. The edited videos make is seem like everything works out perfectly…it never does

Your video was both interesting and informative. Continue filming your tutorials showing John Q Public that just because we live in a disposable society doesn't mean that we constantly have to be ripped off by making new purchases or expensive dealer repairs. Its refreshing to see the younger generation rolling up their sleeves and doing it themselves. Keep up the great work youngman!

Great job! The new engine sounds pretty sweet. "Only the best for these cheap parts" LOVE IT! Thanks for all of the shout outs. ~Mr. C.

Thanks for watching and for the compliment!

Freshly rebuilt saw... Old gas!!! 😱

The threads on the OEM screws for oil pump are coarse and the aftermarket pan takes machine fine threads screws.

Really wanted to see it in wood!

You’re smart

Great video, you're at that 1K subscriber!

I almost screwed up my threads in that stud trying to double nut that... had to get a rotary dremel and cut flat notches for a adjustable wrench 🔧

Did you find a better way to do it?

Have you had a chance to work it hard? i cut about 6 cords a year and wonder if it will hold up??

I ran it for several hours on a Tornado cleanup job. Worked great! I've also used it on several landscape jobs (nothing too strenuous). I'd still like to put it through more before I give it a full stamp of approval, but so far so good. 👍

did you torque the 4 crank/cylinder bolts??

Nah, just lock-tite and used my elbow gauge.

You should really do an update on this swap... how is it holding up?

Unfortunately, the decompression valve failed on last weekend. I put in a new valve but I think it's R.I.P. I definitely got my money's worth though. It's only $30 for a new cylinder head and piston. I'll do a video soon with a teardown to see what was damaged.

Those holes on that bottom plate aren’t threaded. Those screws are basically self tapping screws and make their own threads. I also would have done away with the decompression valve and just put a decompression plug in the hole.

I agree with the plug. We had a decomp valve failure and it fell in the cylinder...

Do you know if this is possible with the MS291 as well?

From my research 🧐, unfortunately the answer is NO 😢. Sounds like there are several differences.

U know u can block off ur decomp hole instead of driling into ur air shroud? Because now your saw will be overheating

Superbe 👍. Est-ce que le carter plastique de la ms 290 est le même que la ms 390 ? Par rapport à la hauteur du cylindre de la ms 390.

I don't believe so. The 290 and 390 share the same chassis.

Can i upgrade my stihl ms 180 to ms 210,230 or 250 any one of these ??

I don't believe so. But many people port and muffler mod these for more power. It has to share the same chassis.

Where did you buy your parts from ?? I have an 029 super i wish to build into an 039 , i need a new rear handle as well. Did you do the muffler modification ??

didn't like big hole for decompressor valve... you could just use plug off it's not that hard to pull

Yes, these decompressor valves are known for failure. I’d recommend installing a plug.

How much did you spend on parts?

I can’t remember now. The current price is around $70 for the whole assembly. Check out the link in the description. I purchased the damaged chainsaw for $100.

Don't worry I'll be doing another video. I just ordered another cylinder and piston kit. The decompression valve failed and a piece fell inside causing internal damage😠. I'll be tearing it apart in a future video to find out what happened and rebuild it again.

Proof anyone can do this conversion, the kid doesnt understand the kill/start/choke switch layout
