My neighbor buddy has this MS290 that has been through h#ll and back a few times. He's cut a ton of firewood with it but sucks about taking care of anything. He was complaining about it starting to stumble and bog off of idle so I convinced him it was time for some simple maintenance. He stopped and got a little kit with a new air filter, spark plug, and fuel filter. We installed of that I talked him into a mild muff mod. I had to defeat the rev limiters afterwards to get it to tune. It idles fine and runs out and cuts fine....noticeably better than before, but I can't tune the stumble out of it.
I'm leaning towards new fuel lines and maybe carb rebuild now.
Any push in the right direction much appreciated.
