For the second time and I hope the last I have an MS290-390 changeover which I just did last week and it blew up on the first start. Never figured out exactly what happened but the piston came apart and destroyed the cylinder also. It appears that one of the ring lands came apart.

I have only done one, and don't plan to ever do another!!! Luckily, the guy that has it likes it, and after a couple of years of firewood use, it still runs!

It ran OK, but having pro saws, it did not impress me. But the current owner prefers it to his 041.

New 2255 that was dead out of the box. Don't know if it even made a cut. C-clips must have been just tossed in as a afterthought.

Had been sitting for quite a while before I got it. Doesn't look bad for just hitting it with a little air. Eventually I'll get the correct fuel cap and proper id tag.(original had to go in for warranty) (still has the stickers on the underside though).

It's wearing a 460 p&c now. Don't know if I'll ever use it but it runs real well now.

Doing some cleaning up in the shop tonight. Bench is totally better than it was. Serviced my ultrasonic cleaner too. Dumped it, cleaned it and put in fresh simple green and water. I use 1 pint of simple green to a gallon of water and it works great.

An old girl that got a chain touch up. Got it going few months back and thinking about running a tank through it this weekend to see how it works.

I got one of those... fires on a prime. You’ll have to share how it goes!
