Stihl MS290 chainsaw (Farmboss)

So since I have nothing to blame now, does that mean I have to give credit to cfpinz? :lol:

Oh no! The credit goes to your excellent managment. Only blame for bad stuff goes to cfpinz

Thanks for clarifying that Dun. I got it down pat now. It'll take some blame pressure off my wife. I know she'll be happy too. 8)

Now it's go me thinking about this drought. Hmmmm :?: I'd like to blame cfpinz for some rain. NOW!

You must not have it down perfect yet. Rain would be good so no credit to cfpinz. Unless you get flooding,then it's his fault. Blame=cfpinz, credit=your good managment

Well you messed that up. I was trying to use some of that there reverse psychology on him, if he's to blame for this drought. :lol: It may never rain again now.

He's not quite bright enough for any kind of psychology to work on him, reverse or otherwise.

Went to a psychologist once. When I left his office he was laying on the big brown couch crying. All I wanted him to do was look at my ingrown toenails. Some foot specialist he was! :roll:

rmc - I laid about 30 acres down Tuesday and Wednesday evening, if it's ever going to rain you can bet your rear on it now.

I talked with the local Stihl guy yesterday. He's been selling Stihl for the 20 plus years he's owned the shop and his dad sold them before the son (current guy0 took over. He says he replaces very few fuel lines a year. He hasn;t had any cutomers that have complained abiut fuel line problems. Most of the wood cutters as a business and the commercial yard care companys all use Syihl. He suggested either it was the oil or poor quality gasoline.

Dun thanks for asking the guy about the fuel line. That was my main purpose of the first post. I wanted to see if this was a wide spread problem and it doesn't seem to be. When I got this last fuel line the dealer said he sells 20-25 per year here. Guess that pretty much points to the fuel. I buy BP mainly but have used Shell. Could be some type of additive in the fuel that was added in the process that's attacking the rubber line. As I said in another reply I use Stihl oil.

I'm sure fuel quality varies across the country as well as local. I think most of our fuel is stored in Montvale just east of Roanoke Va. and trucked to the different stores in this area. I've always heard and read the fuel is the same just different co's have there on additive. I know there's 3 different grades of diesel fuel here. Not posted as different grades but the lesser one you don't want in your tractor. I've used Southern States fuel for the better part of 35 years now and never had a fuel problem. It cost a bit more but they clean,filter and treat the fuel with an additive that's well worth the few cents difference. But diesel is getting into another subject, just pointing out quality of fuel in diesel here. Thanks again.

My 2 cents........I have two stihl chain saws,a stihl pole saw,and a stihl brush cutter,no trouble at all,and the chain saws are pretty old...............good luck

Those pole saws are a slick work/injury saver aren;t they? With the hodge podge tangled mess of multiple trees all downed, partially downed or split and twisted from the ice strom in January, being able to stand back a little way and still reach in to get the cutting done without having to get right into the mess has kept me from getting hurt by something happening that I don;t really have any control over.

Yes they are quite a tool,they come in mighty handy for cuttin cedar trees too,instead of trying to crawl in there to get to the trunk,just stick that pole saw in there and cut........good luck
