Well, for starters take CAPS LOCK off, it feels like you are SHOUTING WHEN YOU TYPE LIKE THIS besides making it awful to read.

MS390's are a piece of junk, trade up or flog it on Ebay to some sucker, MS441 would be a wise choice, also the MS361

There's 3 saws in the Stihl line up that really suck.

ms290, 310 and 390 ... mark my words, the people who say they're great either sell them or it's one of the first saws they ever used unless they traded up from some Poulan wild thing etc.

Hey Ladies and gentlemen.

I've been awol for a while, no guarantees on spending tons of time here or at the other forums over the next few months. Been busier than a one legged man at an a$$ kicking contest.

Hope everyone is well!

Ekka · 23rd May 2008, 08:22 PM

funarty · 23rd May 2008, 08:27 PM

Well, it doesn't really have a definitive problem. It's sort of like an old old vdub, gutless and bouncy.

It's just not a performance saw, it's made for the handyman market. Sometimes they can be right SOB's to start when hot, notice the doughy throttle response ... just like a Vdub.

STEVEGODSEYJR · 26th May 2008, 09:15 PM

I wouldn't have anything but a stihl!!! guess I need a pro model.......

newguy18 · 27th May 2008, 10:49 AM
