Sorry here is the pic

Also, I cannot get the chain brake to engage/disengage... Any thoughts on what to do... I fix as much of my own stuff as possible and have not taken a saw apart this far before....

I thought that was my picture! I got good advice from here and parts are easy to find on ebay or you can even find a donor saw for under a 100 bucks. I also scored a 310 off the tree trimmer and still have a good engine from my burnt up 290, so this fall I will have another 290. It all worked out thanks to the guys on here!
