So I've been using a electric chainsaw (Remmington 4 hp, 18" bar) for over a year. I just made the switch to the Stihl 290 with a 16" bar. What a difference! I knew it would be better, but not this good. Plus, whenever I have a problem, I refer to the manual. The manual is spot on with its solutions. (How to deal with a flooded engine, effectiveness of sharpening the chain, etc.)
I'm still learning how to use this thing properly. Most of what I cut is less than 20". I find that tinkering and learning about the saw still consumes a lot of time (maybe because I have a respect for it) Any advice for a beginner to gas power?
