[del][/del]Found a project on craigslist for a 290 farmboss with bad piston and cylinder for 40.00 Is it worth fixing , I want a winter project. or should I keep my money?
Yep!smokinjay said:Offer 20.00 not a penny more. Not many will take on a 290 you can quickly get in over your head in money. Unless you have a couple setting around already.
estang said:Thanks guys this saw is already in pieces so I would hope all the parts are there. I will offer 20 and see what happens
Danno77 said:Offer 20, but I'd pay up to 40 and then drop a 390 piston and cylinder in there.
That isn't worth 40. BTDTestang said:looks to have too many parts missing but the other saw he is selling might be a good buy for someone here

Sure, if I had a saw that needed ALL of those parts. BTW, you can have good compression on a saw that has a nearly destroyed lower end. I'm wondering why this particular saw was condemned to parts status. Someone should ask the seller that question, because when I see a saw that has parts missing I assume they were used to put on a good saw. For example, if I have a saw with a bad coil and carb, they would go with the parts saw, why do I need them. What happened to the bad parts? I must not be trusting, I've just seen to many saws sold without significant, but small pieces so that you can't test the saw. It's like the infamous really clean looking saw with a broken starter cord. "works great, but you can't start it, trust me!"MasterMech said:Danno77 said:That isn't worth 40.

Really? You wouldn't give $40 for OEM P&C, Crank assy, and a rewind starter? He'll get it.
