I enjoyed this video, i have numerous stihl saws but my go to is my ms 291 , i followed your video to a tee , i ended up put a 3/8 sprocket and a 25" bar with a full skip tooth , and this thing freaking ripes through the wood , thanks for the video again, it really needed to breathe and get some fuel. We have a local sunco gas station that sells 93 octane with no ethanol and mixed it 45/1 . Completely different saw now .

The issue with my 291 is it never seems to oil enough. Ended up drilling out the holes on the bar a bit an thinning the oil a little.

Hi, learned something on how to improve the intake and muffler on this particular saw. Couldn't really see how you adjusted the air and idle screws, would like to know how you do this properly for optimal performance, let me know if you would? Can tell you have fixed A WHOLE LOT of saws in your shop there! Like how you kept all the parts free of small debris in the process! Have always used Stihl myself. Let me know? Thanks

Geetings Bellhopper! Thanks for your video. I also have a 291 that fryed the piston and barrel. Picked it up for a case of beer. Can't seem to find replacement aftermarket parts for it. Just wondering if another model barrel would fit without putting another carb on it or muffler? Or just that. What do you think. Would appreciate what your thoughts are. Heal that back of yours.

Isn't there a baffle inside the muffler chamber that will restrict the air flow even though you opened up the manifold intake which occurs before the interior baffle?
