Not an issue for us, we don't even stock that part.

Thats what I did. Bought whole tensioner. Heck they wanted half the price just for the broken part. Well duh, I'll take the whole thing and have parts left over from the other one.

Owner just picked up and went home happy.

Been a long time since I ran and tested these.

This guy is running .325 18".  How do you think this saw would pull 16" 3/8. 

Is there a clutch drum for rim set ups for this family of saws? I cant remember off hand.

Also he is thinking of having me open his muffler up. Which I know gains 20% to 23% right there.

Reason is he owns a DP 440 I did for him with 20" 3/8.

1125 007 1002 is the number for the 3/8-7 rim change over kit

036, MS360 stuff will work

Be careful with old stuff as they changed the bearing size somewhere along the way. You may need to keep a specific bearing with a drum?

Stihl 029 Super
« Reply #26 on: July 22, 2014, 12:56:32 pm »
Stihl 029 super that looks new still with years of barns dust covering it and  9 chains to sharpen.  :P

Guy bought it for $50 PHO not  running on word it ran when put up years ago.  Hopefully this dont get to interesting.

Looks like it could look like new with a wipe down. I can see the bar code sticker on the front of crankcase.


Anything different on the 029 super compared to the 290, know the same cc? Maybe tank vent etc updated?

I know about the  029 being smaller bore and super being same as 290 bore.  New owner didnt.

 :D   quick look see fill up and  fire up.  :o   Missing tank vent ask me how I know.  :D  Took off fast idle throttle plate or something stuck open.  Idle screw not even touching.
Off switch wasnt working and lucky had air filter off to close the choke to shut off. The plastic switch seems out of kilter or things are misaligned.
Pulling carb next for a look.

Missing prefilter too.


Anyone got good pics of the plastic switch at brass clip and trigger areas.  IPL not helping me much looking at it.
