029 is a hell of a good saw. Bought mine back 93, I would say since 2000 I have cut up 6-7 cord a year. Replace spark plug coupled times.
Up till last year it would cold start 3 pulls, then it was 7 to 8 and local dealer said its probably seals so i replace them. Use rope in cylinder to remove clutch/fly wheel. Still starts 7 to 8 pulls. Before next load of logs shows up I will replace the carb. Still has great compression. Saw is a beast. Father in law gave me a old 040, probably made in the 80's. Very heavy and loud. That sits in the work shop
