Hello to eveyone, I have a sthil MS290, yesterday I was cutting some bushes at the edge of the yard. The saw cranked fine and ran fine for about an hour. I was cutting a privacy bush when it went dead. When it died it wasnt a smothering down. It was like the switch was cut off. I checked the gas and was far from empty. This morning I was going to cut some more. The saw wouldnt start. I checked the sparkplug, the fire was fat but not a blue color (yellow). I went and got a new plug and still not starting. I would appreciate it if someone would tell what to look for and how to troubleshoot. Thanks to everybody, rvhop
