When you're ready to get doing on it I've got a coil set you can have. Don't know if they work, they're on my builder. Just need your address.

Thank you sir

Got the second 288 finished my small part's came today.
Waiting on a piston and wristpin bearing to arrive then i will finish the third 288.
Just tuned in wood today after a couple of heat cycles.
I'm old that's how I've always broke an engine in.
That kitten follows like a dog saw's don't bother it.

Looks good. I heat cycle new top ends too, feels criminal to do anything else.

I let mine idle for about 15 seconds, then half throttle for about 45 seconds, idle for 15 shut down let it cool then repeat but substitute 1/2 throttle for full in wood.

I fire mine up till the fins are hot to the touch. Do it a couple times then give it hell.

Time to revive this thread. What's going on in the 288 world?

Still want another 181 or a 281/288 for that matter...

Getting ready to send mine down to the Midget Pig's spa .... he did an awesome job on my 262.

I’ll be tearing mine down soon to grind also. Hunting has been slow so now it’s time to start playing

Them Rattler 288’s are nasty...jealous

 

[Daserlon]

I guess i should dust mine off. Both have been sitting for a while.

Dnt feel bad, my mint 1 has only been started 1 time, and it wasn't even by me Carl Miller had the pleasure.

Anyone wanting to build a 281 I have a real nice KS jug I found.

Question for you 288 pro’s: can a 281 be used on a 288? I assume it will bolt up but is it a smaller carb?

 

[dustinwilt68]

Yes it will bolt directly on, same carb
