I like the way that looks....but what is the eliminator top?

Eliminator was a aftermarket top cover and k&n filter setup, was only available in a high top setup, kinda like a max flow of it's day. Vintage kinda thing.

That's cool, do the eliminator kits ever pop up for sale? Does your low top eliminator have a k&n or is that just a sticker?

Everyone in a while they pop up, mine has a mesh filter under it.

So the eliminator kit was blue? Was this a factory option or aftermarket?

dustinwilt68 · Dec 18, 2018

Aftermarket, yes they were blue

Nice saws, nice haul of wood and yes bad news.
They’re still going to be produced in Brazil from what I’ve heard, so that means parts aren’t going anywhere for a long time.

But still? Exactly. Say I buy a future 588 online or a dealer who is a member here. Cause there aint no hoosky dealers round here. Damn thing wont run rite, so to get her fixed I have to ship it out ups. Cause I cant fix it wiff me pliers N tuning screwdriver..
Fudge that!

Just about the same price as a 390. I figured it would be sub 1k.

Thanks
