No sir, I assembled it as it was. I couldn’t do my normal painting routine because I rebuilt it in the winter. Too dern cold to paint.

My next question is... I know you have painted Husqvarna orange in the past, so did you use the proper code or did you find a suitable replacement colour? Cheers bud

Yup that was on my 288. I bought some actual Husqvarna orange from my dealer.

You didn’t have a paint code associated to it at all?

I was gonna go down the local shop and get some 2k mixed with the code you used. It seems a good match. I can get Stihl paint codes no probs, but Husky ones are proving an issue..

Just bought a NOS oem crank and bearing set (crank and piston bearings)

Just need a new carb or a good full kit and a new piston kit hopefully meteor do one.

My 254 will be at that stage soon. Full overhaul on that one is next. I'd do the 024 first but I like that 254 too dang much!

Looks like you need an intake partition too, don’t see one in the pic, OEM are still available. Looks like a great start too me

I feel like you now understand why I have become so obsessed with my 254. It really is a great little but not so little saw.

weird you picked up on that. I got it or got it when I got the saw. It’ll be in the garage somewhere

Yeah I guess I'm weird...LOL! I've been in this 2-series chassis a lot lately and missing parts jump out at me.
