So you find a flexing bicep sexier than a low-cut top?

Husky guys...[emoji23][emoji1787][emoji28]

High tops are prone to breaking easier also

Does this mean someone out there has a low top they want to ship to Ireland to help a bud out then?

 

[00wyk]

OK, ignore my pleas. The local guys FINALLY said they MIGHT be able to find me a top. I went ahead and told them to order it. Until today they've just flat out been saying no. Yeah, it's not too promising, but it's the best I got to go on. They are asking 25 plus tax. Much less than I've been quoted from the UK. Wish me luck.

Well 32” went to the 394, 24” went on 371 found a 28” Windsor to put on this one. Same guy I got the bar from had the elbow.

I will say this, 103 pages about ONE model speaks for its following and the people passionate about it. I'd like more threads like this about other brands and models.

To be fair, there are 50 pages of, “Hooray 288!”

Simple, powerful, reliable. Can’t ask for anything more.

Same could be said for all 2 series saws and the 394. Imo

I considered 394 as one of the 2 series saw After all it has 2 series style oil pump, intake. Even the crank is the same as the glorious 288.

I know you need to measure but does a 288 typically need a base gasket

I guess so. I can see a little of the piston crown at bdc on mine. But ir runs fine. I use it to make big cookies

 

[dustinwilt68]

Generally you can delete the base gasket without any issues, but double checking would be best.

Agreed. The only thing a kin to 3-Series on the 394 is the plastic removable carb box floor. Everything else is good old 2-series.
