If that happened I would probably use some mild thread lock on the nut. Weird....

It was very weird, hadn't even cut with it yet today, happened on cold start. Ran for about 15 seconds then weird noises and stalled.

Had this happen on a 044 that was just built. Nut was still tight but sheared the key

Yes sir! My Saw isn't an anniversary model though, so I'm a bit of an unintentional poser right now.

Hey a 288 thread finished my freebie 288 lite my brother gave me and cleaning up two more 288s to build.
Pawn shop deals don't know the history of the 2 but any input on these non decomp cylinders.
The 87 has a recessed ring on the bottom and the 89 has the number 1 stamped on top never saw that before.

The finished one is mine i ran it before my brother did in 2000 lol
The other 2 my friends brought me a pile from a pawn shop.
One had never been apart but someone took the handle off?
The other is missing a chunk at the top of the case but it's fine.
Bearings are tight.
The only thing i can't find is air deflectors for the recoil.
Anyone know of a seller.

I like them both. The low top filter was a huge fail that's why I switched to the hightop.

You talking about the plastic flywheel shroud that goes on before the recoil housing?

We just have little tree's here lol
Never had a problem my lite went to 130psi so i refreshed it after 17 year's piston was fine clean inside bearings still tight.
It might be a different story now i'm cutting dead ash mostly filthy dusty crap residue from them.
Different species different problems.

I only have 1 and it's for my builder. Maybe @dustinwilt68 or @rattler have one or can point you in the right direction.

 

[rattler]

I might have one I will look.

The cover on mine is an anniversary one too. But the saws isn't ether.
