And I’m assuming the 2100 handle wouldn’t fit on a 288?

Dang it. Well I hope one day I can get one! Trying to restore my 288xp that was given to me by my uncle. Saw runs great just missing the brake handle and components.

Will this fit a 288xp? If so I will buy it!

Update! Saw is running good now. Thank you everyone for pointing out the metering lever as a suggestion as it sits pretty far below the base of the carb into the bowl. Saw is idling and revving great. Take it out tomorrow and tune it and seat the rings. Again much appreciated!

Honestly that’s the one thing I forgot to make sure now that you and @huskihl have brought that up. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe I just need to get my flat edge and make sure the metering lever is just at the flat edge?

Hey everyone it’s been awhile since I’ve been back on here so I’m hoping I’m posting in the correct spot. I have a Stihl ms 362. The saws compression wasnt in good shape, I took it apart and the plating on the intake side was completely worn off. I replaced piston and cylinder, piston rings...

I know you say that you need more room but would you be willing to do a trade?

We picked them up. Over exertion of the back, haha. Sometimes if they soak up water you gotta do the step system! Getting those big toads in the bed of a lifted pickup is kinda a pain.

We finally got activated for help last week and a bunch of them showed up Saturday and Sunday. I know last night it was still 0% contained. I don’t know if they will stop it if it makes it to the beetle kill in the gearhart wilderness.

Yes sir! To bad right now as we speak it’s all getting burnt up.

Little after work adventures for this big ol load! This was 3/4 of a tree. The ol dirty max loves hauling wood. Haha

I was a little worried as well as the oiler was already turned up from the dealer. But I just made sure to keep the rpm up and not dog in and lug it hard. Keep that oiler workin. I will say I was impressed.

It’s been awhile fellas! I been busy as all heck. Heres the big dog cedar snag from this spring. Biggest tree yet for me. 42” bar on the new 461! A blast with a good buddy.

064 is done! Fun rebuild. Ported for torque. Sittin at .023 squish but I don’t have a lathe to get that 3 thousands so it gets what it gets. New DP muffler and cover also port matched to the cylinder. 066 brake flag fit on perfectly with a spacer and the old wrap handle was bent up pretty darn...

Nice! I have a 066 pre poly flywheel with small crank seal project and I’m waitin on Matthew Olson to get rods back in stock so I can get it done an back together. Already have it ported. Just patiently waiting...
