Gotta manufacture an intake block and linkage, do a little plumbing and finish grinding. Hopefully in the next two weeks itll be ready for a test run

Sounds like a big boy carb is getting fitted.
Very cool.

The cylinder looks like a Stihl, the piston looks like a Stihl, I guess it would probably run pretty good at 100 - 120 - 80. But I've never done a 288 so I'm just guessing

Kevin you are spot on with your # my Friend

I have one at 99-118-79, it runs pretty good. No need for that much intake for a system that flows pretty well. Keep the crankcase compression!

So who’s got a crankcase half they could part with?

 

[cus_deluxe]

Ouch, thats a bummer

 

[redline4]

How did that happen?

 

[Yotaismygame]

I’m not sure. Nothing was in the case. Almost seems like someone took the saw apart and put it back together that way thinking it would be okay

 

[cus_deluxe]

If its a nice case half you could prob get it welded.

 

[Yotaismygame]

Whole saw is nice. Maybe it could be. I feel like it would be easier just to source a case half though.

 

[cus_deluxe]

That could be, problem with guys on here is that we are all hoarders lol!

I think I might have a usable case half you can have - I'll check through my junk today.

eBay has a nice complete with Oiler and crank, but I’d rather not spend $120 on it then have extra unneeded parts
