All Things 288XP

Yep, wish they had a compression release, that why I like the Mahle or newer KS 288 cylinders.

The cylinder that came on my saw has a port, never did find out what brand it was though.
Here's the tank I'm getting. Hope the seller gets it on its way

You talking about the 288 cylinder or the 281 cylinder from Kahlers?

Cylinder that came on my 288

You can add a Decomp center of the chamber if you don't mind drilling a small hole in the top cover

Thanks Dave, I wondered if a person could do that.

Is there a differance between 181 and 281 cylinders? Is one better than the other? I've got both as spares.

Look at the squish band real close.

Thin ring cylinder looks like a perfect dome. Only way to improve is to move the plug to center

I'll look real close but what am i looking for?

The 181 has a wider band and smaller combustion chamber than the 281.

Is that the throttle lever on the top? Looks like a Lego crane

Aside from that it is minty

The lego crane mod is a rare factory special edition. But sadly it only comes with 3 tires (period correct lego set).

Got my stickers from SC Supply that I ordered through chainsawr.com today. Top notch repop decals. They look great! They also knowingly threw in a free Husqvarna decal that I didn't order, they even wrote "free" on the back of it.. I'll be using SC Supply for all my NLA decal needs. Still haven't had time to put my new tank on or tear it down to repaint the cases with the dealer paint. I'll get there.

Freebie
