Ok..its rite at 3.5mm so I'm good there another question is what are the original screws for the recoil cover ?
That could depend on the year made and/or if replacements were installed. As stocks deplete, Husqvarna provides the current fastener, so you may see some with star dive heads. Earlier 288's definitely had the screwdriver head fasteners. You can try looking up in the IPL closest after the date of your saw was made to find out possibly.
Well, after taking a peek at the current offering from Husqvarna 724132955 which is(still) a cross slotted screwdriver type head, that should pretty much tell the story of what should hold on the 288 starter cover.
The 288 I recently built seems to like full comp rather than skip with a 31” 404 bar. The semi ch comp was faster and smoother than 52AJ.
GWS poor little recoil handle
I’ll send ya the broken pieces soon lol , thanks Kev ,
Just wait til you get that .0005 off the base

Did he stumble across it seemingly lost in one of his cargo pants pockets?
The cargo king, he had a 066 in the other pocket Lol , he’s awesome
Napoleon rules ,
I don’t have a photo, but I’ve never seen any evidence of bark getting hot from other saws if you blow a bigger pipe out on a 45° angle from the front corner. The small pipe makes the muffler and exhaust gases hotter and it blows it into a more confined area than a larger one
I cut a lot of trees called stringy barks. Their bark makes for a really good tinder for starting fires and unfortunately this dam 288 keeps igniting them. I need to change something on it to help stop this as we are coming into summer over here and I don't want to burn the place down.
