All Things 288XP

[mrxlh]

Quick question, I'm mounting a 28" 3003 bar on my 288, how many drive links do I need, saw has a 8pin on it, and standard chain won't fit

Lay the D009 (Large Husky) bar on top of the D025 (large Stihl) lining up the adjuster holes, you can trace the D009 slot length on the D025 bar with a sharpie. Lengthen slot to the sharpie line, and the standard Husky DL chains with the appropriate bar adapter will work just fine. I used a drill and a file, took like 15 minutes tops. If you don’t want to modify the bar, you need to add 1 additional DL to use a large Stihl bar on a large Husky saw.

Are there different flywheels for this chassis? I swapped mine and now have a bad accel lag that won’t tune out.

181 = 501 80 22-01

281/288 = 504 70 16-01

Now to check what I have when I get home

I have a few

Both flywheels are the same and neither helps the bog. L jet doesn’t respond normally. Thinking air leak or carb issue.

Check the output shaft o-ring Wyby. Ask @PA Dan why.
