All Things 288XP

[beaglebriar]

Started to take a look at the 288 and completely panicked when I cracked open the fuel tank: STRAIGHT GAS!! Shiite! He fired it up and ran it for me last night after I popped off the muffler!!!!

Strip the muffler off:

Looks ok. Tear it down some more and pull the cyl:

WHEW!! Not wasted!

Upon closer inspection, this saw appears to be in much better shape than anticipated

Glad it ain't scored. That'd be a awful way to start your relationship. Lol

Now give that thing a flea dip. I wanna see it shine!

The 041 FB build killed my ultrasonic cleaner. Got to order a new, bigger one. Will probably just use boiling water and a ton of Dawn dish soap. I don’t want to fade the paint anymore than it already is.

If it's not tore down yet a mild degreaser like simple green will get the bulk of it off. Spray on let it soak a few minutes and hit with the garden hose.

Get you some purple power and a water hose just don't use it on the cylinder or flywheel .

I like that and Super Clean. I think they're kinda the same stuff.

Super Clean in the USC turned a carb completely black. Didn't affect the way it ran though.

I’ve used Purple Power in the past and it faded the paint, want to avoid doing that again

That and mean green is all I use.

In the USC all I use Is straight mean green

I'll give it a try. It's a third the price of simple green.

Yes it is and works so much better that cylinder I posted a pic of earlier was cleaned with it just takes a while.

Avoid using anything with caustic in it on aluminum parts ( sodium hydroxide ) worked at a chemical plant that made chlorine gas and one of the by products was caustic. Bad *s-word right there.
