conversion?

[inky]

i have husqvarna 181 that i would like to convert over to a husky 288. is there a recommended piston and cylinder size? Thanks i want to use it for milling boards

288 is direct swap I thought. I dont think you would notice much power increase over a 181.

Keep the 181 and refresh it.

Yeah, I'm with these guys. For ~7cc, it won't be a very big difference in power. New bearings and seals, new carb kit, and new rings, you should be good to go.
