guess what was tightened up crossways in the exhaust flow.lol
this 288 ran great.just used it a few times to buck and noodle some big rounds of wood.i did notice the carb tuned funny and the idle was probably 3500 rpm until it warmed up.its a wonder it would even have enough impulse to run.
@Definitive Dave do you have husky 288 gasket sets? with intake gaskets?no base or case gasket needed.i swear ill use some sealer this time.
i really don't think the guy i bought the saw from done this.
