Husqvarna 181/281/288 Repair Thread.

Well that was a bummer. Put that coil part on to replace the broken one and still wont run. It has very weak spark. Can only see it if you pull real hard. Guess i need the coil at the flywheel?
Is ther anything inbehind the flywheel that has to do with spark?

Early 181s take the smaller 503 26 02-04 Seal on the flywheel side, this is the same seal that is used on the 61/272 chassis. The later 181s and all of the 281s and 288s use the larger 503 26 02-05 seal for the flywheel side and all saws on this chassis use the 05 for the clutch side. Also, the larger seal is the same one used in the 394/395 as well as the 2100 family.

That B why duece88s hold up!

There isnt a saw that makes music like an idleing 288.

Does the 181 sound just as good?

Finally got around to putting the coil on my 181. Dribbled some fuel down carb and she lit rite up. Now i got to order some antivibe bushings and replace them. Get a bar and chain or i think i can run my stihl bar with an adapter?

They few seconds it ran it sounded pretty darn good.

I forgot to mention in my 288 thread and I gotta say, so far I like the feel of 4 av springs in the rear with 2 rubbers and the front spring up front. Now I haven't used the 288 much yet, but nothing jumped out at me as being undesirable about that config.
