The more hours I put on this 390 the more I like it, such a nice saw to run.
Its like a 372 on steroids.

I bet the cooling fins were working at full capacity .

 

[heimannm]

I believe that was an attempt at a pre-filter so the fins don't get clogged with fines...

[heimannm]

The cylinder cleaned up nicely, now I need the piston assembly, intake and carburetor gaskets, base gasket, and a muffler gasket (there was one on the saw when I took it apart but nothing shows in the IPL).

Looks like my piston choices are ProLine, LRB, Highway, and Meteor or the Dukes coated piston. I'm inclined to go with the Meteor but I am open to other suggestions as well. I can't find anyone that has all the parts I need in one stop.

I like the dukes pistons. He has the coated ones and aftermarket gaskets not sure if you want OEM gaskets or not

181, 281, 288

Thats what I was hoping...thank you
Ernie

 

[ErnieG]

So both of these are supposedly for the 288 but look different...was there a few different styles of worm gears ?
Thanks

I don't think so ...it's NOS
The one I have on my saw has the larger lip around the outside.
Here is another pic of the one in question..

[Woodwackr]

There are 2 different worm gears…early, plastic or bronze and, newer, plastic. The new ones incorporate a dust cover that is a separate part earlier.

See Barrett’s IPLs for 1988 vs 1993

The left one is for early 281(8), there's half of the dust shield on the oil pump, its a silver ring pressed in. The right one is the later one. They DO NOT interchange because the pump gear is in DIFFERENT pitch.
