HUSQVARNA HUSQVARNA THREAD

Hyway or Meteor is my recommendation. 130 is kinda low, my brother's 281 from that era made 180psi with a lightly scored piston.

With a bgd my 288 is pushing 200. Starting it cold is interesting…no decomp.

I am still waiting for them to get their 2100 and 261 (coated) pistons back in stock

I’m debating using their 2100 kit and selling the thin ring top I have for more than I paid for the saw

What would you pay for a running 281xp, decent shape but has been used for sure. 32” and a 28” bar and chains, thanks!

200-300.00 to me personally.

I paid $200 for one that was in near mint condition…nice bar, a few chains and a case…until I got it home and pulled the muffler…
Cyl cleaned up, replaced the piston with oe. Nice saw now…have yet to cut with it, however.

Yeah, this one looks far from mint and he wants $400. I think I will pass.
