HUSQVARNA HUSQVARNA THREAD

[Woodwackr]

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.

 

[Jusgunn3]

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

Parts saws intact with decent cosmetics bring $200.

Some of the old Huskies are worth a lot more as parts. The metal flag chain brake on a 281/288, if in excellent condition can go for $100+.

Yep, You needing one, LOL. I have my doubts on finding one under $100.
New cover used metal flag

I’m always looking for the parts. I rebuild clutch covers and recoils

$100 cad (70usd) from my dealer,181 scored lightly, now a 288, it cleaned up real good

That was a good buy @bigbadbob. Did you put the dual outlet 288 muffler on it too?

 

[heimannm]

This bumper rolled out of the 281 as I was cleaning it, any idea where it should go?

I'm not home Mark to verify. So I stole this pic off of a @Woodwackr post on this thread. The snubber should face the fuel tank and the barb that broke should face outward to the starter.

Like Squareground stated, I think it is the support between the cylinder and top cover.
