I thought we were finally done with BushesPics of bush?
picsgood morning,
got 238G in the mail today, haven't seen anything further about it. The hope is that 3 will provide a functional 238G/SG.
From the quick things I can see is that it has been on the ground for much of its life, the chain has probably come off a couple of times.
It is dirty and needs washing while I take a pressure and vacuum check at the same time.
Even though c&p should be good, it gets a lot of new parts.

I can certainly do that Steve, charging the flashlight so I can take a couple of pictures of the dirty rascal.pics
Someone check on @dall. That's a lot of crank talk for a guy of his disposition.The background to 238, for my part, is a long story.
Many years ago I bought a 133SG project, which actually turned out very well in the end, but an 80's saw of only 34cc is really meh. But it belongs in a Husky collection, and it was the origin of 242 and 246.
133/234/238 vs 242/246 is a lower cylinder and also a lower top cover, becomes like 254 vs 262.
So due to the meh feel the 133 had, I wanted a working 238sg/g.
The first one I bought had a crank issue, inner race spinning, but I powder coated it.
I bought a used crank, same fault.
Then I bought a nice 238SE this year, which I haven't started to work on, came across a defective 238 body, with toasted top c&p, but it's the crank I'm hoping for. I also bought this one that I got today, have the same hope for a crank in case the other one doesn't give a crank. With luck there may be two of these.
On the road in the 238 adventure I have bought a nos top end, start covers, top covers lol
I never knew Subaru had generatorsPicked this thing up today. I've wanted a small quiet generator but didn't want to spend what people want for Hondas. I've read that these use a little more fuel but they're just as reliable.View attachment 436539
Anyone else with any experience?
They weren't super popular but people seem to like the Robin engines.I never knew Subaru had generators
I have a Champion that converts gasoline into electricity. I'm sure that will to.Picked this thing up today. I've wanted a small quiet generator but didn't want to spend what people want for Hondas. I've read that these use a little more fuel but they're just as reliable.View attachment 436539

Well the good news is he gets to skip the "airing down" for more traction step.
