Exactly!!
Yes sir! That what i was expecting to see on my gauge till it made a sissy out of meafter a lil talk last night with @dustinwilt68 seems the 281’s had very small chambers and with no decomp it magnifies the suck. Gasket it is!
Good info. One other thing i can check is i know for a fact i changed the way i gap the coil. Always used a .030 business card for gapping. This time i used the freebee plastic card that come with HL orders. They measure .020. I Have read moving the coil closer can act like an advance? Just spitballin
Well I'm guessing I officially qualify for old fart status..just finished sewing suspenders on my new jeans..can't stand buckle clasps. Actually been doin this for more than a decade..Yep Wednesday is complete, wool moccasin clad old fart is happy now.
Not very, I may end up doing this on a buddy's saw. What I was told is you just drill a hole through the top of the cylinder, tap it, screw a decomp in and you're done.
181s had a real small chamber, maybe some very early 281s did too, but theres a noticeable difference in chamber size between the two. Seems like 281 cylinders have the boss cast in on pto side for a decomp. I added one to a 181 through the top into squish band. It works, but requires a hole in top cover.Yes sir!

Well there is no boss for one so id say not an option. But good thought that already crossed my mind.
Yes it should. Prob what it needed in the first place. 4.5 is good for 50-70ish range. It didnt bury on the spool but u can tell it stacks on an angle and not up and down. 5.5 should be what would come on it im guessing.
Another thing brought to my attn. last nite. Possibly a 181 cylinder on a 281. I got the 281 from a member here awhile back and it was a builder. Missing some things but a good foundation to start. Now if the cylinder had been changed IDK. It was just as filthy as the rest of the saw so i figured it was original but who knows. I have to pull it and take some pics for further investigation. First 28X series saw ive been in so still some things to learn.
Also maybe get a mini D handle for it, that should help with pulling it over.Another thing brought to my attn. last nite. Possibly a 181 cylinder on a 281.
