    288xp build from a box of parts

    We had a fundraiser raffle for a tree guy who got injured. I donated my Jonsered 630 for a prize. It was picked by a guy in Scotland who donated a port job. So, I picked his port job and send the extra cylinder that came with my 288 with his 630. I fixed the stripped threads in the spare...

    Testing/face cut practice tonight. Tend to be low on the bar end. Trying to learn to make the angled cut first, not particularly well. Fuel filter got stuck high and dry. I think the pigtail fuel line would be better. Now the Dolmar 7900 needs a clutch.

    If I get real motivated I’ll fix it. I also have a new Pro Safety full wrap for it. Kinda pricey though, not sure I wanna use it.

    288xp build from a box of parts

    Little more progress tonight. Test ran it. I have never run a 288, closest would be my ported Dolmar 7900. The 288 runs good for being low on compression, needs a piston and ring. Goal is to be a grunty, responsive lower RPM felling saw. Interesting looking mix of new and old parts. Still a few...
