Surprisingly, this is the first 288XP I have ever ported. I work almost exclusively on new saws (or almost new), so just haven't ever had the chance. This particular saw is the beauty that I had in my collection for several years. Last fall I sold it to @Edwad and just now got around to porting it. Yes, he knew there was going to be a wait Maybe he didn't know it would be this long, lol. Anyway, here it is on it's first time out. The L tuning is a little funky, so I have a new carb on order. The H tunes fine, so I went ahead with the video.
