I would rather see a 52mm kit.
I don't really see that happening at this point, considering the new EPA rules?

Thanks for the come back guys! Just took a look at a oem 288 cylinder and the failed meteor and saw no signifigant difference.

I'd knife edge, then blend and polish those transfer walls.

I'll be leaving it completely stock until spring. It will be my main firewood saw this winter. I really want to test this top end.

How did the saw run at the GTG? Any side by side races with an OEM saw? Now that its been ran some more, any improvement or comments?

We had so many distractions at the GTG that a stock saw wasn't a big draw. It was ran by several guys though and it ran flawlessly. I've been putting fuel through it and it's getting broken in. I have had zero issues, and no complaints. :msp_thumbup:

Isn't there a new EPA rule that would keep them from marketing a 52mm one in the US?
I guess a 51.4 should be possible though.....

I'm not sure what the EPA is up to Niko.

Basically banning BB kits for models introduced 1995 or later, I have been told - but I don't know how the rule actually say? :msp_confused:

Troll, Im confused because I have a 52mm kit on my 362xp. Its a cheaper ebay special, but I was able to buy it and have it shipped to me. Are you saying the more reputible manufacturers will comply where as a ebay seller won't???
Sure wish Meteor would come out with a top end for the Husky 262. I have zero faith in the current options.
The bigger guys like Bailey's definitely have the EPA looking over their shoulder. The small mom and pop e-bay sellers don't. EPA cannot regulate what is manufactured in China or Taiwan but they can regulate what some larger companies import from Asian countries. The bad news is that it's only going to get worse from here on out.

This is about a relatively new rule, and it is still possible to get them - but harder to advertise any new ones....
Also, most BB kits will have inferior performance compared to the OEM stuff, unless they are ported by someone that knows what he is doing (a different topic really).

Don't know how I missed this thread, been wondering about these kits. Looks good though.
