great thread! It brought back good memories.

before chopping a tool up try a husky wrench. they are shorter. a stihl fan i know showed me that when i swapped out the chains on his husky and stihl, with full and 3/4 wrap handlebars respectably, after cutting camp wood. the husky should be mine tommorrow!! i can't wait.uncle sam is gettin me...

Where is the video? Let's hear that saw sing a line or two. GREAT WORK! @ INFO!

It sounds like you respect your customer and his habits. Communicate with them and make it right as best as possible. It looks like a good oppurtinty to R&D with a customer. I am a return customer when dealers treat meet fair and honestly, even when I'm at fault. one can learn alot when one...

good advice above! Maybe look for a slightly used big saw with a 36" or so bar and maybe a smaller new or slightly used medium (lighter, shorter, less vibration,) saw that fits the bill for a majority of your work. It seems there are a lot of 36"+ saws that dont see as much action these days...

i i have to chime in and agree with this. The new Yamaha WRs are the same way. There is a company that makes an entire kit to replace the stock governors and propperly plug the emission holes left over. Before= mild mannered half-throttle reporter. After=full throttle SUPERMAN, who turned it...

bought a 288 that had been rolled and welded for 2 bills and dropped one more just cause. Don't need it, but ya just need to have a jaw dropper to smoke your buddies with. It should be good beginner project to practice TLC on (and mods).

Bad @$$ gun. cool saw too!

1) another person (MOST IMPORTANT PART) 2) communication device in case other person forgot 3) first aid kit,saw,gas,etc.,etc.... alive and healhty is better than Cool and hurt, can't get L@#d in a body cast, just handled by a proffesional!:newbie:

I'm a new home owner and just had an Oak tree limbed up. I was fortuanate to know an arborist/faller. The roots are in the water main and the neighbor said it broke them a few years ago and limbs ALMOST on the electric lines.. This was not on my home inspection report. The trees will grow back...

fromdirt bike experience , it IS leaking air. dont forget to chaeck the crank seals when it gets a physical.hope it's something stupid and simple but crank seals can be easily forgotten.any body have thoughts on how to check for leaks? Iused carb cleaner or starting fluid to check old Chevy...

Now I really need to have one. I keep checking my garage to see if one magically appeared yet. Are you listening Santa?

Thanks for all the input. Idid not get the chance to recheck with a new gauge yet but tomorrow I will. I agree with blis on sealing better when at or close to operating temps. I am going to check my 266 also. My dad fell trees part time with it from about 96 or 97 until jan. 07, but his boss and...

AndreTG70 The picture of a saw in parts on the kichten table is great! LOL!

the village idiot is out today and I'm the fill in it seems. Im going to get a new comp. tester tomorrow but am a little confused on how to get an accurate measure, such as check cold, check warm, or both. I assume comp will be higher if i warm the saw then let it set for a minute before taking...

I checked the comp in my 288xp a little while ago and coldit mesured 125psi. In some other reading I saw 90psi as sign of sickness but did not notice a spec on a correct compression. Any thoughts or ideas as where to look.

NGK for sure in a dirtbike, 2 and 4 stokers, but the local saw shop uses Bosch so thats whats in my 266xp right now. I have not ran the saw for more than a minute or two at a time so I dont know about the Bosch. I only buy NGK, unless they dont gottem when I need one new sparkplug right now...

spotted a complete 262 on ebay earlier. supposedly it has straight gas syndrome(top end toasted) but it appers complete w/20+" bar and chain. Too bad I dont need parts yet

great info. I think my old neighbor has a worn out 262 that i will try toget my hands on. I have a 288 and a 266 for bigger stuff but a overhauled 262 sounds like fun. light ,powerful, and a Husky to boot.:rock:

slow poster , i am thx for the replies. Idid not know the bar mount where different.:givebeer:
