    Husky 288xp rev limiting carb fix???

    Its very subtle but it seems to clean up in the cut. seems like a lack of power though which may be just my ears/mind playing tricks on me.

    Husky 288xp rev limiting carb fix???

    I will get some pictures and model number tomorrow. its weird you get it good and rich down to say 9500 rpms and slowly adjust leaner. It hits about 10,800 and i didnt go much beyond that point but it didnt change at all. didnt want to lean it out too much so i quit there.

    Husky 288xp rev limiting carb fix???

    10,800 is freewheeling and yes i know what im doing well enough to not burn down the saw. I have read there is a fix i just havent seen anywhere as to how. Just figured that would be easy to do with the carb off so i could eliminate that as a possibility. If i knew exactly how to do it i...

    Husky 288xp rev limiting carb fix???

    Hey guys i am curious how to get rid of the rev limiting part of the 288 carb. I have one that from what ive read seems like the spring is getting weak. It will only turn about 10,800. New bar and chain on it so thats not binding and everything else seems free. Compression is right up there...

    Timberwolf tw-6 or tw-7

    Thank you guys for all the replies! I think the 6 is a grand or more less than the 7. I am thinking the 6 is the way to go since i dont sell bundled fire wood. The cost scares me quite a bit but if they are built like they say they are i will own it for a very long time. How many cords of...

    Husqvarna 262xp questions

    once i get the the plate made for the intake i can do a leakdown test. I am half tempted to just tear it completely down and totally go through it. Ive never had one completely apart before so the experience on my own saw would be worth it in itself.

    Husqvarna 262xp questions

    Hmmm ok now im confused. are they govern'd carbs or no? Is there another brass jet along with the main jet? I havent looked at the carb yet to see what he was referring to.

    Timberwolf tw-6 or tw-7

    I have been looking into different splitters. We have a northern tool 37 ton vert/horizontal splitter right now. I want something that will process faster. I dont know if the firewood attachment, 4 way, or 6 way is the way to go but i know i split a lot of 30 plus inch wood. Does anyone have...

    Husqvarna 262xp questions

    I was unaware these came with governor installed carbs. Is there a carb better suited for this machine or does "tinning" the hole shut make it as good as any carb?

    Husqvarna 262xp questions

    I have not pulled the exhaust yet but i did look inside the spark plug hole. Cylinder has vertical lines but they look very very light. I will pull the exhaust and intake as soon as i can to get a better look at everything. Do you know what initial carb settings are supposed to be? I have...

    Husqvarna 262xp questions

    Thats what ive been hearing and why i was quick to buy one. I am going to order a piston and ring for sure. Probably a meteor from Baileys. I will also get a new compression release when i do.

    Husqvarna 262xp questions

    A few months back i bought a 262 off ebay. Nice little saw but it seems far too weak for what people are saying about them. I havent ran it much for fear of wrecking something. I tach'd the saw and it is running about 11,000 which is obviously too low. Problem is you cant get anymore out of...

    legit or not????

    i wasnt planning on purchasing just looking. Figured it was a too good to be true ad. I wanted more or less to see if this guy was known by anyone and if its a TOTAL scam or just overly optimistic.
