That's right! Mr. Jonsered 2188 arrived at here this evening. I didn't think it was going to show, but Brown Santa finally showed up at almost 7:00 PM this evening.
I had bought another new 390XP, planning to let it wear the piped and 2-piece head setup. But, before I had a chance to do anything with it, I got to toying with the idea of replacing it with a 2188, just for something different. Lo and behold, someone asked for a new ported 390XP, and the rest is history.
I'll probably never run the topend that's on it. I will be building the bored and replated 56mm topend on this saw, so that I can directly compare it to the stock bored 390XP. When I'm done with that, the plan is to dedicate this saw to the piped setup.
