I'm about to scatter my 181. I built the one I am running now.................. we'll just say that I need a better one.

It is going to be a stock appearing saw. For those that may not know that means an alky/nitro muffler saw (in the south anyways.)

It takes me a long time, but it just taaks too long to knock off three cuts now.

Keep us posted on how it comes along.
We have to burn gas in the stock appearing here.
There are a couple of shows that have a 90cc limit, ever had, or heard of anyone having any success with a 288xp?

Heck yeah. I would use a 288 for that class no questions asked.

Do they specify no power attitives and/or pump gas?

If that is my old saw be gentle with it.

The only additive they will let us use is the mix oil, and it has to be pump gas.
It makes for a little slower race, I just try to make up for it a little in the chain.:chainsaw:
I've got an old 288xp I bought new in 89, might be fun to try a little learning experiment on her since it's been retired for a few years. Maybe me and Romeo will tear into it before too long.

Check a map Fred, you can't get more east coast than mine.

You're right. Now I need one from south of the border. Thanks for the assist on the trifecta.

I'll admit to being a typical US American. Every place in Canada must be directly north of Chicago. I'll take my lumps for being stupid.
