A wile back I picked up a 288xp from an old co-worker. I paid $225 in running condition but needing a clutch cover and chain brake assembly. After replacing those parts I put it to work but the saw has kind of been nickel and diming me, seems every time I work it something breaks and I'm once again hunting for parts. Today I was playing around with my compression tester and for giggles decided to check the 288 out, much to my surprise the spark plug had been put in with rtv and as it turns out the threads in the cylinder head are shot. So now I'm stuck with a hard decision, do I replace the p&c with an aftermarket unit or do I cut my losses and part this saw out. I love these old saws but sometimes the idea of grabbing something new and being able to just go to work with it are appealing too.
That being said, if I decide to rebuild it can anyone recommend a reliable replacement p&c?
