Sold 288 XP #2

[aswan]

This is the second 288 XP I have for sale. Started life as a 281. Very nice set of cases that I had powder coated. Installed OEM bearings and seals. Has a new OEM fuel tank, wrap handle, muffler and clutch cover. Put a very nice used Mahle 54 mm p&c on it with a new caber ring. New fuel line, fuel filter, air filter and NGK plug. Deleted the base gasket and it made 150 psi on my compression gauge. Has a mint low top cover that I had in my parts stash. Has about 5 minutes of run time on it, I will try to get out and cut with it this week. Extremely clean, minty saw. $625 shipped to the CONUS

nice job on the powder coating.

Im surprised its only pushing 150psi, my 181se pushes at least 160psi bone stock.

It has no break in time. I'm sure it will go up after a few tanks, every saw I have put a ring in gains compression once broken in.

Looks good.
Would it be considered a 281/288 lite?

 

[aswan]

I guess. I built it off a set of 281 cases, so the tag does say 281. I have a bracket and spring for the front of the saw if someone wanted it set up that way.

Is the 281 case the same as a 181?

Nice, I was just playing anyway.
You put it out there right away that it was built with 281 cases, so I'm good with it, not like that helps much.

Other than the p&c there is no difference I know of between a 288 and a 281

I'm fine with keeping it if it doesn't sell. It's very nice

Flywheel side of 181 has a smaller crank bearing, at least the first 2 yrs of production did.
Take one side of each and they will slap together tho..
