Hey all, im still relatively new to the site, especially posting here. I just got myself a 288xp and i have some questions. First i need to find a parts list and
or service manual online, free is best obviously. 2nd the saw has a 36 inch bar and chain which to me is just robbing the saws true power with such a long bar, and im only 5'8" or so anyway. Id like to drop to a 20 or 24 inch b/c combo and unleash the torque she has. Problem is this. Its got a .404 rom sprocket on it and id like to go 3/8 mostly because the majority of my saw and parts are 3/8. Do i need to just change the rim sprocket to a 3/8 or does the whole clutch itself need changed? Also whats the best techniqque to remove the clutch with impact wrench? Thanks for you answers/input in advance. im stoked to have this saw. Ive had a 257 and my favorite saw to date my 036 pro were stolen a few months back so its been hard trying to cut wood with loaner and cheap poulan/homelites ive had access to.
