The campus PD still dicks? I got a ticket running a stop sign by the library once on a bicycle.

Hell ya that cuts pretty good! How's the compression feel? Hard to say exactly but it looks like your chain is a bit too aggressive. Let the saw rev out a little more by taking a smaller bit.

Yeah she’s a little aggressive. But the compression is crazy high. Almost hard to start so I’m gonna make a D-Ring pull handle for it. Also removing the governor really woke er up.
With the 181 head and velocity stack and slightly enlarged muffler hole, it was cutting that wood in about 10.5-11 seconds with the same chain.
Now it’s around 7.5-8 seconds.

Glad I could help you build a fun saw! That's a good improvement.

 

[Will Kraemer]

Thanks so much man. You were spot on with all your numbers and she freaking rips now! Next saw will probably be my 357xp!

Just added the dual port so we’ll see if that helps out a bit!

It should, or at least make it sound badass

Go check out the “what’s on your bench thread”. That’s where I’m posting my progress pics on the 288

Too much Husky POWA!!!

Mo powa baby!


But wow never seen that happen

 

[Will Kraemer]

I’m running 3/8” .050” chain. And it was running fine in there. Is that the standard size that came on the 181 sprockets?

Did some grinding to get the top cover to fit. Then decided I wanted a second dog on the side cover so I made one. Mightttt have gone a little overboard with autocad and the plasma cutter.

The sawpocalypse has arrived!

Why wouldn't your top cover fit?

The velocity stack, decomp, and the 2nd exhaust port
