Exactly. Wait till the Bigfella opens the PM I sent him :hmm3grin2orange: 62 is about right

Thanks R2D for the PM. 62 steps I thought I counted 65. Anyhow, appreciate the assistance.

On another note, the saw goes well (2100), just will not switch off as the coil is on its way out. Chainsaw shop guy informs me this is an issue sometimes when the switches will not switch off. I have now bought about $50 worth of different switches of sorts and when they are connected and tested with a multi-meter the circuit is not broken when switch in off position. Talk about becoming short circuited. I blew a fuse today myself.
 
So indeed it is the coil? Not the kill switch?

Apparently so. I have a spare, was working and switching off when saw was running 12+month ago when I pulled it down for spares. Just in the process of making a plate to use as a puller to remove both flywheels. I am determined, but patience is not my best aspect and got short tempered and cranky trying to make something out of nothing with not many precision tools to do it.:censored:
 
ground?

bigfella- i had a break inside my kill wire. check the switch for ground and when you get the flywheel off clean and tighten the coil bolts so the ground is good there too. mine worksc fine now. good luck.
 
the ground wire is very small gauge, mine wore through where it goes into the carb box just from the vibration of the saw, just choke it to kill the saw.

Unfortunately i have fitted a Walbro of a husky 394 and the choke is not present as i have discarded it. Looked at putting it back in, but the lever difference does not work so easy. At this stage I am going to try the new other coil as the kill wire on the current coil has the coating all cracked from heat. Problems, problems. I wish I knew what I was doing. Would make fixing easier.:confused:

I hear you, I am a duffer myself and occasionally I can lead a blind cow to water.

If it went smoothly, you would never get to see a wrench defy gravity :rock:
 
I agree Alyn, and friends who said kill wire, great idea and point. As coils usually not intermitant, correct? Here is my new toy, now I have 2 of them.
 
Very nice Norm

Now I need a 288xp :bang:
 
Thanks guy's I love it! Always wanted one, now have two a runner, and one that needs p&C. It has seen some hard times, but over all not bad shape, good thing they made em so tough. P&C some scoring, not too bad mild. Comp is good to the pull, but not super high. Plan is to run it it is still real strong, get the other rebuilt, then when needed P&C for this one. But who knows 288's don't die easy! Cary I know them holes LOL! I coulda done without em! Someone put a K&N on it, guess they figured the holes would help oh boy.:msp_biggrin: Scott I always thought they were bad ass myself love em! Mike yep been there, won't be happy till u get one, I wasn't. It was the one saw I lacked that woke me up at nights.
 
Some days I wake up and think, all I want anymore are the muscle saws, then I realized the smallest saw I have is 70cc, and only one a 372. I keep for firewood. I definately have a love, and need for 87cc plus!:msp_thumbup:;)
