I bought this a s a non runner, and wanted the challenge of fixing it. It's a 281xp crankcase with a OEM 288xp cylinder. Cylinder looked very good, piston looked worn, so I installed a Meteor piston and rebuilt the carb. Kill switch doesn't work, and the high idle position on the handle doesn't seem to hold. Note the damage to the clutch cover, chain brake works. It has one of those green foam stax air filters. 541 482 7739



So, that and the high compression make it challenging for an old guy to start. Restarts nicely. I don't have a bar for it, have not cut with it. Compression feels very good. You would be wise to do a vac and compression test on it before you use it
