She only has 3 believe it or not!!!! hmmm we do live in san diego so she only ever wears flip flops. one pair of running shoes 2 yrs old but like new still go figure and some combat boots.haha
Used the saw for the first time today. WOW I love it. It was only a Boxelder tree but it cut like butter with that saw. I just let the saw do the work hardly had to give any effort.

Fixing to start another 281/288 build. What do you fellas think, use the thick ring piston or thin ring? At one point Id like to build a race saw with a tuned pipe. Thought maybe the thin ring would be better for that than a work saw?
It will only be a 81 cc saw instead of the 88cc, but how many of the same thing do you need

Zac I looked at the P/C on my 181 and she has 2 thin ring's ain't had the muff off the 281 so i am not sure what she got.

I just built a 281 a couple months ago (Thick ring), and if I didn't know better, I would swear it was a 288 (And a strong one at that) when I was cutting with it....
I think there's a bit to gain from using an early 181se cylinder that originally used the thin ring piston, as it has a bit smaller combustion chamber.....If you've got a thin ring piston and rings, I guess run it, but from my point of view it's just too hard to find rings for those these days. The thick ring pistons run strong anyway!

Ive got a 281 piston and cylinder Ive had for a while. (Im a hoarder) And then just picked up a 181 that was missing some parts, but I knew it had a good piston and cylinder.
So I have the choice of either one... Maybe I just have too much junk!

Never too much junk!!! A fella should be able to bathe in spare pistons and cylinders like Scrooge McDuck in his money!:tongue2:

I would use the 181 cylinder over the 281. The 181 is much higher quality being made by Gilardoni as opposed to the Mahle 281 and supposedly has a smaller combustion chamber. I have a take off here that came with a 2 thin ring full circle windowed piston. When I took it off the stock saw it was blowing 160psi and I don't think it have a decompression valve.

Cuttin to live, livin to cut
066 piston works well also. Popup and 215 on the comp gauge. Runs well.
