Swap meet...

[Arrowhead]

Looking for a decent looking square-top 029/ms-290 rear handle. Anyone have an extra?

Found a decent one... (pic makes it look nicer than it is)
The only issue is the crack in the pic. The half wrap covers it and the crack don't hurt strength of the handle.
If'n your wanting it, PM me your addy and I'll pop it in the mail tomorrow.

Spoke with Ed tonight and I'll be sending the parts out in the morning.

Time to face facts:
1 I live in kansas, few big trees.

2 I don't want to cut the big trees that are here. (cottonwood)

3 I'm getting older and the 288 isn't getting any lighter.

Anyway, looking to trade my 288 lite for a newer 50cc ish saw. 288 needs fuel line and probably a carb service by now. (been sitting about a year) P/c is in good shape, Powerhead only. I prefer the pro series saws.

Update. Sorry everyone who pm'd me, been working on my furnace all afternoon. I am currently in negotiations with the first fella that pm'd me, I'll let you guys know if that doesn't pan out.

I'm pretty sure that any Walbro off of a 10-series will work. The choke and throttle linkages are all the same. It's just a matter of (for convenience) lining up the needles to the seal on the side of the air box (if the saw has one, not all do). And it's nice to have a fully adjustable carb, not all are.

There are two issues that can come up.

1)Some saws have short needles and no pass-thru hole/grommet in the carb box. Putting a long-needle carb on those saws will require a swap to short needles.

2)Some of these saws have external idle speed screws that thread through the carb box. Others have the idle speed screw on/in the carb. A carb with the integral idle speed screw can be used on a saw with an external speed screw. Using a carb from an external idle speed screw saw on one that originally had a carb with an integral idle speed screw will net you a saw without any way to set the idle speed...

PM sent. The broken saw has plenty of miles on her, so that handle will be perfect. I have seen one other handle crack right there, and cannot figure out why. As you state, the wrap handle supports it so no real stress at that point :dunno:

 

[michale34]

does anyone have a wrap handle and a chainbrake for a 028 .

I've got a 10pk of .325" 9 tooth standard 7 spline rims (oregon). NOS, with some surface rusting, nothing major, just due to being stored in a shed without heat. brand new never used, just don't think I will have a use for them. Looking to trade for other saw parts (husqvarna), or open to offers if someone wants them. I'm in Eastern Canada

I can use those and I'm right across the puddle. PM sent.

Did you come up with a piston 028 super?

No I didn't. And I forgot. PM.

Puddle would imply liquid.

I've got some Oregon Gaugit tools, NOS. I think most of them are .020 and .030 gauge, not all shinny since they were sitting for a while, but never used. Open to offers if anyone is interested in them. In Eastern Canada

this one has the long hi and lo needles that go through a grommet in the carb box wall. it also has the external idle speee screw.
