Can’t beat the old 288 good saws of the day. Every man has a few things in common. Condolences for you and your friends family. The soul going to God is like a tear drop, allowing its way back to the sea
Those molded fuel lines for the early 288's are still available, (for now). But the newer 372/390 fuel lines can be used by combining them with the tank grommet that is used on the 51/55 and a whole slew of other models. This is a good solution on a lot of other saws that use the molded, and more expensive fuel lines. A LOT of models/chassis that started out with molded fuel lines switched to a straight fuel line by the end of their model runs. 288's just being one of them.
It's good to see you again, very informative with the difference of the 200 and 300 series. One thing about the longer bolts holding the carburetor on the 288 was it's very difficult to remove the carb without popping off the cylinder. Thanks for the video.
Hey Walt. Always enjoy your videos. You have a Kolbenshmidt cylinder on that 288. They were a factory supplier for Husky along with Mahle. They are good stuff. The symbol is a K with an overlapping S on the side of the cylinder. Have a great day!
Kolbenschmidt is 1st. class stuff...and that saw came from the factory with it. Good idea would have been to pressure test it before taking off the cylinder.
Not really, just going to waste the time doing that, I always just replace the seals on a saw that age then after the build will do my typical pressure / vac test to make certain it goes out the door solid..:)
Those 288 s are tough old saws, guy that cuts with me uses an ex army olive green one it has serious compression! You have to be committed when starting that thing or it will RIP your arm off 😂Amazing that it's still in commercial use 4 or 5 days a week. Sorry for your loss Walt.
Another brilliant and informative video Walt. I'm looking forward to being able to fire mine up and get cutting in a week or so now we have finally had rain where I live in Aus.
hat buddy I been checking out your channel for a couple weeks. I thought it was awesome seeing your top 5 pics for jonsered. im in the process of closing a deal for a ex jonsered dealership. I understand in your videos you said it was hard finding part for these saws. well you inspired me maybe this will be some interest to you. let me know maybe we can pass phone numbers.
WAlt just got 930 super good shape chain brake don't work think need s band don't have one it all there except that needs cleaning good shape thank you hope hear u
Thank you Walt! Another well thought out video and on this occasion a poignant one too. Sorry to learn that your friend passed away. Did he build model engines?
He was a boat person and an engineering talent that never stopped...right to the last. Our shared hobby was building boat motors and rejuvenating his camp.
@@afleetcommand hay buddy do you have a handle bar and chain brake cover for a 670 super I recently bought out a dealer maybe we can do a trade my email is jtbeekeeping@gmail.com
Need help! Just bought a 365 for a tree job on my property about 25/30 60-90 footers hence the reason for a 24 inch bar. In addition I have a 455 a couple poulans and a 271t I believe it is climbing saw an echo. The compression on the 365 is 110 cold I took muffler off and noticed some scoring on ex side of of piston and can hear the crank bearings I wanna rebuild it with few mods can I get a factory cylinder? Do you have any for sale or do you sell any aftermarket ones? Thanks
I have a whole pile of 372 build videos...a 365 is either the "Special" Original edition that essentially is a OE 372 saw with a 48mm cylinder so everything applies. OR its a new X-torq and all my 372 X-Torq videos apply.
I know, i feel sorry for u all getting stuff voted n on u all from new york city and the big other liberal citys. We r getting that problem here due to raleigh durham charlotte.
I have an ms660 56mm cylinder that I got off a set of cases, weird set up, split piston rings, has embossing on the cylinder like it’s oem, I already asked Matt about it and he has no clue said to talk to you, anything you can help with ?
The Chinese AM cylinders were that way when I first started this thing. Copied markings and those goofy rings. They ran OK even with the freeport geometric issue they ALL have. Could have come from any number of places as most are distributors who don't actually manufacture anything....and back then it was ( still is to a certain extent) a crap shoot as to what the true manufacturing source was for those cylinders from most of those resellers. There were and still are many sub-contractor type manufacturers of that stuff. If that saw ran and the cylinder is still good....who cares! Run it. Or use it. One thing I would NOT do is use OEM or Caber quality rings in those AM cylinders with the lessor quality plating. Will peel them faster that the junk rings. Stick with cheaper & softer rings as they came with.

afleetcommand it’s an xp which cylinder and piston do you recommend? Thanks
Build it into a 372 same weight more power.
Austin Denotter I thought about that and taking the 2 ring piston and only putting top one on, that’s what I do on 40hp hooped up Yamaha outboards
Kolbenschmidt (ks) cylinder, that's an original Husqvarna. its just like Mahle an German company
Of course it was KarlSchmidt back then but yes, alternative OE supplier with Mahle.
@@peterelvery I only know that company as Kolbenschmidt, and I can't find evidence that it used the name Karlschmidt
Enjoyed watching you as always
