Few more details: Dad gave me this saw, because it started too hard, and he bought one of their easy-start models. He got this one to replace the one he bought three years previous, which had new gas lines put in it after a year.
I haven't used this saw much, but it would idle funny with ethanol in it. It does seem to run a bit hot, but it runs steady and doesn't have the funky idle. I am going to try it in the boss' Husky 455 sometime, once that thing gets warmed up it won't idle and won't hardly start. It's been that way since about half way through its second tank of gas.
I need to get a muffler on my 288 and get a chain or two for it before I can try it. It seemed to run OK with ethanol.
Side note: Why is it when you tell the saw shop you want the good chain (which will have "72" or higher stamped into the drive links), they give you the cheap "42" stuff and tell you it's good chain? I think a warm stick of butter will hold an edge longer than that stuff. That's why I got the 28 inch bar, I didn't want to have to stop and service the chain every half tank of gas!!!
