Bryce Frazier said: (quoted from post at 14:23:53 11/21/14) Come to think of it, when I first got my Husky 288XP, the guy I got it from was a cheap old buzzard, and he was running it on E10 and cheap 2 cycle oil, and 10-30 for the bar oil (bar kept getting super hot on me)
I switched to certified non-ethanol from Co-op and I have been running StarTron in the fuel, and I think that the saw has doubled it's power...
A local saw guy has been trying to convince me to have him buy this little kit and let him bore some holes in the muffler, says that it will give it some more power, like putting headers on a car? Any of you guys heard of this? Said that the total cost to me would be about $35?
If you want to look into the mods, called "woods porting", check the chainsaw section at arboristsite dot com. It's sort of like adding a straight exhaust to your hot rod. There are downsides, at least theoretical downsides. I've never tried it on purpose, but have run some saws with bad mufflers that mimic the porting. They do tend to run like crazy, but you need to tune them so you don't get a lean burn condition and you have to ensure you don't create a way for the saw to suck crap into the jug. That happened on one of the saws I was running. A sad end to nice little Homie.
