problem with 281 xp

[Mike Dempsey]

thanks Gary. Think I will get 2 if I can

Check the old number isnt replaced by the new one or else you will end up with 3 fuel pipes you cant lose!! I tried to post the pic from the parts list but cant do it on ipad but clearly shows the moulded grommet.

Its a wee while ago now but that's where I got if from. Pretty nice bloke and good to deal with

 

he had a stack of them ours recently pegged it but is currently getting 288 barrel and piston great old saws

Its a wee while since has had any. Its a shame because I would get another. The compression on them is bloody horrendous. I have to put both my feet on the handle and pull the cord with my left hand. Got one for my mate and it is just the same, except he is an ex Royal Marine and he can start it without bother! Need to eat more porridge I suppose!

Got the correct part today from Jonsie, thanks Max for taking the time and trouble to get it right. Cant remember now as it is so long since I stripped it which end goes to the carb and which end goes to the fuel tank. One end is longer that the other and the ends are different diameters. Any help?

Got the saw working yesterday. Will use it properly over the next few days.

I found a print out in the workshop from a wee while ago, its from an American website , but it has all the original part numbers listed. Husqvarna 281 Parts List and Diagram - (1986-01) : eReplacementParts.com Funnily enough it has the fuel pipe listed as obsolete.
