I put the 338XPT (in semi tear down)away for a next winter project. It appears my T536 LiXP battery saw has replaced it. Getting spoiled with that little torqy saw. Just squeeze the trigger and go.
I'm back! Hahaha.
3 years later I got around to getting my old 2009 338XPT running.
Last night I tore the saw right down, wasn't so bad. Still took a mad scientist to design that saw though. Great design how everything fits together like a tidy jigsaw puzzle.
I fixed the stripped plastic carb mount hole with a 5mm Heli coil insert. Then put a regular 2" long cap screw in.
I  rebuilt the carb, pulled out the aluminum H L screws limiter plug. (Yes earlier I thought it never had a limiter because I was still able to get a small screwdriver in the tiny slots).
Put it all back together,  set the screws at 1 turn and it runs perfect, just rips with the previous muffler mod. Got a young arborist who is going to buy it today.  I hate to see it go but hopefully in the near future he'll buy my business out and I can go on with life while I'm ahead now that I'm 63 still with all my fingers ;D
Making a living with a saw since age 16.
