    Thanks! The rope probably is too thin.. The spool looked okay but will look at it closer. Thanks again for the advice!

    So, I broke my second pull cord lol.. any recommendations on cord? Went to lowes and there's was garbage.. Is there anything good online, or should I just go to the dealer? I'm frustrated, was able to start and tune, but it broke after I tried starting with the bar and chain installed :givebeer:

    So, I don't think it will take much to run, just not sure how much to get it to run well.

    I really appreciate all the feedback.. I am going to keep the saw, I have a 441 with a 20inch bar that I do most of my cutting with now. This has a 25" that I will most likely leave on after its up and running.. Cant wait to be able to post a video of it doing more then just getting berated...

    Husqvarna 288XP thoughts

    Hey guys, thanks for all the advice! I will make time to post some pictures. It's really not in great shape cosmetically. I rushed into the buy; live and learn. I'll probably just hold on to it and slowly rebuild it.. I like the idea of having a "big saw" but really don't have a need.. just...

    Hey guys, first time posting.. I have a 288XP that I picked up for $300. I got it running but it needs some TLC.. I saw a lot of people swearing by them on here, but really don't have the time right now to invest into getting it up to speed. Is this something I should hold on to, or part ways...
