288xp

Looking for a good 80cc or over saw, doesn't need to be running or beautiful either. I don't mind a project if the bottom end is good. Prefer husky and I don't care how old it is. Might be able to trade also depending on what it is. Thanks!

288xp. Runner for parts or finish resto. Unsure of year as tag is very worn. Early KS cylinder. Runs. Looks good through muffler port. Previous owner replaced piston and clutch side seal I was told. Just dropped off to me and I don’t need another project. Tank/handle is ok at best. Missing...

FS a very very very nice condition 288xp Lite that comes with an OEM Hi-Top and K&N filter with OEM elbow. The saw is all OEM with a new OEM piston & cylinder with mild porting. Basically removed all the casting flash to smooth out the transfers. The numbers from the factory were basically...

So I own 2 288’s among a few other 2 series , a 97’ I bought new and a 90’ Ks non decomp I revived. I recently bought an “OE” 2008 372xp. My question is... Do I keep the 90’ or the 372? I don’t “NEED” nor will I use to they’re deserved potential all these gems. The 372 as I said is recent and is...

Hey guys, I'm new to this. My brother - certified arborist, had a 288XP sitting around for too long (wanting to upgrade to a 395) and gave it to me to help clear a lot for a new shop I'm building. I had the thing running for about 20 minutes and it blew up. It needs alot of work. I imagine I'm...

So, as a rule- I was always a Jonsered fan from back in the 80's when I was first introduced to the red saws and bought my first one. Had handled Husqvarna saws, but liked the more square front handle alignment of the Jonsered better, so never saw the need to go down the orange track. All of my...

Hello Everyone, I would appreciate some help trying to get this problem solved. I have an old 281xp that has been sitting around for over 20 years that I decided to get running again. After giving it a few shots of fuel down the carb it fired up after 2 pulls. The original jug and piston was...

288xp by Carter Performance Wow! Wheres the big wood now

Hi Guys- This is a long shot but I'm after a high-top cover for 288. A local Arborist buddy wants me to build him a high-top saw for falling. I have cash or tons to trade. Thanks!

I’m sure this has been discussed, but I’m new and can’t find answers and would like some help. Does anyone know of any reputable businesses that will port an older saw? It’s time to rebuild my 288XP, so I’d like to have it ported also. Not interested in buying a new saw. Any suggestions? Thanks...

I have a 288xp I would like to use for milling. My current dilemma is rather I should just use 36" bar with it, which won't max out my 36" Alaskan. Or if the saw would be able to run a 42" bar which would allow me to use the full 36" of mill. I am worried I will be asking too much of the saw.. I...

Hey I just found out I was a member here at some point.lol anyways. I picked up this 288xp for 175.00 and it runs. Cuts like crap but the bar and chain is shot. And is missing most all the safety items, like chain brake, chain catcher, working kill switch. Haven't checked compression. I did find...
