OK Mike, here it is
That's a sweet Lite 288. I've cut too much with mine for it to look pretty... however it surely cuts pretty.Have one unaltered shelf queen and a ported xp beat-up/scruffy one to use, plus another that's still a saw-in-a-box I'm slowly scrounging parts for.
This one has rubber up front and all springs in the back.
Yup. They share most everything with the 390.Parts easy for the 385?

One thing about 288s is it does not have a throttle cable it has a arm. Mine was so worn when I got it it was not opening up but about 80%. Something for 288 owners to check. I had to add some material. Has anyone discussed the governed carb?
Do you have a thread on what is required to do this mod? Looks like you had to machine the case for the idle screw and some roller machining .
A 385 is much, much "tighter" feeling than a 288, yet vibrates less and is much smoother. Not a big power differenceWould a 385 be equal with a 288? I run my 288 with 24in bar and it surprises ya
...820/920 and 830/930 cylinder differences.
Sorry to diverge off topic. Here is the promised pic of the 820/920 and 830/930 cylinder differences. These are actually "8"'s, with the 820 on the left and the 830 on the right. I love this saw family. But unlike the 288's, parts are pretty hard to find.
