288 lite?

[cuttinscott]

So just got a 288 lite in trade it has new cases installed by a husky dealer the saw has LOW hours but does seem low on compression 90 lbs. It runs but is not up to par. I am thinking the crank it hurt.. Any idea on what it is worth??

I'm not quite sure if I understand your post. Are you saying it has only 90lbs of compression and runs, but just not good? Also you think the crank is bad?

It starts and runs no problem... But it is not up to full power, It has a slight knock like a bad rod bearing would make. I am not too familar with husky 288 did they have crank issues?

Ok - does it have 90lbs of compression? At that low of compression its amazing it runs let alone having power
