Sold Husqvarna 288XP Lite

[jrsdws]

Selling this fairly clean beast Husky 288XP Lite. I picked this up locally a few weeks back and have finished cleaning her up and ready to move her to a working home.

This big monster runs strong and oils like mad. The cylinder and piston look great and you can still see the machine marks on the piston. She's blowing about 175psi on my gage. Thank goodness for the decomp top end.

Overall it's pretty clean with no major defects. It has some normal battle scars for a saw this age and is missing one screw from the starter cover.

Asking $550 shipped OBO to lower 48 PHO. Paypal gift or money order.

Someday when I grow up I'm gonna buy me a 288xp. I've never run one, but something about that model just screams at me "buy me and take me home". I can't explain it. Nice saw and good price!

Ive owened and ran alot of ported saws and of all the ones I have had- my 288 is my favorite. Means the world to me and I will NEVER part with it.
