Husqvarna question "288's"

High-top Conversion

Randy,

The best place to buy the complete high-top "kit" is the dealer.
Pops21 on here has the part number. I bought the kit for my last 288 and it was about $50 for everything.
Not to bad IMHO.

And don't let LP worry you....he has a loud bark, but is harmless.:hmm3grin2orange:

V-stack Randy!! But dont cut up that nice decomp hole low top!!! Alex tell you that I sabotaged that saw, so he would sell it too me? hahah

You do seem like a feller that could bust an anvil with a rubber mallet.

And that's just what I will do Alex. This is a very nice saw and all new parts would set it off. Watch for the thread.

I wish I had looked and had known it was a "kit". I paid $50 for just the Top cover!!

Cowroy, you will get it, sometime's the saw that frustrate's the piss out of you to get right, may be the best. That was th road to my 2101, took me awhile to line it out, but wouldn't give it up for any saw period. Neal I was going to pm you for curiousity sake. Was wondering if you had it, and you know the answer, me want's it! How about the old barter system? Hm. Hmm? I only lack cash in life. Pac those ridges I don't know man, gotta be normal these builder guy's should know. Randy, or Neal maybe. Nice saw though. Randy congrat's on the 288 lite. Can't blame you High top is the only way for a 288 You going to build it, or leave stock? And for the bar topic on a 288, a stock one will fall big timber with a 42in, and no issue's. And 7 pin and skip good advise, because to me in big wood for any saw that makes sense, big bar, and wood 7 pin, and skip

Your not the only one. I looked at several dead end threads on the topic but none of them had the kit idea. :bang:

I don't recall those ridges on any of the 288's have been inside.

Norm, check your email.

Well yah. It didnt make much sense that they didnt "have" one. I just didnt look hard enough, plus the cover is $49.99, Intake Horn is $29.99, Filter is $29.99.

So the "kit" for $60 something is a steal! IMO

Now I just need to find the horn and filter kit for $30 and we'll be cookin with gas!

I need the Horn, because I really dont see how its worth 30 bucks!

If the 288 is anything like the 046, the larger better flowing air filter will be worth 500 rpm or so.

You better fix that starter rope bf it gets wrapped around you neck!

 

[little possum]

Haha, if I would have shown the clutch side picture. You would only see the crank laying under the cover Thats right after I got it and was cleaning it up.

Zach, whats up with the blue top cover? Certain year or special edition? Seems like i have seen a few other huskies with blue covers.

 

[chainsaw mike1]

Any one know off hand the preferred carb?
Appreciate the input guys!
Full wraps seem to be the difficult thing to find.
Been able to locate everything else.
Plan on using it for a firewood saw.

There is a very, very good chance i have a full wrap for them that i might part with to the right person!:wink: Im a stihl guy but the 288 is my go-to saw!

 

[mdavlee]

The blue top was an aftermarket high top setup if I remember right. It might be K&N.

That makes sense, would be cool if the whole saw was blue.
