All Things 288XP

The plastic is pretty rough but the rest is in great shape. It would look weird on your new saw, however View attachment 485638View attachment 485639View attachment 485640

Yeah, I would have to re-wrap it for sure. I will private message you. I really appreciate you looking for and finding this. Maybe we can still work something out.

I re-wrapped a Pro Safety 288 handle with Stihl tubing, it looked mint when I was done. I polished the bare handle prior to wrapping it and that seemed to help a lot.

Update. Pro safety full wrap and dogs came in. Ordered from Bailey’s. Reproduction blue Eliminator Performance Connection top came in and sourced reproduction decals for it. I have to 3d print an adapter for the throttle to solve the issue 288xp’s have that won’t allow full throttle. And I have to tig weld a stainless pipe to the muffler for a muffler mod. And then it’s off to be ported/timing advanced/machined/Dyno’d.

Nice. Where do I get one of those filter set ups? I spent an hour or so running a tank of fuel out of it recently and I really like this saw. I get the hype for sure.

It's a K&N with a filter adapter I made with the foam pre- filter , EBay has adapter's I believe, and just fit a filter to it ,

Husqvarna 181,281,288 Vstack Adapter

This Vstack adapter fits the low top intake elbow only. It will not fit the high top intake elbow sometimes found on the 281/288 Husqvarnas. The 181 came as a low top only. When you install this Vstack adapter, use the supplied nuts to secure it to the stock intake elbow. You can then fit any...

Uni also makes filters that will work. I have one on my Husky 2100. I did need to buy a velocity stack adapter, which came up to about $50 for both. That was cheaper than the dirty worn out 2100 air filters which were being sold on eBay for $100.
