Got my 288xp NOS KS cylinder!

[Porkgasm]

So I was up late on night and saw this in eBay for $125.00 I think I got an alright price. Now do I keep it stock or port it for my 288. Seems like a shame to cut up a new cylinder. Oh well at any rate enjoy the naked too end pic. Does anyone know the going rate for these cylinders in like condition?

That's a rare find! I personally would hate to cut that one up as they get real tough to pull over with no decomp. If one wants to grind on a cylinder, IMHO just get an AM and go to it.

Value... I have no idea.

I have a mahle and a ks non decomp both have around .030 squish, both stock, but the ks is way more peppy. Stock the ks has more "fun to run" value.

The current 288 replacement cylinder from Husqvarna is a KS drilled for a decomp, retail is just a tick over $200.00 as of 09/2017

I wnt state the dealer price on the oem kits but it is a very good deal, 395xp is even cheaper by almost 30.00

I get dealer cost on my parts, gots connections, they let me put my own orders in the computer, same deal on Dolmar, no luck with Stihl.

My dealer is a total @$$ and everyone knows it.

Ooh that is a pretty sweet deal there on the dealer cost. I got into the 288 with a ragged out missing parts screwed up low compression for 175 on CL to make about 12 cuts in a 3 year standing seasoned maple that my ms310 wasn't liking to cut.
Even in the poor condition that 288 did the job so I ended up keeping it and now with a almost pristine used KS cylinder new piston and ring and the right parts its a joy to run, now i want more. That is my first pro saw ever and I see why pro saws are popular even the old ones.

Just picked up a high top 288 300 year anniversary. Has ks jug. But I think it read 149 1a or 2 a. What’s the differences? Or do I need to clean and read it again?

I would ASSume the “A” is the piston designator. If that’s the case, Just make sure you use an A or AB piston.
