Help with "hi top"

[angelo c]

Guys. Been searching for an elusive "hi top" cover for my 288xp as mine was decapitated in its former life. It was mentioned to me that what I have on the saw currently may be a 395 intake runner and may NOT work with the hi top as the saw sits currently. Meaning I may need to locate the proper intake as well as the "top"
I dont know Huskys well enough and this is the only 288xp I've ever personally held


So... do I have the correct intake and filter set up for the hi top ?

You have the correct filter neck and filter. The 395 filter neck doesn't have the drop bracket and the 395 filter is more square and squishes against the cylinder.

As Shaun said your filter neck is correct. But your filter looks over sized too me, wider than normal. I will snap a pic of mine shortly and post for you to see

You’re probably fine on the filter Angelo, haven’t looked at mine in a while and it is of similar size and shape.

Good deal.

Yeah, it's the correct filter. The high-top cover and HD filter were designed to be a snug fit with one another so that the
filter didn't have a chance to rattle around as much and develop cracks in the body of the filter near where it mounts to
the filter neck.
