I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
Its always best to rebuild the old original carb. The chinese copies can give you a lot of problems and it never really runs exactly how it did with the original. Even power can be influenced by bad atomization of fuel or fabrication defects inside of them that can slip unnoticed.
My local Stihl Dealer had exact same saw in 1984 for $350!!! Stihl Chainsaw Days included full case, extra chain, bar oil, and pump pen for bar grease. Best Buy I’ve made to this day, many cords of firewood fell to that saw. Still a prized tool I’ll never par with. Glad to see another back in service. Enjoy!!!
Cat's not deaf, it reacts for starting the saw. After that it gives zero fuc** to what the owner does. I want cat like that. Mine responds by running away if I sneeze.
Those saws was some of the best stihl ever produced. Really great saws. Thanks for posting love stihl gonna hit the like and subscribe. I think you can still get OEM parts from the stihl dealer
By no means am i trying to be a chain-saw snob , but i will NEVER , ever , ever , use after market parts on any of my stihl saws again. I live 78 miles from the nearest road , i did not say town. On two occasions i tried to replace the carbs and etc , only to have them crap out on me. Cheap china crap. I will only use OEM parts, no exceptions. Expensive as hell , but guaranteed to work. Out here i dont have the luxury of not having a running saw. Great video and very informative. From Alaska , Jason & Theresa
Yup, I must agree. Cheap Chinese crap can't be depended on. Although I do know quite a few people who ARE happy with their Amazon or Ebay parts. I prefer to spend the money on genuine parts .Like you, I live out in the boonies.
I’m a stihl certified tech and this is something that is way too common. You can start to melt the housing of the saw in just a few seconds with the brake on at half choke. Also some of these cuts felt really dangerous to me, really close to that upper quadrant of the bar where kickback becomes an issue.
Great job! I love your pace of work and relaxed style. Seems you were getting some bar smoking, so you may want to check the oiler. Best time to do that is when the bar is off. Fire it up and see if you are getting good oil flow.
Pretty honest guy, admitting that he would feel more comfortable with some documentation handy. If I did a video, I would be like Barney Fife and say things like "A course you got yer intake right here and that's where it takes in the air. And yer fuel lines are important too." I would be the biggest ham and cheese sandwich out there. Good video and a good job. Editing in that this is the first video I've seen in a very long time where the host has learned to say "has not run" instead of "has not ran". Congratulations on being able to speak proper English. You are a rare breed.
I can not stress enough how bad of a decision it is to replace a perfect OEM Walbro with a Chinese knockoff. It will not last. Voice of experience. Take the time to do it right and clean/rebuild the original. If it isn't salvageable, always buy an OEM replacement.
Yep, OEM carbs are the way to go. The reason why the diaphragm was so bad is because of ethanol fuel. Ethanol destroys rubber in time, making it less flexible/brittle. After a few problems due to it in my 2 cycle engines, I run nothing but Aspen now. A bit expensive compared to pump fuel, but it's well worth it for me. I never have to worry about the fuel going bad or leaving it in the tank for months
Pro tip: lift the bar while tightening the bar with the bolts. This way the bar doesn't go up while pressing down on the wood, which changes the chain tension.
Most of the old chainsaws that op end including carb...come into my shop don't run properly because people leave old gas sitting in them 11 months of the year and everything is full of fuel varnish or an old fuel line developed some cracks. Had a Guy bring me a box full of parts to an old 039. Told me I could have it in trade for $50 on a newer saw because the "authorized" Stihl shop at Ace hardware said it needed a whole new top end including carb. They charged hum $85 to get his swa back in a "Casket" The fuel line was cracked almost in half right where it attaches to the carb. I put the saw together, cut 1/4 inch off the fuel line...RAN LIKE A BOSS.. JUst because a shop is "authorized" doesn't mean they have any skills. It just means they sell a lot of NEW saws.
My 028 AV super "stihl" jams after 35 years of use and hundreds of trees. The new ones are pieces of shit now. Inherited 2 newer ones from my Dad and both won't run now. It seems i remember paying around $400.00 for my 028 AV Super way back in the 80's,it was made in West Germany
Jim G I too got a Av super 028. Dad can’t walk with out crutches so that thing is my duty to run now. I’m going to redo it like this guy soon. I have a huge oak to trim up
Nice video, keep up the great work. Hope you keep the old plug for an emergency. I'd suggest getting a couple new OEM filters and fuel lines for backup and maybe an air filter. Hope you were able to give the oil passages on the bar a good cleaning and blowing out.
Good one Wes - I've got some old saws that only ever get used once every couple of years, so the information is very useful. It would be great to see a video on chain oil pumps that are not working so well. 👍👍
Bought 028 Super new over 30 years ago. Got an 028 like yours salvaged from a fire still runs great. The bar was blisterd but straight and sprocket good. Bungee strap to tractor or skid steer.
You should be able to find the model number on the carburetor and buy a corresponding gasket and diaphragm kit either online or from stihl. It's tough to beat those factory carburetors and the kit is usually around $10
This video is inspirational. Am going to attempt reviving a neglected saw similar to yours. It has compression and that’s about it’s got going for it. Never worked on a Stihl before and your video really helps. Thank you for taking the time to show us. I ordered a similar kit on Amazon. Have to order new gas cap ( it might as well be absent). Found two tiny adjustment screws with no top that were threaded into the same length of dry rotted rubber tubing rolling around loosely in the air filter compartment. Can’t figure out where they go. We’ll see. Y’all wish me luck.
Good video. Love them older Stihls. Taking pictures is a great way to see how things were. Another I've heard about is recording the work in a video. Just play back & pause when needed. Many more angles than static pictures. ;-)
When cleaning a chainsaw/lawnmower/engine block, the dirt and muck will come off much better if you use the wife's toothbrush rather than a screwdriver.
Seems like every project is a bother when the shop is cluttered. Isn't it nice to have plenty of space and know right where the tool you want is? That thing sounded so smooth as soon as it started; I'm impressed.
When I read classic I was expecting much older. I'm a stihl mechanic, just got silver but been at it for a few years before I got here. . The other day I found an old stihl saw, massive 36" bar, manuel oiler, not sure on year but it is old. I'm guessing 70s. Going to try and rebuild it and use it down the line! Sounds like a fun project
question for who ever...My 28 wb has a thin vent line with 2 screws in it "why" and in just curls down next to the filter ..No hole in the backing plate like your 28av also noticed your line is cut or open???
My rule - if I open a carb it gets a new set of diaphragms, either Walbro or Zama. As far as Chinese carbs go - they are not that bad. Price has nothing to do with quality. I do pressure check every carb before I put it on a saw, oem or otherwise. It better hold 5# or I find out why before it goes on a saw.
Thanks for the vid. Very helpful. Just found this model on the side if the road and a Ibe never had a chainsaw so i didnt know where to start. What were you doing at 13:08 and 13:30? It was hysterical to see the car unphased btw.
Your Walbro carb is a lot better carb than that Chinese junk, imho. I would put a paper towel plug in that intake boot to keep crap out of the engine when using compressed air to clean out the carburetor area. The problem I have with Chinese carbs is most of them are squirrelly - the adjustments do not always work as intended.
Great video! It’s been some time since you posted but I’d like to say that I just bought a carb for my leaf blower and weed eater directly from Stihl. Both were about $35 and a tune-up kit with a spark plug, air filter and in-tank fuel filter was about $15...all Stihl OEM products. Both pieces of equipment run like new and the man at the shop (Ace Hardware) was very helpful! So if that knock off has quit you already try a Stihl carb! Thanks for the video!
I have an 028 and I've rebuilt it many times but the last time it was used I dropped/tossed/threw it (getting away from a rouge tree). Well it cracked the gas tank. I've tried different methods of repair. I don't think one can just replace the fuel tank on this thing without going down the rabbit money hole too deep. Thoughts?
I actually think this one is old enough that the carb is made either in Germany or the US. I pulled a carb off of a newer Husqvarna saw today and it had China stamped on it. I think with regular care and maintenance this one will last a good while. Seems to be built well.
I doubt that a 30+ year old carb was made in red China. I’ve used the HIPA carbs on Amazon. One worked, and one was no good so far. Sometimes you have to buy a few to get one good one.
Excellent video sir. I have run a Stihl 028 Wood boss since 1981 when I bought my first new saw. I now have 3 028's that I still run and work to keep them in good running order. The 028 series is not supported in the aftermarket with an overabundance of wear parts like mufflers and clutches, but other parts are plentiful. I have Chinese aftermarket carburetors on all 3 of mine and aside from some slight adjustments - they run great. In my opinion - the 0 series that Stihl produced were some of the best saws they have ever made. Thank you for the video - it is always good to see an old champ like that up and running again. They are slow and heavy - at least by today's standards - but "they don't make them like that anymore".
I agree Fritz , I worked for Stihl Canada for 17 years starting in the mid 80's and to me that time was when some of the best saws were being made , the 028 and 038 are still 2 of my favouries . My son has a few 028's as well that we restored along with some spare parts to keep them going.
Again another great video on fixing something yourself instead of throwing it out or having someone else fix it. I know I enjoy your videos and so does your followers so keep them coming!
Pro Tip: Use a lapel Mic on your person, Mount you mic on a surface that is not connected to your workbench, Or use a spring mount for the mic. Doing any of these three options will reduce / remove the horrid noises caused by vibrations every time you touch or move the saw around like you have in this video. You could build a spring mount easily enough (look up pictures of them and you can see how easy they are to make).
Hello I am Tony from Australia and I would like to ask you if you can help me ? I got two Stihl chainsaw O34 &O34 AV the 034 has a zama carb and works fine ... the 034 AV has Tillotson car and after many cleaning it doesn't wont to start The L&H 1 to 1--1/2 out ? Do you thing I should replace the carb with a ZAMA ONE ?
Excellent Video Tutorial and it will help to bring my 37 year old Stihl 032 (1st Gen Solid State Ignition Module) back to life. Problem: Pull cord only works when I take out the spark plug.?
Always check for compression first..it needs to be at 150 psi 140 and lower it will need a piston rings and cylinder ..compression , spark and then fuel..regular won't work on any single cylinder engine after 1 months time .. use super and you will NEVER have a problem with any gas powered tool as long as you use it every year... if you don't use something Every year like a generator you want to drain it and put some WD40 or any kind of lubrication in the gas tank and in the carburetor to keep them from pitting or rusting
If you use a good stabilizer in your gas it will still be good two years from now, but not with ethanol gas. I use premium non ethanol gas and Echo Red Armor @ 50:1 plus one ounce of Briggs & Stratton AFT stabilizer per gallon.
I use Super Power and a paint brush to clean up saws with, along with my air compressor. Carb cleaner or break cleaner can mess up the paint or plastic.
@@ElectronicMusicUnderground I use our local quarter car wash, after spraying down the parts with Super Clean. It is faster than getting out my big pressure washer. I then blow them off with compressed air and let them dry for a couple of days. None of my stuff has points. If they did I might do things, differently. During winter, I put the parts in my office over a heater vent. They dry out nice and fast - a weekend is usually sufficient. I break them down to their biggest pieces. I remove carb, muffler, coil, starter and block up the intake boot and exhaust port. I usually put a little WD40 into the intake boot beforehand. I leave the plug in. I do not want water getting into the cylinder. I spray wash the cases, starter, rear handle, top covers, sprocket cover - just about anything plastic or metal. I will tell you something I found on my 021. I pulled the cover on the rear handle and it was completely packed with sawdust. I wondered why the trigger was a little slow. Not any more - I cleaned it separately. You can eat out of it, now. Usually, the rear handle/fuel tank is one of the filthiest parts, along with the muffler area and the PTO side.
The poor old girl needs a new bar. She’d look amazing. I have one of these about a 1990 model year. Only ever seen about 25 hours of use. I think it’s a winter project to get mine running like new. She’s been hard to start as well. Thanks for the vid.
ii would have just cleaned the old one really good first.. just to test see if it helped. if it did it . if not ok no prob.. but 17 bucks.. good deal.. AND you can if need be use the diaphragms and such from the new carb in the old carb.. lol Its crazy rebuild kits cost almost or just as much as a new card. But in the end the 17 dollar carb works great..
I picked up a crash damaged 026 this week for $25. Couldn’t pass that one up. I have ordered a new AM gas tank for it. The worse thing was how filthy it was. It had sat at my local Stihl dealers for about 15 years. It was missing an air filter cover and the air filter was damaged. I have a new rear handle ordered for it and will put it on when it comes in. I figured it was a running saw when a tree fell on it and I was right.after I cleaned it up I squirted some gas down it’s throat and it runs. I am goin to connect it to a container of gas, today, to see how good it runs. I think it will do fine and the oiler may even work. I have a bar on it but no chain. I can put a bar an chain on it but just want to see how it runs before I take it apart to put the new rear handle on it. I also use Bosch WSR 6F plugs in all my Stih saws. I don’t run that Chinese crap either. To make it start a little easier, squirt a little two cycle down it’s throat and start from half choke.no way I am pulling a saw over 14 times to get it to crank.
Had a near brand new Husky come into the shop. GUy only had it for a month..Leaking jackup , non adjustable oilpump had failed. It would only run sitting straight up. Replaced the pol pump with...yes another brand new and probably useless Husk pump ...the mazing thing was there was almost 14 inches of fuel line coiled up inside the tank. The weighted filter had no room to move
sometimes soaking it liberaly with WD40 will soften them back up.. just a trick to try when you new card or carb kits has not come in yet.. some ppl soaked in brake fluid now that will really soften them up lol..
I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain.

Nice job. I picked up a 038 a week ago with "Made in West Germany" stamped on it, so 40+ years old. Starts and runs well.
Kako je nastelovan karburator, koliko je odvijen H i L saraf ?
Serijsko tovarniško oba šravfa zaviješ do konca, nato 1.5 obrata nazaj.
My 028 wood boss is from 1985. Nice old machine with 51,5ccm and 3,4 HP.
Im not a veterinarian but Im pretty sure your cat is deaf😂
It has the option to go to another place lol xD
The cats not deaf you can see it react to the sound
Cat's not deaf, it reacts for starting the saw. After that it gives zero fuc** to what the owner does. I want cat like that. Mine responds by running away if I sneeze.
I have 028 with original bar .
Mine is like new and is made in West Germany.
Greate video !
Nice! Thanks!
@@falllineridge I just picked up two of the original 028 WB's a few days ago and one of them still has the original bar from 1979.
Those saws was some of the best stihl ever produced. Really great saws. Thanks for posting love stihl gonna hit the like and subscribe. I think you can still get OEM parts from the stihl dealer
By no means am i trying to be a chain-saw snob , but i will NEVER , ever , ever , use after market parts on any of my stihl saws again. I live 78 miles from the nearest road , i did not say town. On two occasions i tried to replace the carbs and etc , only to have them crap out on me. Cheap china crap. I will only use OEM parts, no exceptions. Expensive as hell , but guaranteed to work.

Yup, I must agree. Cheap Chinese crap can't be depended on. Although I do know quite a few people who ARE happy with their Amazon or Ebay parts. I prefer to spend the money on genuine parts .Like you, I live out in the boonies.
I have an 028 an put a carb kit in it, absolutely love it,runs like a top an has been a very dependable saw for years for me.
Choke should have been on from the start ... Hard on the brake and clutch running it that long with the brake on ...
I’m a stihl certified tech and this is something that is way too common. You can start to melt the housing of the saw in just a few seconds with the brake on at half choke.

Everyone saying fuck china and I agree BUT THE NEW OEM CARBS ARE MADE IN CHINA ! So there's that !!!!!!!

I just rest end off bar on a 4/4 block and tighten nuts
How ironic, I'm working on a chainsaw for a friend of mine. Good timing!
I keep old tooth brushes for cleaning up around tight areas
You can’t kill this saw. Bought one in 1984. Still have it.
Stihl have it.
Good lord. If this is a " classic ", I guess my 045 is a dinosaur.
My 036 also must be a dinosaur
It's a classic as in it's a popular saw that's well known by a ton of people.
O
This make my 031 seem old. Which it is it was made in 1971. My grandpa gave it to me for my 18th birthday to restore and learn with
It is, lol! It's basically an overgrown 041. They were 75cc & would handle a 24" bar just fine. It & the 056 were sister saws.

We’ll see. Y’all wish me luck.
The little screws and rotted rubber hose were the gas tank vent line.
When the camera got sprayed and wet, I kinda had a flash back of my ex girlfriend from years ago. Thank you lol

Very true, my repair guy said the same thing stating he tried to revive a 028 with this same carb kit.
Said it was a grand failure.
I have 1 on my 026 cuz the tillotson wouldn't tune after I rebuilt it
Now put that cheap plug in it and let's see if it will run.
That would have been a great idea, Jerry. Shame I didn't think of it.
Never use Bosch plugs, juuunk, get champion or ngk only. I've had Bosch foul out after a few hundred miles more then once.

BTW like the screwdrivers all nicely laid out in the new tool chest, awesome.
It's so nice to be organized. Just hope I can stay this way.
@@falllineridge Good luck with that lol
You will use a Chinese carb but not the plug? Not trying to be argumentative, just curious.
Saw a couple of videos, and friend own one. I think gas power tools isn’t what I want. It’s that pulling on the choke gets me don’t want one
I have this same saw, but my issue is the oiler. It will not stop pushing oil excessively. Any idea why?
You're hired...got that thing humming and cuttin !
Somethings wrong with your Audio. My subwoofers are booming lol
In Ireland it has to be Japanese spark plug. It’s just the law of the land 😂😂
That’s pretty old my dad has one it’s a stihl chainsaw it has no chain break it’s way older my grandpa got it back in the day it still runs great

Did you try gorilla glue+baking soda?
I patched a hole after hitting the tank with another running saw. I used metal mesh and J B Weld....
Old good think
I have an 029 that I thought I killed. Turns out it was the exhaust screen was all carboned up. Still runs like a top. 👍
Nice!!
Love your cats!!
Where do you think the original carburetor was made? Yep China. I've had real good luck with the cheap carbs.
I actually think this one is old enough that the carb is made either in Germany or the US. I pulled a carb off of a newer Husqvarna saw today and it had China stamped on it. I think with regular care and maintenance this one will last a good while. Seems to be built well.
I doubt that a 30+ year old carb was made in red China. I’ve used the HIPA carbs on Amazon. One worked, and one was no good so far. Sometimes you have to buy a few to get one good one.
Awesome! I put one of those $17 kits on a stihl weedeater and it's been running for years. Hopefully your mileage doesn't vary. Lol.
Hope not!
Great video, thank you. I learned a lot about my Stihl.
I do hope that they are identical in quality as well.
Yeah, pls let us know on that one
What’s the aerosol that you used to clean around the carburettor?
Mine needs a new clutch and sprocket. I'm pretty sure it's still on the original ones...
I guess you should have used an NGK spark plug! 😂

Excellent video sir. I have run a Stihl 028 Wood boss since 1981 when I bought my first new saw. I now have 3 028's that I still run and work to keep them in good running order. The 028 series is not supported in the aftermarket with an overabundance of wear parts like mufflers and clutches, but other parts are plentiful. I have Chinese aftermarket carburetors on all 3 of mine and aside from some slight adjustments - they run great. In my opinion - the 0 series that Stihl produced were some of the best saws they have ever made. Thank you for the video - it is always good to see an old champ like that up and running again. They are slow and heavy - at least by today's standards - but "they don't make them like that anymore".
I agree Fritz , I worked for Stihl Canada for 17 years starting in the mid 80's and to me that time was when some of the best saws were being made , the 028 and 038 are still 2 of my favouries . My son has a few 028's as well that we restored along with some spare parts to keep them going.
I'm on the lookout for a decent 038 but they are rare. Seems like more AM parts are available for the 038.
Again another great video on fixing something yourself instead of throwing it out or having someone else fix it. I know I enjoy your videos and so does your followers so keep them coming!
Thanks!
Pro Tip: Use a lapel Mic on your person, Mount you mic on a surface that is not connected to your workbench, Or use a spring mount for the mic.
Doing any of these three options will reduce / remove the horrid noises caused by vibrations every time you touch or move the saw around like you have in this video. You could build a spring mount easily enough (look up pictures of them and you can see how easy they are to make).
I was looking for someone that posted about the table noise the mic picks up. And I'm not even 2 mins into the video!
not the cats first time around a saw
carburetor repair is another option ...
You are awesome I wanna work with you
I like say thank you for showing how and how get great parts without braking bank 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sorry - dass faule Bäumchen legt meine Oma mit der Nagelschere um ☺
Hello I am Tony from Australia and I would like to ask you if you can help me ?
I got two Stihl chainsaw O34 &O34 AV the 034 has a zama carb and works fine ...
the 034 AV has Tillotson car and after many cleaning it doesn't wont to start
The L&H 1 to 1--1/2 out ? Do you thing I should replace the carb with a ZAMA ONE ?
loved the video man! keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Excellent Video Tutorial and it will help to bring my 37 year old Stihl 032 (1st Gen Solid State Ignition Module) back to life. Problem: Pull cord only works when I take out the spark plug.?
2.6 ounces of oil to 1 gal of gas
“The only thing wrong with it is it just won’t run.” Yup, I’d consider THAT as being something wrong with it…only 🤣🤣
Glad you got it running again.
So, 3 years ago, how has the saw and repairs been holding up? If you were to do this for a customer, what would be the total cost? Thanks, great video
No idea on the cost, I don't do this for a living. The saw still runs like a top.
Choke works via the cover
I think its time for Elon Musk to design a safer chainsaw that does not require holding it? hmmmmmmm its 2021 know.. hmmmmmm....?
Always check for compression first..it needs to be at 150 psi 140 and lower it will need a piston rings and cylinder ..compression , spark and then fuel..regular won't work on any single cylinder engine after 1 months time .. use super and you will NEVER have a problem with any gas powered tool as long as you use it every year... if you don't use something Every year like a generator you want to drain it and put some WD40 or any kind of lubrication in the gas tank and in the carburetor to keep them from pitting or rusting
If you use a good stabilizer in your gas it will still be good two years from now, but not with ethanol gas. I use premium non ethanol gas and Echo Red Armor @ 50:1 plus one ounce of Briggs & Stratton AFT stabilizer per gallon.
Well done !!
I use Super Power and a paint brush to clean up saws with, along with my air compressor. Carb cleaner or break cleaner can mess up the paint or plastic.
@@ElectronicMusicUnderground I use our local quarter car wash, after spraying down the parts with Super Clean. It is faster than getting out my big pressure washer. I then blow them off with compressed air and let them dry for a couple of days. None of my stuff has points. If they did I might do things, differently. During winter, I put the parts in my office over a heater vent. They dry out nice and fast - a weekend is usually sufficient. I break them down to their biggest pieces. I remove carb, muffler, coil, starter and block up the intake boot and exhaust port. I usually put a little WD40 into the intake boot beforehand. I leave the plug in. I do not want water getting into the cylinder. I spray wash the cases, starter, rear handle, top covers, sprocket cover - just about anything plastic or metal. I will tell you something I found on my 021. I pulled the cover on the rear handle and it was completely packed with sawdust. I wondered why the trigger was a little slow. Not any more - I cleaned it separately. You can eat out of it, now. Usually, the rear handle/fuel tank is one of the filthiest parts, along with the muffler area and the PTO side.
Greatly done!!
The poor old girl needs a new bar. She’d look amazing. I have one of these about a 1990 model year. Only ever seen about 25 hours of use. I think it’s a winter project to get mine running like new. She’s been hard to start as well. Thanks for the vid.
oil hole looks stopped up
ii would have just cleaned the old one really good first.. just to test see if it helped. if it did it . if not ok no prob..
but 17 bucks.. good deal.. AND you can if need be use the diaphragms and such from the new carb in the old carb.. lol
Its crazy rebuild kits cost almost or just as much as a new card. But in the end the 17 dollar carb works great..
I picked up a crash damaged 026 this week for $25. Couldn’t pass that one up. I have ordered a new AM gas tank for it. The worse thing was how filthy it was. It had sat at my local Stihl dealers for about 15 years. It was missing an air filter cover and the air filter was damaged. I have a new rear handle ordered for it and will put it on when it comes in. I figured it was a running saw when a tree fell on it and I was right.after I cleaned it up I squirted some gas down it’s throat and it runs. I am goin to connect it to a container of gas, today, to see how good it runs. I think it will do fine and the oiler may even work. I have a bar on it but no chain. I can put a bar an chain on it but just want to see how it runs before I take it apart to put the new rear handle on it. I also use Bosch WSR 6F plugs in all my Stih saws. I don’t run that Chinese crap either. To make it start a little easier, squirt a little two cycle down it’s throat and start from half choke.no way I am pulling a saw over 14 times to get it to crank.
I'm curious if the spark plug that came with the carb works now!
Thanks I need to work on carb line and filter on an old Stihl I have had since 1979. It has not run in 15-20 years . No telling.
Had a near brand new Husky come into the shop. GUy only had it for a month..Leaking jackup , non adjustable oilpump had failed. It would only run sitting straight up. Replaced the pol pump with...yes another brand new and probably useless Husk pump ...the mazing thing was there was almost 14 inches of fuel line coiled up inside the tank. The weighted filter had no room to move
sometimes soaking it liberaly with WD40 will soften them back up.. just a trick to try when you new card or carb kits has not come in yet.. some ppl soaked in brake fluid now that will really soften them up lol..
Love those Chinese parts. Much better than the original junk Japanese gear.
Fresh fuel always works wonders,bad fuel is the main culprit in most cases
Stil 041av is good construction or 028av good construction ?
