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!!!
I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle th-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.
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.
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. 👍👍
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.
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!
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. ;-)
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Great video.i have a stihl 026 I bought in 1990.used it a ton and never gave me a problem.been about five years since last used and need to get running again.your video is just what I needed to see. Thanks
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.
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.
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.
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.
Good job , love the old 0 series saws . You might be surprised on the quality of the carb . Years ago my Sthil dealer replaced a carb on one of my saws and only charged me their cost , whoppin $15 . I'm bettin a lot of these carbs are coming from the same manufacturers .
I put one of those on the 13 year old Mantis tiller that I rebuilt and it worked fine, even the spark plug worked great. It had all the parts necessary to replace the whole fuel system. It cost about the same as the one you got.
I love that you cut the fat out of this! Most people that stay tuned already have an idea what they're doing, just looking for reassurance. Did the carb come tuned perfect? Bravo, nice watch, nose cut was added bonus, up & down a plus! Even a guy with too many saws, loves a refresher & the 3 year old fuel is nothing new to an old cutter! Thanks, enjoyed it!
I picked up an old 021 and a 029 Super recently for $75 for the pair. These things were so dirty with oil, dirt and mouse feces it was disgusting. They were in a barn and I doubt they ran in the last 10 years. I took them apart and cleaned them right down to last speck of dirt. Rebuilt the carb on one, replaced the other. Air filters, fuel lines, fuel filters, fuel tank vents, sharpened the chains... Both of these baby's rip some wood!
Great! I have both of these same saws bought new in 1993 and 1982, still using them today with minimal issues. Repairs include the clutch spring assembly on the 028 flywheel can break if it gets too hot it will freeze up the drive sprocket. The choke on the 028 can become a bit finnicky on initial start up. My 021 has not had major issues since it was bought new. The 021 is a rarity for the hp and the 16 inch bar length. It is light but powerful, use picco chains with no raker. Drain fuel from them if you store them for awhile, the mix can turn into grey puke if in your tank too long.
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.
I bought one last week for $25 and it's really beat up bad. It's like the guy who had it never cleaned it and I mean never. It was crusted and caked with hard saw dust and oil everywhere. The chain looked like he was trying to cut some boulders in half. I just got done cleaning the best I could in the field. All of my tools are back home. You are right about the carburetor it is very touchy but now it runs like a champ.
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!
Gas gets gaskets... Oh thanks for taking the camera off of the bench, it sounded like I was down a long tunnel. Rather than using the Gum-out for cleaning the outside of things I take a small container (cat food can) of mineral spirits with a tooth brush to clean off the gunk. Great video, thumbs up.
Nice Job i did try one of those amazon china carbs on a string trimmer i have with no luck. Tried one on a blower worked fine, its always a hit and miss sometimes with that stuff but for the price you have to take a swing at it. Enjoyed the video!!
I have that exact saw I bought new back in the early 80s. Only problem I have had is I have replaced the clutch springs 4 times. I do not slip the clutch but still cant figure out why I go through so many springs. Same with my Stihl FS85 weed trimmer.
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.
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.?
Great video. No need worryin'! That knock off carb will be ok, just keep ethanol out of it and it will last a long time. They are kind of hit or miss but if it runs good in the beginning, there is no reason for it to change other than moisture or corrosion...ethanol makes both very likely. Many Blessings!
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.
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
Awesome video! You got a great saw there! My 028 Super bought in '86 with me yet today! German built. One new kettle. Got boxes full a 51 and 55 Husky hulls parts. Years of building full scribe log homes saws get a work out. Stihl quit the 028 probably because they couldn't sell another saw once a consumer had that one! Got a West Virginia Beach 028 was a piece a crap. Parts for the German built 028. Glad you gonna rebuild the Walbro. Zama can't start a Walbro! Your film was awesome! NGK or Bosch plug for sure! Stihl got cheap and even put Autolite in their saws when they come state side! Can you believe that?! Yeah...the 028 and the 034 Stihls in my shop yet today running strong! The German built ones! Cheers and thanks for a great post!
Hi there from Scotland thank you so much for sharing your video it was really informative as I'm a newbie when it comes to chainsaws, I am thinking of purchasing 1 of these older saws instead of the new cheaper models that are out there at the moment is there anything you could advise me on what to look out for before I purchase one, the one I'm looking to purchase is £200 pounds sterling & looks in good condition is this a fair price ? Any help would be appreciated in this matter....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).
Excellent video . Wish I could do stuff like that . I probably would have taken it in and paid over $100 to get it fixed . Didn't know that you could buy separate parts like a diaphragm . Nice camera view at the end in slow motion with the camera going in and out .
Hopefully you can answer my question but I have one that my grandpa had and after a few minutes of using it to cut wood it seems to get real hot and smoke a lot and wasn't sure what could be the reason
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.
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.
@@Underground-Electronic-Music 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 028 AV was made from '70-'80 & the newer versions were made until '90. They were made in 43cc & later in 47cc. As far as I'm concerned the smaller 1s ran better altho both versions had a habit of the crankshaft breaking next to the seal on the PTO side. It's thought that bearing vibration was the culprit. Seen several that way. Stihl musta sold several million of those.
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 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!!!
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.
I bought a 028 super back in the 80's. She's been a good friend ever since. Thanks for putting your girl back in the game. Great video Sir.
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.
I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle th-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.
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.
You can’t kill this saw. Bought one in 1984. Still have it.
Stihl have it.
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.
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. 👍👍
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.
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!

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. ;-)
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
Thanks for the video, I have the same saw, and I feel confident that I can get it operating better by completing the carb and filter swap out.
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.
Glad you got it running again.
Great video, thank you. I learned a lot about my Stihl.
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!

The little screws and rotted rubber hose were the gas tank vent line.
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.
Bar, not blade.
@@clintraley856 thanks, English is not my native language.
@@qinz1695 Not a problem! I can tell you knew what you meant to say lol. You had some good advice!
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

Greatly done!!
“Good Bosch plug”
My feelings.
thanks buddy liked the vid (just subscribed ) regard from isle of man.

Been a while, but I think it was tuned pretty much perfect. I don't use it much, but it's still going strong.

I have an 031 which was built in 71. My grandfather gave it to me to fix up and learn with.
That's cool I love old saws. No fun to operate compared to the new ones but very cool
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.
loved the video man! keep up the good work.
Thank you!
I bought one last week for $25 and it's really beat up bad. It's like the guy who had it never cleaned it and I mean never. It was crusted and caked with hard saw dust and oil everywhere.

Great job buddy😊
I like say thank you for showing how and how get great parts without braking bank 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
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.

I'm not believing this - Stihl RAPES their customers for repair parts.
That was my saw when i would cut wood with my fatjer as a teen in the late 80s early 90s, wow I'm going to search his storage now 😃😃
Yay !! It works. Well done. $17.00 and fifteen minutes and that chainsaw is as good as new !
Not a bad deal! Took more than 15 minutes though!
Great video.thanks for sharing
Thank you, Charles.
Have the same saw… mine a 1987…replaced the same stuff… runs great… that old wood boss is a hoss!
I have an 024, gonna order my carb kit,and give it a shot
Gas gets gaskets... Oh thanks for taking the camera off of the bench, it sounded like I was down a long tunnel.

You are correct. I'm 2 for 2 so far with the Chinese carbs. Thanks for watching as always, Paul.
Nice work

It has the option to go to another place lol xD

They are kind of hit or miss but if it runs good in the beginning, there is no reason for it to change other than moisture or corrosion...ethanol makes both very likely. Many Blessings!
Nice Video. I have a 032av which is hard starting. High compression. Any thoughts on how to remedy this issue?
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!
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.
I had to replace the coil pack and the carb on mine had to use farmertec bits but she is good as new!
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
That saw is mint... nice
Yes it is, ran it some today, it was a pleasure.
Good vid. What's that jig ur using to sharpen ur chain?
Not just me then who has that problem, trouble is when your busy................ even the wife will come in sometimes and sort out the mess!!!
I'm curious if the spark plug that came with the carb works now!
Awesome video! You got a great saw there! My 028 Super bought in '86 with me yet today! German built. One new kettle. Got boxes full a 51 and 55 Husky hulls parts. Years of building full scribe log homes saws get a work out. Stihl quit the 028 probably because they couldn't sell another saw once a consumer had that one! Got a West Virginia Beach 028 was a piece a crap. Parts for the German built 028. Glad you gonna rebuild the Walbro. Zama can't start a Walbro! Your film was awesome! NGK or Bosch plug for sure! Stihl got cheap and even put Autolite in their saws when they come state side! Can you believe that?! Yeah...the 028 and the 034 Stihls in my shop yet today running strong! The German built ones! Cheers and thanks for a great post!
Nice bro👍
Hi there from Scotland thank you so much for sharing your video it was really informative as I'm a newbie when it comes to chainsaws, I am thinking of purchasing 1 of these older saws instead of the new cheaper models that are out there at the moment is there anything you could advise me on what to look out for before I purchase one, the one I'm looking to purchase is £200 pounds sterling & looks in good condition is this a fair price ? Any help would be appreciated in this matter....Thanks
i got my 028 wb missing air filter cover. will any other model interchange with it? i can't seem to find one for it. thanks ron
Good video nice guy
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!
Awesome
Excellent video . Wish I could do stuff like that . I probably would have taken it in and paid over $100 to get it fixed . Didn't know that you could buy separate parts like a diaphragm . Nice camera view at the end in slow motion with the camera going in and out .
Hopefully you can answer my question but I have one that my grandpa had and after a few minutes of using it to cut wood it seems to get real hot and smoke a lot and wasn't sure what could be the reason
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.
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.
@@Underground-Electronic-Music 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 028 AV was made from '70-'80 & the newer versions were made until '90. They were made in 43cc & later in 47cc. As far as I'm concerned the smaller 1s ran better altho both versions had a habit of the crankshaft breaking next to the seal on the PTO side. It's thought that bearing vibration was the culprit. Seen several that way. Stihl musta sold several million of those.
What’s the aerosol that you used to clean around the carburettor?
File the rakers down a little so it actually makes a chip not dust lol
In Ireland it has to be Japanese spark plug. It’s just the law of the land 😂😂
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.
What type of cleaner are you spraying with ?
This is my saw..rebuilt 3X and I still cut with it.
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???
what size are the nuts holding the carb onto the body?
what model are your shoes? Look comfy.
