Best place to order quality parts for stihl, on a budget....suggestions?

[John C]

I am in the process of fixing 3 Stihls...i am looking for suggestions on where to get the parts i need at a good price without sacraficing quality. Any help would be appreciated. Below i will list the saws and parts i need.

1---028 WB: points delete or someone told me a coil from an MS 290 will bolt right on...whatever is cheaper.

2---024 AVS: piston & cyl w/gasket, wrist pin w/clips, and bearing, carb rebuild kit, flywheel, either points delete or if you can get a coil upgrade...dont know if they do.

3---032 AV: rear handle AV mount (long bolt that acts as AV and holds the handle on)

All are obviously older saws...the 024 is mine. Its my first complete tear down and put back together. Got the saw for free because the piston was scored. It still ran but decided it would be a good saw to learn with. So far so good. I am far from a pro. I know the basics. Any suggestions and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. The other 2 saws i am fixing for friends. I am not new to chainsaws, just new to major repairs/rebuilds. I have never once asked a question on AS and not had it 100% answered and learned something new. This website is by far the best tool i have ever found, especially for someone who has a lot to learn yet. I cant believe the collaborative knowledge of the members here. Anyway, thanks in advance.

Labonville is in your neck of the woods. Baileys has saw parts via their call in/online ordering. If you can't find what you need, give them a call, they have way more stuff than they list in either the catalog or the online site. Good luck with your repairs.

Try ebay for parts. I've found that I can order parts and have them delivered for less than the local places want for them.

Site sponsors Northwoodsaw and Chainsawr have both been very good for me. Chainsawr sells good used parts and will do their best to help you.
