Hello all, I have 2 older Stihl saws, an 018 and a 028WB. Neither runs well and our local small town hardware store who has always serviced them has told me that the carbs are bad on both and they don't recommend repair at this point as both saws are over 30 years old. I'm very happy with both when they run well, which they have mostly done while I've owned them. I've had the 018 for about 7 years and the 028 for about 5 years. I have 115 acres of trails to maintain and fire wood to cut for our own use. Since both saws are idle right now I just bought an almost new Stihl MS271, with less than a gallon of gas through it, (i was lead to believe, and I do believe it).
How can I get the other 2 saws in running order? Do you all recommend a specific carb? And then of course I don't know how to tune it. I can replace parts but I don't know how to and don't do any "service" maintenance on these.
Thank you!
