Mod to a Sthil 028 super

[Canthook Coasty 2]

Since I am "new" again I thought my first topic i post should reflect that.

I have a Sthil 028 super that I'm thinking of hanging a 36 inch bar on and running .404 chain through. Do i need to do anything to the chain oiler or will that keep up? I'm also planning on running straight methanol cause I saw it on YouTube.

Nah, you good. Keep going.

Thanks! I also saw a guy on YouTube who used old motor oil for chain oil.

That guy was a fraud. Use it to mix your fuel. 1:100 is enough. Chainsaws are two strokes, not four strokes, so you can half the oil ratio.

I would drop a couple sizes in saw. The weight savings would be worth it.
And make sure you take those rakers down!

Oiler will only work with a muffler mod and base gasket delete for a 36/028S combo.
Probably better to weld 37 plumbing elbows together and make a pipe muffler- but a heavily modded factory muffler should work if you grease the muffler bearings daily.

Thanks for reminding me to grease my muffler bearings

Rakers are for sissies.

I would call it Piltz.

I thought that guy was fake, he had gray hair but all of his fingers. There are no old chainsaw gurus that have all their fingers, unless they keep them in a jar.

Still haven't found that black 2 stroke oil a guy clamed he was using for mix- oil tank had old motor oil in it too

Don't forget to go up to an 8 tooth sprocket for more chain speed.

I don't know what that is, like a bicycle sprocket?

Yes sir, here's a picture:

....but then I realized, what an idiot I am! I forgot to mention you'll also need a .404 pitch sprocket!

I was told to flip my bar every so often as to extend bar life and cutting experience..... Now I have to cut everything upside down and get a face full of chips!

Man..... saw life!
