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.

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!

Find an Aussie that's willing to exchange bars with you. Problem solved.

No, No, No . Just put the chain on backwards.

I try to use a chain with one cutter one way and one the other, then you do not have to change anything.

So let me get this straight.... if you flip the chain and run it backwards, you double the life of the chain??
