Stihl 028 AV Super - lost a bolt, need some assistance

[monaco]

I lost a bolt from my 028AV Super - the bolt that goes into the top rubber buffer (upper left of the main switch.)

I have no idea what that bolt looks like or where to find it. It doesn't appear to come with a new set of buffers.

Also - it now runs off and on without it, I suspect it's being grounded thru that bolt - can anyone confirm? My wires and connectors look ok.

Thanks gentlemen.

This is what you are looking for. I think the part number is 1118 791 6105.

1118 791 6105 will get you the screw and 1121 791 1200 will get you the retainer,( the winged washer part).

You guys are brilliant - thanks!

And ideas on what seems like a ground issue?

Without that bolt, the saw runs intermittently.

The kill switch is grounded by the wire connected to the bolt directly beneath your arrow. The bolt that holds your top cover on. Be sure that bolt is tight ( t27). I did just repair an 028 with your issues and it turned out that kill wire had rubbed through the insulation and was grounding to the metal on the buffer just above the arrow in your picture.

Thanks - I can see the spot. I'll have a look. Man those old parts are hard to find! Had to get 'em on ebay. Not real cheap for what they are either.

My local dealer has been able to get most of the parts I've needed. Recently put together an 041, circa early 1970s, no trouble getting parts.

I just moved... I need to find a local dealer.

How did the saw run after you put the wire back under the screw. I'm running into the same issue. Would you be willing to send in a pic of the wire placement?

The 028's had a problem with the insulation on either of the kill switch wires falling off because the tank vent bathes them in gas fumes. I've fixed 3 with intermittent spark because of it. Easy to re-wire (don't buy a new harness--make your own!)

Thanks, I'll get busy on the new ground. I think I'll post a video of the saw running, it's truly sad. haha
