I've only run 1 tank of gas through it so far. I had to take the front of the muffler off to tighten up a bolt and it looks good so far.

Please tell me you cut some wood with that tank? I know you said it was going to be a shelf rider but if you put gas and oil in it I hope you at least cut with it?

I've been bitten by that same "starter cord too long snake". Only 6" too long will do it.

You and I both have a beautiful saw, but yours is cleaner than mine was when it left the factory 15 years ago. Let's keep them for awhile and show this Forum what they can cut and produce.

When are we going to see the pics with the new awesome recoil tag on it?

I'm still waiting for the tag to show up from the land down under....

Oh ok didnt know it was coming from down there! What camera you using for your shots? They are awesome!

It's a Canon Powershot SX160 I think. It does a good job.

The "Made in West Germany" nameplate arrived this week from Australia... A big thanks to WheresWally!
So here are the final pics. It turned out better than I imagined when I started this project and it runs like a banshee.

Thanks to everone that followed along, commented and gave advice. I'm looking forward to my next rebuild project.

Thanks-I figured the final pics deserved something special so I broke out the medium format camera

Truly a masterpiece in restoration. I've now restored two 028av Supers, and I assure you that mine run fine but look used. This saw looks better than my MS361 did when I bought it brand new in 2007.

Stihl can't send a saw out of the factory that looks better than this one.

I added an outside bumper spike on mine that lines up perfectly with the inside spike. That required custom grinding because most do not align properly. However, that's the only trump that I can play and it's only a deuce.
