Stihl 028 Woodboss?

[NovaMan]

Something happened while the mechanic was tuning the saw, and now the piston and cylinder are scored. I'm not out any money, but the place doesn't have any other 026s. :bang:

I can sell you an 026 (1999 model), in "like new condition" for $285. Dual screw carb fitted, muffler lightly modded...


And my cylinder and muffler are "beautiful".

Well, I'm off to buy the 026 and some safety gear.

Good decision!

More power and less weight than the 028WB.

Where were you two weeks ago...I would have jumped on that 026 in a heart beat.
I just bought a brand new MS280 but haven't cut with it yet.
