The Official Stihl 028 WB AV Super Electronic Quickstop thread

[Anonym]

Does anyone know if the 028 Supers all came with Electronic ignition?

Thanks!

Is a saw that had a bad PC in it. Ordered a Super, must be the 42 crank and case. Oh well, its going to be a super... eventually.

Maybe you could post a pic or two and describe what you did. Since this is the 028 thread, I'm sure more would be interested in this subject. I for one am interested, good luck to you.

The extra capacity on the exhaust rendered the existing dawg almost in-operable. So I had to make a little more aggressive one. A little large, but effective.:msp_biggrin:

I'm not quite understanding what's going on there with the muffler.

Here's the other side... Long story with this one...

Nice Super K5... Did you outfit it with an 18 or 16 B&C? And what kind of compression is it puffing right now?

Ask and you shall receive.
135 PSI with the old rings for now.
It has 16 .325 I am looking for 18 .325, I'd love 3/8 lo pro 18". Looking for a trade?

Oh, I was just looking for a baseline. I got a "well used" 028 AV with 150 lbs of comp. and My buddy stumpy just hooked me up with an "original" 028 wood boss... "No AV"... It's got 155lbs...

OK, what happened to the old way of displaying photos without links?

Here's my 028 super, rescued it out of my aunts shed. She was told it was beyond repair or at least that's what her local shop told her. Put a new piston in it, cleaned up the cylinder, and replaced all the other assorted gaskets and rubber parts along the way. Now runs like a champ!

 

[Hedgerow]

Rep on you for that nice super!

wood boss super

My dad gave me a saw a few weeks back, 028av super woodboss EQ. He said the coil was going bad and the rubber mounts was going bad.he said take it and fix it,is a good saw. So i took it home and cut a few little thingswith it and it finally quit running. I tore it down knowing I had no idea what I was doing. It was obvious someone had it apart before my dad got ahold of it,there was a nail stuck in the vent house for the gas tank Lol. Hoping that it was not the100 dollar module that i priced at my local dealer, i removed every thing I felt confident I wouldn't screw up to see hopefully an obvious problem. As I pulled the carb I am certain i discovered my problem. The kill wire from the module to the switch was pinched and had3 bare spots. So as of right now i have coil wire,kill wire all4 anti vibemounts new bar nuts,tank vent hose,air filter on order due to pick up this weekend. Will put pictures on here when i get home. Very excited about this saw after reading up on it on this thread and site.

Well. I got all my parts in threw it all together just to realize something is wrong with the compression I'm assuming because It's spitting gas out on to my air filter really bad and flooding it self out..I took the muffler off and tried to get a decent picture with my phone but didn't have much success. Anyone have any suggestions of my problem by just reading this?? I'll be running a compression check soon...what would be a good reading for me to worry about rings??

150 pounds would be common. Anything under 120 would concern me.

Just wondering if anyone knows if there was a certain serial number break when the first 28's switched from the 42 MM cylinder to the 44 MM cylinder? Thanks!
