That's about the fastest 028 I've seen...

 

[chainsawwhisperer]

I love the 028! I have 3 a cherry Super, a WB, And a Frankenwood boss(Super P/C).

What I'm wondering is has anyone ever seen one with the heated handle bars? The rear handle has the provision for the switch, but I've never seen one.

* Also, I'm looking for a nice early 42mm 028, points, metal rear handle, etc. *

Anyone know what the beginning serial number was on the 028??

 

[chainsawwhisperer]

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!

Production of this model(44mm W/B) commenced with serial no. 6111990 (Info from Chain Saw Collectors Corner)

Anyone know what the beginning serial number was on the 028??

Don't know... I am still looking for a 1st series 42mm 028, serial # below 6111990

Thanks Jim,

I was just curious because I was looking at the 028 I got from my grandpa and the SN is 5513905. It is a WB though and not an 028av. Were the AV's first?

 

[roncoinc]

I hate to admit i own a steal but this one just sits on the shelf.
barely used but cant come close to any other 50cc saw so it sits.

 

[chainsaw kid]

Must have a bad P&C or a chitty little safety .325 chain if it can't come close to your other 50cc saws. You should sell it to someone who will use it, it's a good saw.

Intresting, It might have a later top cover, or my info is wrong
Is it a 42mm?
I think the 028 AV was first.

Jim I'll have to check the bore on it. As far as I know it's all original, he got the saw in 1979.

For some reason i like the older stihls just the way they look. Those 028s are sharp looking, hopefully i can come across a deal one day.

So how much more cc's are the Supers?

028av were 42mm with Tillotson carb, the 028wb has 44mm, with Walbro.,028 Super is 46mm !
i just bought a stihl 028 av qs and am bussy upgrading the quick stop to a chain brake.parts are a little hard to find but it is possible.im just wondering if an one knows if i canupgrad the brake on my av using a stihl 028 SUPER AV EQ CHAIN BRAKE Assembly.and if so what how ?

 

[MNfarmer]

The 028's used at least two different chain brake designs and I don't know if they are interchangeable or not. I've only worked on that have chain brakes on them but never tried to swab the parts. If they aren't interchangeable you'll either have to find the used parts you need or swap crank cases with one that has the newer style.

I also have a bunch of 028`s most are used for work but this one is just too nice to put to work,

Would someone care to post a pic of how the choke on/Off is supposEd to be put together? My father in law has an 028 that he had someone work on. The guy told him it was junk and he'd buy it off of him...
I have it put back together and running but something just doesn't seem right about the way the choke rod, seems like its missing a rod that holds the throttle open while it's being choked. I don't know for sure.

I've got an old Woodboos that was converted over to pointless ignition and it really is a good cutting saw but I'm thinking about putting a 028 Super P/C on it.Do they use the same intake and carb?

newbie w 028 av super

Hey guys, I just joined up to learn some about my saw and figure out the proper chain/bar set up for my 028 super. I got the saw about 15 years ago in a pawn shop for $200. It had a 20" stihl rollamatic bar which had never even been flipped over and the saw looked cherry. I have used it for firewood, mostly aspens, for and spruce. Have done nothing to the saw except maintain the air filter and keep my 3 chains sharp. Last week, I changed the probable original plug and noticed the plug was not even finger tight, so plug was fouled w some blow by. Had it tuned at the StiHL shop in moab and the mechanic said it was the cleanest 028 he had seen. He laughed about the bar being made in west Germany, so I guess that dates the saw. It had some carbon build up on the piston and only put out 120 lbs of compression, but seems plenty powerful. I have worn out my chains, so looking to get some new chains and bar. What do you recommend for being able to cut down a huge old Siberian elm and massive mulberry on my moab property. Hoping the old 028 super can handle some big hardwoods???? Thanks in

028 super question

I recently just bought a cherry 028 super. Whats the difference between the AV super and the AV super wood boss. I know it has a walbro carb but what re-build kit will I need for it. Thanks

 

[snoozeys]

I just bought an 028av off a forum member and only issue so far is it doesn't like to idle and I know nothing about turning a saw ... I've loving the saw otherwise
