I've had many years ago (~2000) a similar problem with a 79 Ford Taunus (German made) carburetor that would not start the car in cold even if you asked it nicely... After a fewf clean-ups and some repair kits I ended up putting a flange and a carburetor for a different car with similar size engine. Went to a dealer, changed some jets and they tuned it and worked like I a charm. It still bugs me to this day what I didn't know that could help me fix it.... After a few years I drove the car for the last time. I've noticed that the car run perfectly and my father noticed this as well... It was a bitter sweet moment. That was the car I put my most work into and thought me a few things about rust and what one can fix and when one should let go.

I bought my Stihl 028 Wood Boss in 1987 to clear off an area for our new house. It has always been a great saw. After watching your video, I discovered the manual says it has an electronic ignition, so that should be good. Over the years though, I have rebuilt the carburetor with new kits and never had real good luck with them. In the end, I replaced the whole carburetor with a cheap China one from Amazon and it has worked like new ever since! It is the only chainsaw I have ever owned and definitely don't consider it an antique!

@skoparweaver76922 ай бұрын
I would try your hand at the original carb one more time. The original walbro/tillitson is superior to a chinese carb. Replace the gaskets, turn both low speed and high speed needles out 1 1/4 turns. Make sure it's getting gas and it's cleaned out really good and it should work great. It's a fairly simple carb so as long as it's getting fuel and air it should work. I had an issue with mine not getting fuel after rebuild, but it's good now. Warm it up and it idles like my ms170 even though it's 30 years older.
@Travawing2 ай бұрын
@skoparweaver7692 Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, I probably didn't keep the old carb. I've used it with the cheap replacement for probably 3-4 years without a problem. I changed to a premium fuel mix at that time, so maybe that has helped too.

John Do a leak down test on that motor to make sure you do not have crank case leak. The 028 is known for bad crank seals/ impulse line/ intake manifold boot. Also the coil you bought is a electronic ignition coil. Just hook the kill switch to it and it will work. Do away with electronic ignition module if you want to put that new coil in that saw.

The high speed jet should be adjusted at wide open on the trigger while under load in a cut. This is why saw shops used to have a big hardwood log out back before government took away the adjustment screws. There are screwdrivers that lock onto the jet to make this easier. Same thing, find where it starts stumbling in both directions and put it in the middle. You'll be amazed how much more power you can dial in.

You guessed it: they ran it flat out every day for hours, never changed the oil, regularly ran the oil low. At the end of the summer, when I saw what they had done to it, I told them to keep it. Again, never loan out your things. Most people just won't appreciate your generosity.

First thing I do with a non running saw is check compression with a tester. If someone puts the wrong gas or mixture in (it happens a lot) or another issue leads people to turning jets….. making a lean mixture. Both will burn up the piston and cylinder very quickly. With a saw that runs but not great, pull off the muffler and look into the cylinder. Then rotate the engine slowly and look at the piston. Exhaust side is the one that gets burned up from excessive heat. Just a small amount of scoring will drop compressing causing it to run or start poorly.

I have a Still 041AV chain saw I got in 1970 so it is 54 years old now. I still works perfect although I did put a new carb on it several years ago. I also replaced the spark plug and air filter and gas line and filter because ethanol gas rots gas lines. Great saw with minimal maintenance. I did not use some aftermarket Chinese carb but rather bought a proper Stihl carb for $60. Love my old Stihl.

1981? That was only 20 years ago!😅 When I saw those points, I instantly thought about Chickanic's channel where she replaced points with electronic ignition. Great job!

I wonder if a neurosurgeon has as much patience and determination as you! Good job and thank you for taking the time to film this for us! Someone gifted me one the these things so I feel prepared to attempt to turn it on now that I’ve watched this. 😂

Farmcraft, CEE and Dieselcreek were my favourite channels. They'd tempt my thumb to hit that like button even before the video start.
