STIHL 029 Super assemble

I got a new job fixing chainsaws.
I need practice. I found this particular saw in the back of the shop. No info on it. Been there a while. Built in 1999. Still has compression but everything else is old/tired.
Asked boss if it was okay to take this saw apart for practice. He said okay.
So I took the saw completely apart to learn about how it works. The bar stud that goes into the crankcase was completely ruined. It took considerable effort to get the old one out.
The Very Next Day the Owner of the saw comes to the store. "Can I have my saw back?". I find out that the saw had been there over a year and they want it fixed.
Call what I did Bad luck, good timing, murphys law...take your pick. But there I found myself with a saw completely in pieces and the owner wanting it back.
Operation Restore Order commenced, so I cleaned the parts, ordered new stuff to replace the broken/worn out stuff and spent way more time than
I should have putting it back together.
I learned a lot about chainsaws rebuilding this one. This one is the very first chainsaw I've ever taken completely to parts and put back together.
Some of the assembly was done in the wrong order. Some of it was just plain done wrong. I learned a few lessons on this, as was expected.
At the end, it ran.
UPDATE 11/1/2021: This saw mopped the floor with me. I chased a problem with no spark for a day that was due to a piece of carbon shorting the plug electrode. Lesson learned there.
I took the saw outside to tune the carburetor and had nothing but trouble, so I took the saw back inside, removed the carb, took it apart...the gaskets are hard. STIHL no longer sells gaskets for this, so I had to go aftermarket (sigh). They should be here in a few days, meanwhile the saw sleeps at the shop.
UPDATE 11/3/2021: Found a carburetor gasket kit in a drawer at the shop, and actually fit the walbro that was on the 029 Super, so I rebuilt the carburetor today. This saw is fixed. Then I went to call the customer, no answer, voicemail box is full (sigh).

One of the most Amazing videos I’ve ever watched, you are very Skilled and disciplined. You brought this old chainsaw back to life ❤ kudos to you..

Mental Note: Install the muffler last. Makes sense as that's one of the first pieces you normally remove to check the condition of the piston/cylinder for low compression.

STIHL recommends the use of Press Fluid for assembly of the rubber parts - I finally got some. Talk about making installation of the rubber parts a whole lot easier......

I enjoyed this very much, great presentation, no extraneous chatter needed!

[@steverollins7904]

Is there a decompression valve on the 029?

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

Any reason you used the soft seals instead of the hard seals? I thought the soft seals were only if you didn’t want to split the cylinder and pan?

great vid. where did you get precision oiler ? gotta link ? how much $ thanks

[@rustyrepairs2565]

So, you really skipped out on the one part I was looking for. In regards to the "top plate" which, as I understand it, some of the 029's use it and some don't. Could you clarify as to weather or not a "top plate" is required or not? It's basically a formed washer that goes under the clutch. Thanks!

Exhalant job, Do you recommend a good chain to use. My chain has 67 teeth .325 distance and .63 thickness on shark tooth

Bagaimana tenaganya mesin itu kawan? Apakah sama dengan 381 atau 440? Kayaknya ringan untuk di pakai mesin itu

There is a nipple on the gas tank that should have a tube on it. Mine broke off. All that was left on mine was about 1/4" of brittle tube. I watched your video hoping to see how and where it was routed but you never installed it... you went straight from the fuel tubes to the flywheel.
