My local Stihl Dealer had exact same saw in 1984 for $350!!! Stihl Chainsaw Days included full case, extra chain, bar oil, and pump pen for bar grease. Best Buy I’ve made to this day, many cords of firewood fell to that saw. Still a prized tool I’ll never par with. Glad to see another back in service. Enjoy!!!

Pretty honest guy, admitting that he would feel more comfortable with some documentation handy. If I did a video, I would be like Barney Fife and say things like "A course you got yer intake right here and that's where it takes in the air. And yer fuel lines are important too." I would be the biggest ham and cheese sandwich out there. Good video and a good job. Editing in that this is the first video I've seen in a very long time where the host has learned to say "has not run" instead of "has not ran". Congratulations on being able to speak proper English. You are a rare breed.

I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle kzfaq.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

Its always best to rebuild the old original carb. The chinese copies can give you a lot of problems and it never really runs exactly how it did with the original. Even power can be influenced by bad atomization of fuel or fabrication defects inside of them that can slip unnoticed.

When I read classic I was expecting much older. I'm a stihl mechanic, just got silver but been at it for a few years before I got here. . The other day I found an old stihl saw, massive 36" bar, manuel oiler, not sure on year but it is old. I'm guessing 70s. Going to try and rebuild it and use it down the line! Sounds like a fun project

By no means am i trying to be a chain-saw snob , but i will NEVER , ever , ever , use after market parts on any of my stihl saws again. I live 78 miles from the nearest road , i did not say town. On two occasions i tried to replace the carbs and etc , only to have them crap out on me. Cheap china crap. I will only use OEM parts, no exceptions. Expensive as hell , but guaranteed to work. Out here i dont have the luxury of not having a running saw. Great video and very informative. From Alaska , Jason & Theresa

Excellent video sir. I have run a Stihl 028 Wood boss since 1981 when I bought my first new saw. I now have 3 028's that I still run and work to keep them in good running order. The 028 series is not supported in the aftermarket with an overabundance of wear parts like mufflers and clutches, but other parts are plentiful. I have Chinese aftermarket carburetors on all 3 of mine and aside from some slight adjustments - they run great. In my opinion - the 0 series that Stihl produced were some of the best saws they have ever made. Thank you for the video - it is always good to see an old champ like that up and running again. They are slow and heavy - at least by today's standards - but "they don't make them like that anymore".

I picked up an old 021 and a 029 Super recently for $75 for the pair. These things were so dirty with oil, dirt and mouse feces it was disgusting. They were in a barn and I doubt they ran in the last 10 years. I took them apart and cleaned them right down to last speck of dirt. Rebuilt the carb on one, replaced the other. Air filters, fuel lines, fuel filters, fuel tank vents, sharpened the chains... Both of these baby's rip some wood!

@ericscottstevens 2 ай бұрын

Great! I have both of these same saws bought new in 1993 and 1982, still using them today with minimal issues. Repairs include the clutch spring assembly on the 028 flywheel can break if it gets too hot it will freeze up the drive sprocket. The choke on the 028 can become a bit finnicky on initial start up. My 021 has not had major issues since it was bought new. The 021 is a rarity for the hp and the 16 inch bar length. It is light but powerful, use picco chains with no raker. Drain fuel from them if you store them for awhile, the mix can turn into grey puke if in your tank too long.

This video is inspirational. Am going to attempt reviving a neglected saw similar to yours. It has compression and that’s about it’s got going for it. Never worked on a Stihl before and your video really helps. Thank you for taking the time to show us. I ordered a similar kit on Amazon. Have to order new gas cap ( it might as well be absent). Found two tiny adjustment screws with no top that were threaded into the same length of dry rotted rubber tubing rolling around loosely in the air filter compartment. Can’t figure out where they go. We’ll see. Y’all wish me luck.

Most of the old chainsaws that op end including carb...come into my shop don't run properly because people leave old gas sitting in them 11 months of the year and everything is full of fuel varnish or an old fuel line developed some cracks. Had a Guy bring me a box full of parts to an old 039. Told me I could have it in trade for $50 on a newer saw because the "authorized" Stihl shop at Ace hardware said it needed a whole new top end including carb. They charged hum $85 to get his swa back in a "Casket" The fuel line was cracked almost in half right where it attaches to the carb. I put the saw together, cut 1/4 inch off the fuel line...RAN LIKE A BOSS.. JUst because a shop is "authorized" doesn't mean they have any skills. It just means they sell a lot of NEW saws.

@johnclarke6647 11 ай бұрын

@@Only-Memories-In-The-End I use our local quarter car wash, after spraying down the parts with Super Clean. It is faster than getting out my big pressure washer. I then blow them off with compressed air and let them dry for a couple of days. None of my stuff has points. If they did I might do things, differently. During winter, I put the parts in my office over a heater vent. They dry out nice and fast - a weekend is usually sufficient. I break them down to their biggest pieces. I remove carb, muffler, coil, starter and block up the intake boot and exhaust port. I usually put a little WD40 into the intake boot beforehand. I leave the plug in. I do not want water getting into the cylinder. I spray wash the cases, starter, rear handle, top covers, sprocket cover - just about anything plastic or metal. I will tell you something I found on my 021. I pulled the cover on the rear handle and it was completely packed with sawdust. I wondered why the trigger was a little slow. Not any more - I cleaned it separately. You can eat out of it, now. Usually, the rear handle/fuel tank is one of the filthiest parts, along with the muffler area and the PTO side.

I picked up a crash damaged 026 this week for $25. Couldn’t pass that one up. I have ordered a new AM gas tank for it. The worse thing was how filthy it was. It had sat at my local Stihl dealers for about 15 years. It was missing an air filter cover and the air filter was damaged. I have a new rear handle ordered for it and will put it on when it comes in. I figured it was a running saw when a tree fell on it and I was right.after I cleaned it up I squirted some gas down it’s throat and it runs. I am goin to connect it to a container of gas, today, to see how good it runs. I think it will do fine and the oiler may even work. I have a bar on it but no chain. I can put a bar an chain on it but just want to see how it runs before I take it apart to put the new rear handle on it. I also use Bosch WSR 6F plugs in all my Stih saws. I don’t run that Chinese crap either. To make it start a little easier, squirt a little two cycle down it’s throat and start from half choke.no way I am pulling a saw over 14 times to get it to crank.

My rule - if I open a carb it gets a new set of diaphragms, either Walbro or Zama. As far as Chinese carbs go - they are not that bad. Price has nothing to do with quality. I do pressure check every carb before I put it on a saw, oem or otherwise. It better hold 5# or I find out why before it goes on a saw.

Pro Tip: Use a lapel Mic on your person, Mount you mic on a surface that is not connected to your workbench, Or use a spring mount for the mic. Doing any of these three options will reduce / remove the horrid noises caused by vibrations every time you touch or move the saw around like you have in this video. You could build a spring mount easily enough (look up pictures of them and you can see how easy they are to make).

As far as I'm concerned the smaller 1s ran better altho both versions had a habit of the crankshaft breaking next to the seal on the PTO side. It's thought that bearing vibration was the culprit. Seen several that way. Stihl musta sold several million of those.

the metering diaphragm does not pump the fuel. it is pretty much like the float in a larger carb and shuts fuel off when the carb is full. when they dry out they stick 1 way or the other so they will either let no fuel thru or let a lot go through and possibly flood the engine right out.

Nice Video. I have a 032av which is hard starting. High compression. Any thoughts on how to remedy this issue?

My 028 AV super "stihl" jams after 35 years of use and hundreds of trees. The new ones are pieces of shit now. Inherited 2 newer ones from my Dad and both won't run now. It seems i remember paying around $400.00 for my 028 AV Super way back in the 80's,it was made in West Germany

Always check for compression first..it needs to be at 150 psi 140 and lower it will need a piston rings and cylinder ..compression , spark and then fuel..regular won't work on any single cylinder engine after 1 months time .. use super and you will NEVER have a problem with any gas powered tool as long as you use it every year... if you don't use something Every year like a generator you want to drain it and put some WD40 or any kind of lubrication in the gas tank and in the carburetor to keep them from pitting or rusting
