    Hmm, which seals are you referring to? Is it on this diagram?

    Stihl 028 Carb and another problem

    Ok so I turned the H and L screws in all the way and started them off at 1 turn out each. I got the saw fired up and idling, it wanted to slowly die after taking off the choke but was idling very high with the choke on. I fired it up again and it stayed idling for a bit without choke, I adjusted...

    Stihl 028 Carb and another problem

    Well I spoke to soon. Today I put the bar and chain on and tested it out. The idle seemed good, the chain was barely moving forward, when I gave it full throttle it died shortly after, then i tried it again and it started recreating that same high rev low rev thing again and eventually died. So...

    Stihl 028 Carb and another problem

    Thanks, soldering it seems to be the best way to go, retaining connectivity. Diggers_Dad, Thank you for explaining. I am still a bit confused, main reason I asked was because it seems that when in the Off position it is making connection and while in the On position it is still making...

    Stihl 028 Carb and another problem

    Awesome! I got it running and sounds pretty good. I'll have to test it in some wood with the bar and chain on. I cleaned out the tank vent, which was not very dirty and made up a new mix of gas. ! So happy right now. One problem, the kill wire seems to be slipping out of its sleeve and it...

    Stihl 028 Carb and another problem

    PA Plumber, good call, that was actually one thing I did not clean. I just inspected it. I'll pull it tonight and clean it out, thanks. One difficulty this may cause is I am changing more than one thing at a time before testing it out again so I may not know the actual fix if/when I do get...

    Stihl 028 Carb and another problem

    fidiro, I am thinking gas quality could be an issue as well. I have already emptied out the gas from the tank prior to disassembling it. The saw is generally clean for how old it is, after I bought it and tested it out, it would not start and the gas was leaking. So I took it apart and cleaned...

    Stihl 028 Carb and another problem

    Yeah, I called the local shop and they stock the impulse lines. So I'll pick one up after work. I'm a bit upset at the local shop for handing it back to me saying it ran fine without the bar and chain. But it did not. I called him up again and he mentioned wanting to clean out my carburetor...

    not sure if that photo above was showing what you wanted to see?

    The fuel line is brand new. I checked the impulse line again, no cracks or hairline fractures visible. Here is how it ran last before taking it apart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLHPFBU5sxk

    Stihl 028 Carb and another problem

    Ok, checked the carb again, removed the needle and screen, below you can see there is no debris and it seems clean and clear. By points are you referring to High and Low Speed adjustments? If so it has H and L yes. The local saw shop tuned it for me, said it was set to: L - 1.25 turns...

    Stihl 028 Carb and another problem

    Ok, I've got the tank assembly removed. I removed the impulse line, it looks to be in good condition, no tears or any signs of holes. I tested it with compressed air. The ignition is fine, not sure how that would come into play with my current problem cause I can get it fired up. The tank vent...

    Stihl 028 Carb and another problem

    Quick question, what is the best way to get to the impulse line? Sorry to throw out such an amateur question. Does the tank/handle assembly need to come off?

    Stihl 028 Carb and another problem

    Just checked the carburetor again, made sure everything was in place, tight and clean. Everything was correct and the needle is not sticking. I'll pull out the impulse line and test that.

    Stihl 028 Carb and another problem

    Damn I am stumped at this point. I removed the bar and chain and can fire it up on full choke but it will only idle for a bit on full choke, i knock it to half choke and it idles for about 1 minute and eventually dies, then it won't run at all, I'll let it sit for a minute and try again on...
