Hi RiverRat! Any luck on video playback?

Used my digital cam via .MOV format w/sound (uses Quicktime) and Zipped it due to file size then attached it. Any suggestions?

Oooops, what Andy said the clutch side!

Hi Andy, What do you think about video clip?

Thanks for the tip Bill, Yea got the saw finished last month with help from Stihl gurus. One thing though, the flywheel nut was so tight that I had to run it down to Stihl shop to have the nut loosen. They broke their anti-rotation tool (connecting rod block) during the process. They ended...

Cutting Video :chainsaw: Well, here it is. I know, I know, the up-cut looks less than ideal. Up cutting 15 3/4" Fir with 16" Bar was challenging as the dog would hang up. Trying to look alike a pro... Anyway, I have ran 3 tanks so far, and seems to be getting stronger. I'm going to try my...

:monkey: I hope it isn't, but it could be one or both crank bearings. Recently my 028AV Super had same problems. The hard pulling (ripping your hand off!) occured when the flywheel hung up with mag pick-up as you drop started. This didn't happen all the time as the engine would stop at...

What a happy looking bunch! I concur, what a nice Host. Andy (host on far right) gives me a cold beer and between RiverRat2 "Don't Mess With Texas" (far left) did all work for me:cheers: :clap: Really, bunch of nice guys, it's refreshing to see this day and age. I wonder if these guys do...

:bowdown: Oooops, I stand corrected! Good choice on the beer! I didn't get hungry for long time.:cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Hey RiverRat,:chainsawguy: It was good meeting you, no matter what I've heard about people from Big Texsas(LOL). Hope you had fun at Squim. I was thinking about entering my Twin-Turbo SuperSport 028 AV Super, Limited Edition with Chambered exhaust mod from 1975 Yamaha YZ500 (LOL), but a...

Well, nice used crank case (short block) was what the doctor ordered. I don't think it would have been easy without "Lakeside Andy" help. After swap-over, I had to wait 4 days for $1.35 oil pump gasket. Installed it and saw is FMC (Full Mission Capable) status, that's USAF lingo. Spent half...

I picking up a used built up case then heading over to Lakeside's (Andy) place and swap over everything. I hope case isn't damaged (hoping for a good core). I'll take some pics and post it. I need to cut while the weather is good. Thanks,

Wow, nice pics. Looks like you have pro saw shop. By chance do you have similar pics on Stihl saws? I have pretty old 028AV Super (25 years old) that I'm trying to resue. Thanks,

I'll PM you. Thanks,

Madsens quote was painful. Basically, 3 hours+parts. The tech said, he seen simple bearing change to damaged cranks, spun bearing (bad case). So, not knowing until the full teardown, a well used case is a better approch (like you said). Thanks,

Andy, Talk to the seller, and is the correct one(w/brake). Planning to go up Friday. And yea, I do have set of oil seal I bought prior to finding this bad bearing. Thanks,

Hey Andy, Did you ever deal with ebay seller "cheapstihlparts" out of Everett? He has few 028 crank cases for sale. One question, are all the 028 (WB, AV Super, AV) crank cases all same? The reason I ask is that I know there were 3 different piston sizes (42, 44, and 46mm). Thanks,

Hi Andy, Gee, you bring all the good new! Yea bad crank bearings for sure! Just the magnetics is pulling over the flywheel! Do you think taking it down to Madsen's would hurt the pocket too bad? I've heard that they have a flat rate on it (I'll call them this morning). Andy, What are the...

Hey Fishman, Just got done stripping it down. Upon closer look on flywheel side, I notice that the flywheel has quite a bit a radial play (1/16-1/8"). I mentioned on earlier thread noticing rubbing on the flywheel with mag pick-up. Well, I can duplicated by hand. Is the play comming from...

Very good point! Being that this was my first saw coupled with lack of experience, I've been relaying on the words from this forum. So, you are right I didn't use a systematic troubleshooting, or fault isolation procedures. I have been in aviation/jet engine maintenance for over 26 years now...
