hand gaurd Does the hand guard move on your 028AV? Mine rocks front and back like its supposed to be hooked up to some linkage.

Hey everyone, In a continued effort to find and rehab affordable stihl saws I picked up an 015L and an 028WB yesterday. The 015L responded well to a bit of scrubbing and cleaning and finally regapping the spark plug was all it took to get her running happily. The 028 looks to be in good...

Well, after two pistons ordered and a multitude of other parts (from memory); air filter, various screws, slide blocks, clutch drum, clutch drum washer, clutch drum washer e-clips, chain, oiler, felling dog, chain catcher, piston bearing - 10mm then returned for 12mm, bars nuts, an as of yet...

i suppose i'm still painfully green, what's the sticky look like?

on an off note where where should i post a request to buy a vintage part from a member? Looking for a fuel line for a Mcculloch 1-71.

What is the intent of the spacer behind the clutch? I came to the conclusion that the spacer may not be imperative. Is there a clutch that would fit this frankenstien rig that would allow me to use the spacer? If Im not at risk of burning out the oiler by taking out the spacer I'm not gonna...

another question for the field; I spun on the clutch and tightened it down against some cotton rope fed through the spark plug hole. I assume a piston stop tool is more recommended but this is what i've got right now. When I put the clutch drum on and align it with the oiler spring I can't...

thanks jockey. I'm taking notes.

I've been putting a few drops of two stroke oil on parts before assembly, I figure it can't hurt. Any other tips/techniques to a top end an experienced mechanic may care to lend me?

next assembly question; The rings have a bevel in their ends, do I install long point or short point up?

After ordering the meteor piston from bailey's and getting the piston pin/wrist pin bearing locally i've got the proper parts now collected. Dry fit confirms that the saw has the 12mm pin crank in it. So, to clarify, a 12mm pin bottom end (crank and rod) can go in an older 044 with the serial...

what is a pop up piston? what is squish?

meteor or NWP is the meteor piston worth the extra 20 from Bailey's?

The saw was without a piston and bearing when I got it. The seller claimed he tried a 12 mm pin piston and it didn't fit. I was going off that information, foolishly. I'll try the 12 mm.

Hi all, I've got an issue an trying to get to the bottom of. I picked an 044 off craigslist; mostly there but missing some stuff. The previous owner allegedly rebuilt the bottom end and it looks like he did, I can see new gasket and bottom end bearings feel good. He said he he ordered a...

im pullin for ya Being a NH native (deerfield) and a saw junkie who just picked up an 044 that is in pieces I wish you good luck. I'll certainly look forward to your seeing your progress. I hope that my project is going to be a bit easier. Mine is; Bottom end rebuilt w/ allegedly stihl...

I posted a question or two on this yesterday though I was tagging along on another thread. I'm not sure if starting my own makes it more visible or what, but i'm going to put this question out again. Also, does starting my own thread make any difference? here goes, I was hoping someone...

if the adjustment screw can spin endlessly in either direction then i assume it must be broke? Im getting getting oil out of the hole at the left end of the little channel which seems to be correct. There is a little brass fitting with a pinhole in it just to the right of the oil port, do you...

029 oiler question Hey all, I picked up an 029 for short money though the oiler was reportedly not functional. I have a few questions on diagnosing this to be the truth/ oiler adjustment. Oil does get to the bar actually to the point where it is dripping off at the base, so my questions...
