While cleaning out some storage, I just happened to come across an old 028 Wood Boss that someone gave to me in pieces, in a box. It was given to me some 13 or 14 years ago and I had every intention of resurrecting it back to life, but that never happened. Apparently, they tried to fix it up, tore it all down, and gave up. It was in complete disassemble, having various parts, nuts, bolts, and screws contained in zip lock bags. Well, I found it while cleaning up, and decided to see if it actually will run again. I pieced it back together, cleaned the carb, replaced the old points and condenser ignition with an electronic one, and got it to fire up. Had some issue getting oil to pump, but got that mostly solved. Still having some issues, but I think I am missing a seal. I got it to pump, but I think I am losing prime, so it is inconsistent after it sits for a while. So, I am trying to do this on the cheap. I will gift this dinosaur to my cousin so he can clear some trees at his new house. I don' have a problem using aftermarket parts, it is what it is. Here's my problem: I have both an oil tank leak and a fuel tank leak at the caps. I'm pretty sure that it is only the gasket, but looking at new gaskets online, they ring in at like $10 each. This was suppose to be on a budget.... I know that I can find aftermarket caps for about $10 for the set but I can't figure out what the correct part number should be. I have a couple 028 IPL's and cant find my tank part number on any of the IPL's. This kind of baffles me. The part number on the bottom of the tank is 1118 791 1000. Can anyone tell me what they think is correct? When I look up the gasket number for what I think is correct, I get some cross references for the same gasket that is used on 036, 046, 066 saws. I have no idea. Here are some pics of the saw so far.
