Nice find. Both very cool saws. The 028S in particular is near and dear to my heart.

I pulled the plugs and did a compression test, the 032 has 175psi and th 028 has 160psi. Are the cab kits the same for both saws? it look's that way on ebay

That should be carb kit not cab kit, but thats a nice thought for cutting wood in the winter. LOL

Let the experts correct me, but I believe the 028 came with different carbs, even from different makers, over its lifespan. So the best thing would be to pull the carbs in question and identify them before ordering a kit.

i know my 032 has a tillotson on it and my 028's have walbros.

If you look on Ebay, the Tillotson HU-40 was commonly used in 028's. But I just took apart an 028 with a Walbro WT-16 in it.

According to an old thread:

The early 028av were 42mm with Tillotson carb, the 028wb was bumped up to 44mm, most with Walbro. The 028 Super were bumped again to 46mm, no Tilotson.

I just rebuilt the Walbro WT16 in my 028 Super. So yep... Wally carb.
