I got one of the 028 AV Supers also. Let me know if you need the manual, I have one in PDF format.

Does yours seem a little heavy? They are built solid as a tank, and suppose to be a very reliable saw. I just put a 18" bar on mine the other day. Depending on the chain tensioner, if external between the bar nuts like current saws, they are worth alot more, I think they made those the last two years. Like to hear what others think about the 028 Wood Boss and AV Super.

Very solid reliable small saw.I have a real nice 028 Super, and a project 028 Super I am currently building. I also have had a few 028 WBs. I dont find them heavy at all, and my Super responded very well to the mods I did to it.

Do you know for sure that the Super Cylinder fits on the standard 028?

Here's The Ports.....Stock

I got one with a bad piston from a local shop and have now a piston & rings on the way from Bailey's. Here are a few pictures of the stock for now porting. The intake seems very restrictive and has a tiny boot but the rest of the ports look good.

:biggrinbounce2: I guess that .1 hp makes it a clearly different breed .

PHP:
MS280 is a different animal
.

I understand the stroke and Bore could be wildly different as well as any crank variations and porting differences as well, but that wasn't what the o/p was requesting. :biggrinbounce2:
About the only thing an 028S and an MS 280 have in common are they are both orange, and white and the both say Stihl and use a chain to cut with. That's about it.
