I also have an up to date ignition coil for it. It needs a points conversion. It's a very clean saw. I'm not going to split the crank case because I don't think it's necessary. No play in bearings. Oil seals look nice and clean and free of leakage. I want it to be be a high performance rebuild. An 028 super top end is considered a big bore on an 028 av wood boss. If I remember correctly.
Learning on my own was so difficult, if I would've known, I wouldn't have gotten into it. I've surpassed the terrible nightmare that is basic saw building 101 and now I'm a happy thriving saw builder!
The big goofy break handle will tell you it's old. I'm going to listen to some disco!
I can fix it no problem. I build ever
Lol. I know, I meant that If I was able to get my hands on the missing parts, I would be more than capable of turning it into an awesome saw.
Farmertech is the first top end I ever used. it threw a circlip but that was my fault. The quality of the product is good. It's the uncommon parts I need help with
At least half the guys on here can do that! Parts is parts but they ain't free for 084 Stihl. By the time you round up the missing stuff you will have more than a new saw. That's what we have been trying to tell you.
Thanks for that. It makes a lot of sense. I'm going to give it some thought and decide a home series
In my shop, I have a whole bunch of different series of Stihl. I'm going pick one and sell the rest. It'll give me structure.
I'm not only flipping saws but I'm also collecting antique saws and using them for tree removal. The antique saws are fascinating. Everyone is interested in them. They're a great advertisement for a saw builder. They're a popularity booster.
