Check your needle arm setting.... raise it slightly. Put a piece of soft fuel line between the H & L screws to stop needle walk if your thinking that may be a problem. Place in the spring area or there a bouts.
028 carb issues

Update on the 028. For some reason I decided to take the air filter cover off while running and noticed it skipped a beat while loosening the screw. So I then held it wide open and tightened the screw up and sounds like I opened the main Jet about 6 turns lol. Anyone ever had this before? I’m assuming it’s something to do with the air filter with the choke in it which is a new one so I doubt the spring is bad. Should I get a new filter?
Check the nuts holding the carb on
( under the AF) are tight. I had a saw once that was missing the nuts altogether.
Nuts are tight and both there. anyone else got any suggestions.

Take the air filter off, then put the cover on and test run it.
Then torque down the screw and see what happens.
And while it is off, put up some pics.

Runs perfect with the filter out and cover on tight. I’m guessing that some how it’s squishing the filter and pushing the choke closed. Is there suppose to be a bushing or something there that I don’t have?
probaly could have cleaned it first good thing there good size chips. Wouldn't wanna get picked on for dust from a dull chain lol.
Those filters have a little flap and spring on them that holds the choke closed. Take the air filter apart and see that the spring is not stretched out. If it’s not an OEM air filter immediately discard it. It’s probably the little choke flap, those little filters aren’t too expensive to replace.

Yeah, just for a test, put the old filter back on, and then try it, and see what happens.
If not, get a new filter.

I ended up getting one in town today 38.80 made my butt hole picker pretty good. But it seems to have solved the issue.

I'll try that!!!!!
Holy smoke! Glad you’re up and running. I have cut a few coils off the choke spring to tighten them up. Used fishing line to pull the spring hook onto the choke flap.
