Wellllll.... My wallet is certainly not bottomless, but I understand. And I am willing to pay for (and maintain) tools that perform and will last.

Thanks for the reply, Mr. Wolf. I'll expand my search...

Yes, I need a saw. I've been fortunate enough to borrow an 020T (or maybe MS 020T) for the past couple of years. It was a magical beast, and.... he needed it back. Please keep me in mind. I don't know how to Personal Message, exactly, but would send my phone number if I were to learn...

You're off and running. My 028 is almost identical (actually I don't know what having "WOODBOSS" on the badge even means). It has been just a great saw for me. I got it used five years ago, and in terms of maintenance have only ever done a tuning of the carb (screws) and replaced the plug...

I'm back home from a trip down memory lane (and family reunion), and tickled to see the positive, happy posts on this thread. I started it with an oil leak, but it's turning out to be all gushy with love for a wonderful saw. Cool beans. ~Allen

Fantastic! Thank you, Ray. ~Allen

I couple days ago, I requested the Service Manual and IPL for a newly acquired saw. It is STIHL 056 AV electronic, I believe it is s/n E7557138 (that first 7 may be a 2). Very helpful arborist 'atpchas' was kind enough to oblige, and I am sincerely grateful. But as it turns out his scan of...

Also, I did beg for a Service Manual on the 'beg for manuals' thread. And very helpful arborist 'atpchas' was kind enough to oblige. But as it turns out his scan of the SM is mostly for the 045, and in fact the first few lines read: It is also a bit tough to make out what is happening in the...

I said the badge plate reads "STIHL 056 AV electronic". Does the "electronic" part mean electronic ignition? vs. flywheel magneto? ~Allen

My 028 is running so well again. I'm loving it. Except for the "slight" oil leak out the bottom. I have taken some pix as Harley requested, and will post them in a few hrs. This is the badge plate on top of my saw. I read folks here talking about their 028, or 028 Super, or 028 AV, or...

Mr Palmer, what do you mean, "All my 290s have been turned into 390s..."? ~Allen

Hello again. I have just been given a project in a box. The top cover badge plate reads: STIHL 056 AV electronic I assume I can find the User/Safety Manual, though it's not on the StihlUSA site. I would sincerely appreciate the Service Manual and IPL for this saw. Thank you in advance! ~Allen

I will do that, Harley. Thanks to you, and everyone else, for all your help with the 028 oiler problem. ~Allen

OH! I forgot. I just closed the loop on my 028 oiler thread http://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/028-av-super-woodboss-eq-oiler-problem-service-manual.299474/ but forgot to mention my new acquisition. Seems ripe for a new thread, so... I was talking Monday afternoon with a neighbor...

Oh baby! I've been using the heck out of this wonderful saw the past few days. I am very happy with the repair results. Plenty of oil making its way to the chain now. I had already sharpened the chain and tuned the jets, so she's been just great. My only complaint(?) is not all of the oil...

OK. I think she's fixed. First, I had to understand how the pump works. And thanks to the generosity of 'atpchas', I have the service manual now. I captured an image from the manual which is here (the text box and arrows were added by me): The description of operation in the manual reads...

I'm on the way. Woot! Still have this question: does the plug require glue/cement of some sort to keep it in place?

Seven and a half years late, I know. But that is a beautiful saw in great condition. I hope it worked out for you. ~Allen

Oh my goodness. Chas, you're the best. Thank you, sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar, and I do sincerely appreciate your time. If I hadn't just finished it myself, I'd give you my last beer. ~Allen

Back home... Yes, Harley, the pin was present and tight, no slop. Note: when I am holding the assembled pump in my hand (out of the saw), rotating the worm gear sprocket indeed turns the piston as it should. So now... if the loose plug in the end of the pump body (part #13 in the right side...
