    Stihl 026 - fuel leaking from exhaust

    Ihave to thank everyone who took time out on my saws issue. Guess what the forum here said it was the needle valve and I was thinking that three carburettors can’t possibly have all the same problem. THEY ALL DID!!!

    Stihl 026 - fuel leaking from exhaust

    I’m going to borrow a carb compression tester, but all three having the same issue after been ultrasonic cleaned and a new carb kit installed seems odd.

    Stihl 028 air filter cover

    Does anyone know where to buy an air filter cover in the UK for a Stihl 028? Stihl don’t sell them anymore and eBay doesn’t have any listed at present.
