Goodbye to the Chainsaw Man Enjoy!

I'm restoring a Stihl 066 and need a kit for a Walbro WJ48 carb. For those of you who have and sell these kits, please send me a private message with price and shipping. If you have them, I may be interested in other miscellaneous 066 parts. Thanks

Ms 361 They are not gone in SW Washington yet. I bought one 3 weeks ago for $589.95 before tax with 25" ES Bar and chain. Some local Stihl dealers had one or two left, and Madsens had at least 4 left.

RE: Oil Seal Suppliers Bantasaw.com is the only place that I have found on-line to buy oil seals. They are located in Warkworth, Ontario, Canada. The complete gasket kits include the oil seals. They have saved me the hassle and extra expense of ordering these items from the dealer on more...

I disagree with this statement below. No disrespect intended. It's simply wrong and some of us have learned it the hard way. >>Bogging down is not a typical symptom of crank seals. I am working on a 028 AV Super that is suffering from this exact problem right now and this is after cylinder...

Hello, Does anyone have the part numbers/descriptions handy for converting a 028 AV Super to the side chain (bar cover) tensioner type? What parts exactly are needed? I'm wondering about the thin metal plate that mounts to the crank case, does this need to be changed or can you use...

I called Baily's today and confirmed that it does include these other parts and yes I agree that is a fair price. I know from experience that most Stihl parts are quite spendy and I'm not at all surprised at the $80 price tag these others have paid their Stihl dealer for the rim conversion...

Hello, Can you tell me what drives the 028 oiler worm gear on this Oregon rim kit? Is it a special gear that fits the spline on the clutch drum? I thought I had what I needed to make this conversion but apparently not. I bought what was claimed to be the complete conversion kit on Ebay...

Well, it's fixed. I tore it down far enough to get a resistance reading on the coil. It was 11K ohms which is in spec. The plug boot spring was not conducting so I re-punctured the coil lead wire with the hook end of the plug boot spring on the opposite side of the lead wire. It fired right up...

Hi Chainsaw fans, I have not posted in a while and hope I can get some feedback on a new situation: MS 210 - 34 days out of warranty. No Spark This is an all of a sudden thing. Before I suspect the coil, I want to exhaust the options. So far I have done the following: 1. Checked...

BG 55 vs BG85 Thanks for bringing the up. Unless some the Stihl experts here can honestly dispell the myth, It does certainly appear that Stihl is engaging a stump the consumer marketing folly on this one. Or, maybe these mods to the 85 are worth the added $100-$150? >>85 has slightly larger...

In considering chaps alternatives lately I decided to try the Labonville pants with the pad inserts. There are two snaps at the top of the pad that attach to the pants and the lower pad fits into pocket sleaves inside. The polyester pants stretch and when you hold them up to light you can...

Yes you describe exactly how my 028 Woodboss was when I got it. Pes+ describes what sounds like an even older version that has no spring relief area on the oil pump cover. Mine is fixed now but there is currently an Ebay listing ending in 3 days showing the exact parts that were required for...

I have noticed that the later? oil pumps on the 028 AV and AV Super's have white plastic end caps on them. These plastic caps fit very loosely. Are they supposed to be that loose or is it better to fit a rubber O ring around the cap to help snug them up in their mount? Sorry, I don't mean to...

Hello, I doubt it's broken but rather came that way when it was new as the brake feature was optional for the early years of the 028 Woodboss. The only way you can tell from the outside is if you can see two screws next to each other where the handle meets the saw on the bar cover side of the...

Hi, Yes you really should either re-post this thread to the Chainsaw part of the AS forum as you will get many more responses or just search that forum on 028. Everything you need to know is there already. The 028 happens to be one of the most loved Stihl models and is worth keeping in most...

Chainsaw Milling Manual Greetings CSM folks, I too am new at chainsaw milling here in the pacific northwest and have been watching and reading on this forum. Thank you for all of the excellent information. I came across this Chainsaw Milling Manual the other day and thought it may be useful...

Well this all worked out good. The bar nose is on and the newly whacked rivets are flat, done with a 3lb hammer. I will be going to Madsen's for bar rail truing/grinding, a new sprocket and some chains. Thanks all!

Okay, does that mean that once the new nose is installed with new rivets that the bar is put on the bench grinder to smooth any differences in the bar/nose transition? I'm guessing here. Since this bar has had a good amount of wear, I am expecting that the new nose tip will be slightly wider...

Stihl ES Bar Tip Thanks everyone for your responses. I tried earlier with a punch on the anvil side of the bench vise and the rivets do not move. The rivets both look equally sized to me and flat on both sides of the bar. I got one of them out by drilling it. Two left to do. I center punched a...
