Make sure the chain has not got wedged in between sprocket and washer that holds it on.

If you are need of a coil, the 028 takes the most popular coil Stihl makes. Part number 0000-400-1300. Plenty of good used one floating around.

I agree. Some bad shops out there and we all get labeled.

Sheared flywheel keyway?

Impluse hose unhooked behind carburetor? Cracked fuel hose?

Take to two plastic plugs out of flywheel. Set flywheel back on crankshaft and there you have your cam. You can adjust your points from there with a small screwdriver.

6 bucks off the saw 8 bucks on the saw teeth and rackers Franz does a great job. Less than 2 years old and has paid for it self. Never calls in sick for work either.

Dang I guess it has been that long. Where has time gone?

The 088 was not made 20 years ago. Be sure and check the model number. It depends on alot of different things as far as value. It also depends on how bad you want it.

I cant really tell from the pictures but looking at what I do see, I see fresh clean plastic where the break is. If it had been like that from the start, it would be dirty in the break. I do agree with the comment on a hairline fracture. That is possible and should be covered if that is the...

The bar and chain your looking at is the 3/8 P. It is a 3/8 extended pitch chain and should not be used on the 038. On the 038, you will need the 33rsc or the 33rmc3 type chain or the regular 3/8 type chain. 16" will take 60 links. That little chain will snap and break with all the power the 038...

Even though you all are many miles away from me, these type dealerships just piss me off. I know my employees do not know everything but dang. If your gonna try to sell something, know the product. It makes us all look bad.

Seems like were thinking along the same thing at the same time!

I am not going to say operator error or design flaw. It is strang for this to happen though. If I were Stihl, with the technology that Stihl has, I would call for the first case half and now this case half and investigate. A good question to ask, are the serial numbers close together with each...

8mm socket with ratchet for the 025/250 family.

That 028 did not come with a guide plate if there is no screw hole for it. The press fit plates came out well after the 028 were discontinued.

The 3 indcates that there is 3 of them on the top cover. My retail is $8.56 ea. Not far off from what you had.

The compression concerns me a little. The bigger thought is, is the spark you have getting there at the right time? Why did you go back to points?

The MS 290 is still in production and I would recomend staying with the .325 pitch chain. I think that the 3/8 pitch pulls to much power out of the MS 290.

Some 028's had them and some did not. Some 028's had an adjustable oil pump and some did not. Look and see if yours does and if it is turned wide open. The adjuster will be on the bottom of the saw about in line with the crankshaft. If it has a screw, it only turns like a 1/4 turn. Make sure it...
