Stihl 028 oil tank

[028 super]

I have been cutting some firewood with a late 028 super and it is stingy with oil. I have flushed the tank, and run a mix of bar oil and diesel through is and it still barely pumps oil. I have come to the conclusion the tank vent may be plugged. I was thinking the vent was behind bar mount wear plate, but nothing looked like the vent under there. Where is the vent located? I did notice the last time I checked the oil tank today it had a vacuum to it when I took off the cap .

Take a peek at the drive gears under the cover over the sprocket/clutch.

Here's the blowup.

drive gears are good and it oils with the bar off and watching the oil hole. It goes thru about a 1/3 of a tank of oil per fill up of mix. its just stingy.

The oil tank valve is found on the bar pad, you need to take the inner guide plate off to find/see it. Looks like a recessed silver disc with a hole in the center, part number from Stihl, 1128 640 9100

Thanks I will check into it tomorrow.

I say leave it alone unless the bar overheats and shuts the saw down. I've notice that all of my 028's also do not waste bar oil. Fabulous saws and one of the best models that Stihl ever made.

I know what the 028's are like I have 6 and this one is by far drier than the other ones. And it used to oil good, I've had this saw about 12 years.

#6

Stihl calls part #6, 118 162 5200 a bolt. As an owner of four 028 Supers, I would be interested in knowing how that impacts the flow of oil to the bar. Any ideas?

The ipl calls it a "valve".

The ipl calls it a "valve".

As stated in my post,# 5 but the correct IPL must be viewed to get the item number and the part number.

 

[HarleyT]

The pricelist doesn't call it anything, so it is NLA.

I took my saw down yesterday. Mine is a front tension saw but has the case designed for side tension. #6 is what # 25 rotates on for a side tension saw. I did not try to remove it as I did not want to cause more problems. I blew everything off on that side of the saw, removed the oil pump and blew out all the passages. I have an late Parts saw I may try to remove #6 to see if it is a vent. I am hoping with a good cleaning it may oil better. I found nothing wrong and the pump looks like new inside.

Sorry, was trying to save ink and paper.

Wouldn`t one from any other Stihl saw be the same?

 

[HarleyT]

1118 162 5200 is a pin, and it is number 7 on that ipl.

 

[HarleyT]

same "valve" is used on 042, 045,075, TS50. Looking into the TS50 "???"

 

[HarleyT]

050 missed the item search, it is the same as the TS50
