Hey there, I brought my 028 to a friend of a friend (an arbourist thats also a small engine guy) for a tune up, as it was running kinda wonky, and I didn't have the time to play with it.
He did clutch springs and a carb kit, and when he went to test the saw it was bogging down once it was hot, cold compression is good, and he suspects the crank seals. I am inclined to take his word on it.
My question is really this, he said it will cost about 100 bux to fix, is it worth it for an older 028 ( i cant remember which model 028, but its from the 'west germany' days pre 89. It was a great saw for a long time for my old man, and now that I have removed it from his garage and placed it in my own, I think it would be a nice compliment to my ms360.
Do it, or don't do it?
I'm thinking do it!
