i asked stihl how many 028's had been produced. just curious. i mentioned i was restoring a points model. here was their response:
Thanks for your E-mail and your interest in STIHL products.
Please know that STIHL is a privately owned company and we do not provide production numbers. However, the 028 chainsaw was made in Va. Beach, Va. from 1979-1990.
We stopped using points in the 028 in 1983.
I hope this helps and if I can be of any further assistance, please let me know.
