028 oiler

[tony marks]

okay another question that may seem elementary ,but typical,
for ole tony. on the opposite side[of the exhaust] of the chain theres a screw,
it apparently has to do with the oil as its marked 1 oil. is this an adjustment for oil flo or does the screw just hold the thing togather . the 028 is cutting super but seems to drop in cut performance as u stay in cut.by the way these guys have really helped this oldtimer pick up some tricks in sharpening. i can pretty well do a good job of making a chain cut properly.
its been a big thing for me.thanks for any input

oil

I would say it just holds it together as there is no oiler adjustment on an 028.

Aren't Stihls parts prices just wonderful? They are right in there with John Deere, who I understand makes more from parts sales than equipment.

parts

Depends on the part. I get parts for many saws, some are cheaper, some are not, no matter whose name is on them.

Good point Stihltech. It's the same with automobiles, saws, snowmobiles, tools, everything. There are cheaper and more expensive parts for every brand.
