Looks like it had bad air filtration.

Try to clean it up. My bet is that it’s usable.

And yes, that’s a 46mm super jug and piston.

Sit at the computer and buff the cylinder with fine emory cloth, it should clean up fine.
You will need a new piston/rings.

@Jkstihl : do you know if paper copies of that Stihl manual are still available for purchase from us common mortals? Thanks.

I will clean the cylinder and post a pic for approval. ill order a piston (meteor?). and a 028 manual would be super helpful.

I can print the pdf and send your way for a small fee

This is on the "Good Stihl Info" thread...

Maybe someone could make it "sticky"....

I am preparing to rebuild an 028 Super. It seems that the original jug is best IF it is still in good shape. From viewing through the ports the piston looks very good. If the jug and piston is good, should I hone the cylinder before reinstalling the original piston fitted with new rings?

I didn’t see any honing instructions in the shop manual.

Can use some scotchbrite and WD40 in the bore. Don’t hone it in the traditional sense.
