Hey everyone,
In a continued effort to find and rehab affordable stihl saws I picked up an 015L and an 028WB yesterday. The 015L responded well to a bit of scrubbing and cleaning and finally regapping the spark plug was all it took to get her running happily. The 028 looks to be in good enough shape though the carb was completely dismantled. I think the real culprit in the saws alleged poor running is a well cracked old fuel line, but that remains to be seen.
My Question; The 028 has no chain chain brake. Is this things missing that assembly? The serial number is E7800xxx. The oiler runs off a big white plastic sprocket. The chain brake handle moves but there's no band and thus no brake. I assume its missing parts but I figured I'd ask before I go any further.
thanks.
