Got A Freebie Today!

[Dapper Dan]

OK, Fish.....I'm gonna take a stab at this one myself!

Nasty, dirty and obviously broken recoil.

Gonna take the recoil assy off my other 028 and test for spark & compression.

More later

For free? Great find!

 

[Dapper Dan]

Dumped old fuel out into a clean stainless pan

BAD.....VERY BAD (notice chunks in bottom of pan.

Put in some fresh fuel swished it around good and dumped it out (couple times)

Swapped out recoil assys and tested for spark and compression.

GOOD...VERY GOOD!

Time to see if I got lucky....nah not possible.

Pull several times....nothing......
Take off air cleaner and give it a squirt of mix.....
Roars to life.....and dies...
Three more times......same results...
Hmmm....guess I'm gonna try my hand at a carb rebuild....

BUT WAIT......Did I put any fuel in after I dumped it that last time?????

DUH.....Put in a half tank....two pulls and....runs... and runs....and idles.

Life is GOOD!

Now, let's see how she cleans up.

Very nice!!

 

[Dapper Dan]

OK....Better!

Not on par with Brad or Andy but....not bad for one afternoon.

Carb settings were way out (rich) Set it about 12,500.

Ordered a new gas cap (leaks) fuel filter, air filter and and recoil parts and I think that's all she needs.

Now what am I gonna do with 3 028's?

Now what am I gonna do with 3 028's?

Sell one to my collection. Actually, I have been working my way to acquiring one locally. I really like the lines on those saws.

Good find and great pics.

 

[bigbadbob]

Cleaned up nice!!
Great score.

Those green warning stickers on the handguard/chainbrake and the clear plastic over the 028 label just refuse to give up the ghost on the 028's My stickers etc look like new even after laying in the barn for years and from pressure washing the chicken crap off it........If its any indication of how the rest of the saw is built the saw will be destined to last for ever.
