I currently have a Stihl 028 AV super wood boss that was given to me from my uncle and it really does do what I need. However, lately it's been acting like there is bad gas in it and I know there isn't. I replaced the fuel filter and changed the gas. It starts on the 1st or 2nd pull and will rev up fine but when I try to put it under load it will act like it wants to die. I am not sure if it's just me or not but when I move the saw around it seems to help?? My next guess is the carb and I will clean it tonight and see if this resolves anything. If I were to replace it would a ms 260 fit the bill? I see lots of good reviews on that saw and wouldn't mind if it was a little lighter. Thanks!
