I like Husqvarna chainsaws...
I've got an old stihl 028 super av. I believe its a 1982 model. I did some repair work on it last year. Rebuilt carb, new coil with plug wire, new impulse and gas line, stripped it down and cleaned it good. I got it to run for maybe 30 min. And then nothing. It wil fire it i give it a shot of starter fluid. Took it to repair shop and they said piston is shot. Now i'm learning about pressure and vacuum testing as well. I guess my question is how do i evaluate if this saw is worth working on (I plan to do it myself) ? So many variables that i know little to nothing about and i don't want to sink $$$ into it if its not worth fixing. Thanks!
