    The 028, Type 1118 was built from 1977 to 1993. The 028 Wood Boss was built from 1983 to 1993. It had more displacement and more power than the older ones : 51,5 cubic centimeters and 3,4 hp or 2,5 kw. Regards from Northern Germany.

    I have a Stihl 028 AV Super that I got under similar circumstances. As a very impressionable teen, I once watched this saw being put through its paces and it got me hooked on chainsaws. After the gentleman died, his wife gave it to me because she knew I would get it running again and look after it. I got it running again for purely sentimental reasons, but it's proven to be a such a great saw, seemingly running better than my brand-new MS 271. I have always screwed up my face the "they don't make em like the used to" thing, but this is so true for the 028. That's for the video!

      @paulmaxwell8851 2 месяца назад

      I'm not sure what to think. We live in a farming/ranching area with many German, Austrian and Swiss immigrants. I've asked about this, and some insist Stihl is pronounced "shtill". Some insist it's "still" and others say it's "steel". No-one can agree. I say "shtill", and that seems as good as anything!

    West Germany and East Germany existed until 1990. After that the former GDR (east Germany) became the "neue Bundesländer" as the GDR was reunited with West Germany (Wiedervereinigung), today there is just one Germany. I don't know when Stihl stoped to use the term West Germany but I assume in 1990.

    This is how my 260 runs. Will only idle for some 10 seconds of so then dies or it dies when i just touch the trigger, all after warming up. Idle fine when cold. When at throttle it runs great. Took to shop but they just put a new plug in and said it ran for a half hour. Unfortunately that plug fouled or failed first time i took it out to cut a load of wood. Even after i pulled it and made sure it was clean, started back up and it died after i started it and wouldn't restart. Went back to town and got a new plug and it ran fine.

  • @29chevbolenschannel40
    @29chevbolenschannel40 3 месяца назад +1

    Another great repair - thanks for sharing to logic process to determine the problem. Was wondering if the tool that you used to remove the fuel line off the carb nipple would also work to remove the fuel line from the tank rather than using the needle nose pliers? I imagine the needle nose pliers give you more leverage to pull the grommet portion of the line out of where it seals in the tank but I would think they could damage the fuel hose if someone was trying to save a fuel line if it was still in good shape. Really enjoy watching your videos.

    The two Stihl saws I owned prior the the late 1970s were made in West Germany. If I remember correctly all Stihls were made in Europe prior to the mid 1970s. From the mid 1970s into early 1980s American made saws began showing up. I've owned 4 Stihls, one second hand and three new, over the past 50 years. I still own 2, one 30+ years old and one about 3 years old. The newest is the homeowner type, junk IMO.

  • @REDLINERUNNER

    I have been watching your videos and I have learned a bunch, great job. If you can do a video on a FS55 Stihl trimmer or something similar if you have any of those in for repair, I have one that is hard to start.

    I’ve seen a very similar issue with the A/C system in my truck, but in reverse. I can pull a vacuum on the system and it holds just fine, but charge the system and it will all leak out. I suspect bad compressor seals will hold vacuum but not pressure.
