Stihl 028 Wood Boss AV - Early Christmas!

Yeah I called a few and they don't have it. Baileys isn't even a Stihl dealer! They must have connections.

 

I went to check the vent line to see if it has those screws in there......and it fell apart into 4 pieces.

So now I need to find one of those! Sawagain.com is out of stock. I suppose I could just use any hose that fits the nipple.....

And no, the screws were not in the vent hose.

 

For that price, it must be mob connections!
They probably bought up some NOS somewhere/sometime in the past...dealer selling out or something...

 

Sometimes you gotta pay to play.

 

Yup...running with the big dogs now!

 

I knew it was going to happen sooner or later.....just didn't think it would happen THIS soon and like this. hahahahaha.

 

Hey, when a deal like this comes along, gotta jump!
One face cord of firewood...

 

3rd fire of the year......and I'd say it's going swimmingley well.

Start at 8:29

Just now 12:07



Look at that nice bed o' embers! It's 71 in here atm.

 

I just bought one for an 029 I was working on for a guy. With the screws,$11.99.

 

damm that sucks. Do you know what the inner diameter of the hose or the outer diameter of the screws are?

 

I've always been a fan of NGK, but recently I've been buying Denso plugs was they are as good of quality, but less cost. On my sportsman 500 ATV, I bought a new Denso iridium plug just a couple weeks ago. It ended up that when I pulled the plug, I must've changed it and forgot that I did because there was an NGK iridium in it. That wasn't stock.

 

Nevermind, I called the Stihl dealer that I purchased my cant hook and peavey from.....And he's about an hour's drive in Bridgeport, CT.........He said he can get everything, all oem........

Air filter $27.49 1118 120 1611
Vent line with screw $3.50. He said it only comes with one screw. Hm.
Fuel cap $7.49 00003500520
Oil cap $7.49 000035000510
Fuel line w/ filter $9.99, $3.99 11183587700. Ordered 2 sets.
Impulse line $6.49 11151418600
2 NGK Bpmr7a spark plugs $5 each
26RS-74 chain .325 pitch .063 gauge $30
Rollomatic bar 18" $50

$208.35 shipped to my door.

I suppose I could have saved a few bucks by buyin an oregon chain......but seeing as this is my first Stihl chainsaw, I figured I'd do it oem and see how it goes.

 

And also I like having a spare bar. It's not wise to have just the one bar. I'll sharpen up the existing chain on the saw and I'll have 3 chains in total. Woo hoo.

 

No I'm sorry I dont.

 

Most prices look about right. The chain might be a bit high but I'm spoiled with my Stihl dealer doing buy 2 get 1 free. Without looking I think a couple of my older saws may only have 1 grub screw in the vent tube.

 

Yeah the Oregon version of the chain is $17.20 on Amazon. Based on some Buckin' Billy Ray Smith videos it looks like the Oregon chain performs better.....I will try it out.

 

Just took the cover off for the chain and was expecting a mess.......but lo and behold, it was looking pretty darn clean in there. No green or yellow dots on the bar. The bar is showing its age I suppose.

 

Stihl’s conventional fuel line is close to that vent ID and OD. The grub screws are proprietary but are cheap and push right in.

If there’s enough room in the carb box, an echo tank vent is a better option than the grub screws. This model is tight, however.

I bought an air filter for $30 about a year ago. Your price is ok there.

 

Some do, yep.

I’ve slowly moved away from grub screws. Yea they work, but they can leak some gas (annoying) and cause running issues if the vents don’t allow the passage of air. The Echo style (Stihl has a similar one) are the best.
