This would be the sealing ring on the 028 WB gas cap, where can I get the dimensions? They don't sell them at our local shop (just the new cap) so I was going to try the local hardware store.
here's the ring http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=028 woodboss gas cap sealing ring&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X00003591220&_nkw=00003591220&_sacat=0
Thanks HittinSteel, I did buy a new cap but thought I could get a simple washer for the original cap, I'll give it a try at the local hardware store tomorrow.
I changed my posts around........ the ring is $4.50 shipped, which depending on how much your time and your fuel is worth, may or may not be a good deal. Good Luck.
I just spoke with the local hardware store, he thinks they have something that will work, I'll post again tonight on what they have.
I may have one! It's the same as the 034, right? I got one new from my dealer in September... I thought I had a leaky cap but it was just coming out the tank vent. The cap was fine so I didn't replace the 0-ring. It's yours if you want it, no charge.
Yea I found one on ebay for about that price. I was suspect of my cap too so I just spent the few more dollars for a new cap. My deal did not have a seal either for the 011 I think its a standard thing as there is little price difference.
I picked up the washer (it's different then the original, it sits on top of the groove instead of in it, can this cause a problem?) The washer is on it at the moment, it stopped the leak, I also picked up an O ring, I might give that a try. Can you have the seal be to tight? The washer was .45 cents and the O ring was .85 cents. The thickness is 1/8.
Does the fuel tank vent line have a small plug or screw in it, this is behind the filter on the 028 WB.
I dont know, thats the stihl part number in the thread title. If it stopped the leak your probably good. And yes you can overtighten a cap and actually increase the leak.
Yeah. As Hittin said, it can be to tight. When they are in good shape, you can just hand tighten. My 036, I just had tighten.
I put the new gas cap on last night, I'll start it up later today. When I started it up with the old gas cap with the new washer on it, the saw seemed to idle different. I talked with our local shop this morning, he said I might need to see if the fuel line vent has two plugs, if it does he suggest maybe taking one out so I could see if it runs better. The oiler gear on the 310 is fixed, the old one was shot.
