way back when in 1982....before i was born mind you...a buddy of my fathers bought a Stihl 028 wood boss.
skip over a few decades..
He gave it to my dad to take a peak at because of irractic control at high speed. basically its strving out at full throttle. Much to my dismay we tried to find a carb re-build kit, the stihl dealer had one that "might work" the other kit appearently doesnt exist, no one makes it? well after tearign apart, this is not the correct kit.
so we have been told a new carb can be had for $125..my question, would be do they indeed make a carb rebuild for this saw, is it worth buying a new one if need be. canthe "other carb be used? is there another carb that can be used with this saw?
I would like to repair the saw for the guy, but from what i gather he says if it needs another 125 dollar carb he will buy a new saw, which in turn, because im nuts i would buy it, is it worth it?
any help would be great
