Export thread

I replaced gas and impulse hose on my 028, removed the handle (4 screws) + top and side antivibe screws (learned later this was useless lol) but when finished I had a black screw left over that screws into plastic,,,I have looked everywhere and am puzzled,,anybody know where the black screws goes in an 028? The 3 anti vibe screws are bright, the handle screws are black.

Here is the 028 parts book
go through what you did and look at the parts.
most of them have sizes & threads so it should not be hard to work out which one you missed

Hey many THANKS
After studying the diagram it dawned on me that a screw came out of the antivibe so the gap would spread apart to get the impulse hose off/on edit; this saw is 35 + years old,seen a LOT of use and this is the first time i've had to do anything to it except chain/bar/change

Glad to hear you got it sorted.
Don't go telling people that a quality Stihl saw will run for a long time with only proper maintenance.
All the HF shoppers here know they are overpriced rip offs :laughing:
