Vids please. Weird.
The saw puked another Meteor cylinder in the exact same way as the one before. This time the piston and cylinder both went in the trash. I replaced the top end with a brand new OEM cylinder kit I acquired recently. Big difference now in compression (more) , can feel it when starting. Runs great. Only downside is now I have to heli-coil the left side M5 screw for the muffler/case. Finally wore it out. Saw runs terrific though. Have just under a tank run thru it and it hasn’t hiccuped once. Me fingers are crossed.

I think the red lever saws of any Stihl model were pre EPA. They generally had better port timing numbers and a tick more power. Maybe slightly higher compression. These are for all stock OEM saws.
I have seen the 028 super with some having the super in red letters and some in black letters. I never thought to see if the color of the letters corresponded to the lever color. Guess I'll have to Google some pics.

Fell out of a carcass I’m resurrecting. Has a 1118 number on it.

Where’s the best place to get ms 462 felling dogs? Tree guy I fix saws for loves the 462 but can’t stand the small single spike. Went to dealer and he looked the west coast dogs for a 462 and tried to order them one was on back order and other was an invalid part number even though it came from stihls site. Now I’m looking at aftermarket ones any suggestions? Lots of big silver maple with coarse bark.
