OK Stihl guys...I've got a question...

[Captain]

Actually, I need help.

I've got an older 028 WB in the shop.  It needs a carb.  The Tillotson that is in it is shot...too much water for too long.

I'm trying to find a replacement carb.  My Walbro Catalog lists a WA 128 for an 028 AV.  The Tillotson body style looks like a WA series Walbro.  Does anybody know if that will fit and work??  Any other suggestions??

Thanks!!

I can't say for sure. I do know that the 028 shared some parts with the later 026, and the 026 used Walbro carbs on most of the model years. I don't know if the early 026 uesd the Tillotsons or not?

I'd research at  acresinternet (chainsaw collector's corner) to see what other saws used the same Tillotson carb you have. Then I'd look and see what other carbs were used on those saws. So if A and B interchanged, and B and C interchanged, then C should also interchange with A.

The WB should take a Tilllotson HU or Walbro WT, either one.

[Captain]

Thanks Kevin.  It looks correct, but I was concerned about the linkage.

I don't suppose you know what model WT, my catalog does not list it.  I think the WA 128 supercedes to a WT model actually....

I can't say, this might give you a comparison ...

There's only a few to choose from ...

Yes the Tillotson and the Walbro carb that they used on the 028s are interchangeable. No alterations are necessary.
The 026 carb will not work on the 028.
They came factory with the Walbro WT 16.
