Now then,the model .The 028,038 042 and 048 were all built on the same design.Fact some of the parts,like the oil pump is interchangable .They might be considered as antiquated but if you think about it they were made for the long haul .Many are still in service after 20 some years of usage ...

If I could figure out why my freakin e-mail won't send I could send a file with the part numbers.My son the I-T guru will be here around Christmas time then maybe I can do something. I think I have them on a CD as well as scanned from paper IPL's .

I never had problems finding parts for an 038 . The 038 much like the 10-10 McCulloch was so popular I'd imagine you could find used parts for the next 40 years because they made so many .

I'm not sure they still make a flocked filter with the fuzzy stuff .The last OEM Stihl filter I bought was for an 036 and it had a kind of paper like filter media .

A flocked filter does a better job than a screen filter .

Some that ran them in the day remarked the 038 series was a hot weather saw .A few years I did some some work in 95 degree weather .I found that true when they would fire right up with no vapor lock as did several other saws I was using those several days would lock up because of the heat and...

Parts aren't that hard to find.They made so many they will be around for years to come plus after market stuff .Weight wise according to what I gather it's only about .2 pound heavier than an 044 . I've only seen several of the 038 super models so evidently not many were sold .Probably due to...

If I would have had to have paid for all my tooling at original prices I have no doubt it would exceed a 100 grand .This area once had a zillion little machine shops which are mostly gone now .That stuff sold at auctions for a penny ,nickle on the dollar .I scarfed it up . I've seen good...

Now about parts .This is a no BS story . I know an old coot that dissasembled some old lathe ,measured what was need .Reassembled it and made new parts to repair the same machine .Saw the lathe and drank beer with the guy who owned a cutter grind shop .He may have passed by now as it was 25-30...

I'm not aware if they even make a small manual lathe in the USA any more .If so Southbend would be it . Monarch which built the Cadillac of all of them is now just a parts depot for several brands .They own the largest repository of NOS Lodge and Shipley parts in the world plus Monarch and...

Atlas made a fairly substantial machine .About the same as a Southbend .They won't cut true enough to make parts for the space shuttle but can get-er-done just fine for about most anything else .You can get chucks and stuff relatively cheap too . My Monarch 10EE can cut space shuttle parts but...

You don't have to dome up a piston to make hot runner .I've seen a bunch of flat tops that run like the wind .With me it was just a preference and I have the machine tools and the knowledge to do it . Actually if you cut to the chase it's all about preferences and really there must be a...

I should write this stuff down but I don't so I have rely on memory . Seems to me on both the mag plus an Av I also did it was around 100-101 exhaust stock and 20 after transfers .I didn't raise the exhaust on the av as much ,maybe a couple but it was wide . The mag was with a turned dome in...

Muratic acid might do it .Being a Mag II it would be a plastic tank /handle .I don't know how mild acid would affect the plastic .I'd probabley try the vinegar first . There is some stuff called CLR which is good for cleaning up lime, rust etc .I've ran it through the Bunn coffee maker and...

I had the width of around 60 some percent of the bore and knew the time which was 96 degrees past top dead center .The shape is just eyeballed .

I didn't have any pictures of the final outcome .These are pictures of the second time going in .They are the "rough in" not the finish.It's nothing extraordinary just typical stuff about everyone does in one form or another . If you note the intake side of the upper transfers that was my...

Unless that 038 mag is on it's last legs you will more than get your money out it .

The 034-036 is a nice size and has lot of potenial for 60 cc .Fact in my garage I have in fact an 034 super which is essentually an 036 by displacement .With as much as I have on my plate I just haven't had time to pursue it any farther --but I certainly will in time . As far as that...

I won't go too much in step by step but it took 4 tries before I got it where I wanted it . It ended up with a domed piston ,96 after exhaust port opening and around 25-27 degree blow down .The ignition timing was not changed .Exhaust port taken out to around 60 percent width of the bore ...

45-50 I suppose .
