This is as far as I got tonight. I only had a few minutes to wipe it down. I'll dig in a little farther tomorrow hopefully. I doubt those pictures help any.

Well, if you make it up to Ohio, you've got one on loan as long as you'd like to use it! It definitely makes me a little more cautious while in running it. It's got more power than I'm used to, and I know it. It sounds so good though! I'm looking for bigger stuff to cut just so I can run it...

Sure Magnus. I'll post some pictures once I get it disassembled for cleaning. Thanks for the fuel information. I appreciate all of the info I get from this site. It's a great resource. I had a couple chunks of wood laying around and decided to let it eat a little last night. The 18" pine never...

At the risk of opening a huge can of worms, I have a fuel/oil question. The manual calls for 40:1 mix. The new Stihl Ultra? Oil mixes at 50:1. I'm sure oil has come a ways since 1981. Should I mix a gallons worth of oil with 8/10ths of a gallon and run it at 40:1?

That's pretty cool to see. Thanks. Hopefully I won't need anything. There are just a couple little things wrong with it.

I took it to my local dealer today to have them look at it. They said it would need a new case to have the chain brake work since this one doesn't have the indentions for the springs and levers, etc. The guy that works on them said he'd only worked on a handful of 048s and that this one looked...

Serial number shows 6960596.

I did a quick inspection tonight. On the bottom of the handle I can read "9 1117 791 1005". The head seems really clean. The only part that wasn't completely clean aluminum was a small semicircle under the intake. There is a small 2" black wire next to and under the kill switch that is broken...

This one was spelled wrong. He had it listed as "Shtil 048" and didn't have the word chainsaw anywhere in the ad. I'm surprised I ever found it. Apparently no one else found it either!

On a side note, I believe I've contracted a new ailment: C.A.D - Chainsaw Acquisition Disorder. I find myself browsing Craigslist looking for good deals on saws. Even saws that are bigger than I need. Like an 048. Hopefully $150 for a good running and oiling 048 wasn't too bad. It need the...

Thanks Magnus. From what I've read they added the chain brake mid-way through the production run. Mine has the handle, and it's spring loaded, but there is no "guts" under the cover. I'll see if I can get a picture. I'd really like to get a brake on this saw. It's definitely got some power.

Reviving an old thread... Is it possible to retrofit a chain brake to an 048 that didn't come with one?
