Any Stihl Experts Identify This Incomplete Power-Head

[gdrew888]

I'm late to see/comment on this one.


All the picture shows is the throttle butterfly. Need to open that to see inside or take carby off.


Recoil cover is a sign that it's an 034 , not an 036.

Not sure if/how you can tell externally 034 vs 034S cylinders apart? I would measure bore with plastic straw method.

Is this helpful? I'm thinking 036?

My guess is that it’s a chainsaw, it might be a stihl? Not certain.

I'm guessing its cocktail hour where you live...

Haha, just had lunch yes! I couldn’t resist, it was silly really, but I giggled to myself while writing it!

Sometimes it's hard, much like the what type of wood is this, firewood lol.

The awkward choke linkage design and the tank vent should make it an 034... unless it has been Frankenized.

Either o34 or 036 - both are a nice saw to have.

Yep, 1125 series. Not the later 036 pro or MS360... at least the tank area.

Great saws for sure.

034 super KS.
Here's the 024 cylinder, look at the top fins, or lack there of.

Here's the 026.

Winner Winner....

That’s an 034 Super and you suck. Excellent saw. The top of the jug gives it away.

Nope, 034. Shine a flashlight down the intake, 034 has a tonsil while an 036 does not.

Not on the 034 Super. On the 034 46mm there is a intake tit, they removed it for the 48mm variant.

That’s an excellent saw. The other clue is the bright orange plastics. The early 036 were more brick red. The fuel caps are the old style. Almost all standard 034 had front tensioner, I have seen a few standards with a side adjust but it’s rare.

There are different mufflers, some need the spacer and some don’t. If you give us a peek inside we can let you know.

I think you may have a standard 034 muffler on there with a spacer.

The super muffler has an extended baffle the comes forward and empties out on both sides, the standard a more traditional ventilated box type.

When I upgraded my 034 to an 036, finding the correct muffler to fit was the toughest part of the job. Regardless, it runs fine today and often makes me forget that I have an MS361 resting in its case.

I got a nice looking one just waiting on a piston and another one for parts, finished up a MS 441 yesterday and it was good having another 441 for a parts saw. Don't know much about the 034 but it sounds like a worthwhile saw to put some time into.

I think you nailed it, looks standard w/spacer based on your description.

When I was getting the picture of the inside of the muffler for the 034-s I took the piston cover off my other 034 for comparison. I noticed the cover has a small adjustable door on the right top between the cylinder cover and the carb cover. Is this to aid in airflow for cooling when working in hot conditions?

 

[rupedoggy]

Just the opposite. Puts warm air in for winter usage.

Good stuff there .

I think they are the same except for the exhaust port mod I did on this one to keep it from burning the clutch cover.
