038 magnum carb info

[joe25DA]

At some point someone swapped a chicom carb on this saw and it’s not behaving. It’s flooding, won’t respond to adjustments, the metering lever is plastic, not adjustable. What a POS. Also no part number/manufacturer. Just need the carb info for an 038 Magnum

Are there Walbro carbs which people swap onto these saws?

 

[joe25DA]

Wish the guy had kept the oem. A rebuild would have fixed likely.

Tillitsons

Yeah, the Bings were pretty good about rebuilding, except the carb kit cost $55 in 2003.


I had actually contacted Bing to try to get a better price on a larger quantity, hell, they were higher than Stihl's price!!

Ordered a new Bing for it. The saw is in great shape, I cant wait to use it, compare with my 044.

The 381 carb works fine

I think Duke's has a Bing copy for sale. I can't say how good or bad it is, but I have one of their WT194 copies that has run good for the few months I have been using it.

The BING inlet lever height is adjustable. If too high, use a small punch from the screen side with small taps. If too low, find a punch that fits the outside diameter of the seat and tap in. Pretty common repair on a BING. I prefer the BING on an 038 for reliability.

038 mags came with two carbs Bing or Tilly HK42B.

You can still get Zama for 038 from stihl

may have to get fuel pump cover from c3 or order it too as it comes with compensator cover

Are there no 381 parts available in the US? The 381 carb and air filter works fine. Better, IMO, than the admittedly well used Bing that was on the 038 MAG when I got it. The OEM Bing 48 kits seemed to be pretty well NLA over here when I looked around a few years ago

I used an aftermarket carb kit in both my 038 mags. Don’t recall the brand but if I remember correctly they were made in USA. I think I have some at work, I’ll take a look tomorrow.

 

[joe25DA]

I told my buddies at the shop to get me the best chicom carb he could find. Kinda like the tallest midget. I’ll try it, if it sucks too I’ll look for an old tillotston or bing. Might have a Tilly in the carb box.

Found a few Bing 48’s on eBay. You could also get a Tillotson HE-19A they’re good carbs, I’ve used a few so far.

I bought a Bing from them, it was a good, clean used carb. All of the parts I have bought from them have been as good as or better than described.

I’ve bought quite a bit from them as well. Always been very nice usable parts. I’m like 75 miles away from their shop so anything I buy shows up in a day or two.
