038 Magnum

[Burchie70]

I just bought an 038 magnum and it has a Bing 48 carb. I found the Stihl carb kit part number 1119 007 1066 but having a hard time finding one online. When I search I get a bunch of cheap Chinese kits that pop up. Anyone trust aftermarket kits like Oregon or something like them with a name brand ? Thanks

I've talked to these people on the phone, very nice humans to deal with.

By all means restore it. Here's a Pic of the saw that I should never have sold:

Pulling that 20" bar, it was never even breathing hard.

 

[Burchie70]

Nice saw Edwin. I’ll post pics of mine when I get it back together. Pulled it apart to give it a good cleaning.

Yeah, got rid of mine also. Someone wanted it worse at the time than I did..

 

[Mad Professor]

I've still have mine, and a couple 038S----->038M conversions. Carcasses and parts to outlast me

 

[Burchie70]

Mad Professor you happen to have inner and outer bar plates for a 038 you wanna get rid of ? Or know where I can get a set ?

 

[Burchie70]

Just waiting for a new bar and chain!

That is one nice clean 038M None of mine are that pretty.
Keep it, will last a longgggggg time.

What bar you getting? I usually run 25" ES bars. Have some 20" too if trees are small that my 036s share.

 

[Burchie70]

I was thinking 25”. I have a 028WB for limbing and smaller trees. Couple places near me are getting $100 or more for 25” bar without chain.

 

[Burchie70]

I have these also. 038AV and 044 in good shape

which one of these has most torque?

 

[Burchie70]

To me it feels like the 038 has more torque

 

[a. palmer jr.]

I would guess the 038 has the most torque and the 044 has the most rpms..

They’re still available new from Stihl.

They’re still available new from Stihl.

If you have a 038, the best investment is saving a parts carcass from the scrap yard.

You get a great selection of (dirty) inexpensive OEM parts, not from Chi-Coms. $ave money on part$, for those you need to count on (P/C, gasket/seals, bearings, hoses/rubber stuff, carb kits, filters...).
