I'm posting this to update my first re: actually using this saw in the field.

I had run two tanks through when the saw started throwing the chain near the end of the day. It tossed it three or four times before I quit. I was leaning toward returning it when I noticed the chain was somewhat discolored and the oil had run dry. I took it home, let it rest, refueld and reoiled and took it out again last Friday.

She threw the chain within three minutes of putting chain to wood. I wrestled with it a bit and started again. This time, the lead nut tightening the bar rattled off and disappeared into the brush. Now, I thought, I was really screwed--throwing the chain, no lead nut, and a full two and half to three hours of wood to cut with no saw. So moved the rear nut to the front screw and fired it up.

I cut the next two and a half hours without a hitch. The chain was dull at the end of the day but the saw had saved itself. Ironically, after two hours of cutting, I managed to find the nut I lost in the brush and the saw is now whole.

it is identical just more cc's

Wait - you have one and I don't but the 45cc is a different saw. The 41 and the 38 are identical. The 38 is based on the G3800 and the 45 is based on the G450 - G5000 design.

I think WoodHeatWarrior is right on this one. I'll bet 08 was thinking 41 and 38 being nearly identical, which is true. The 45 I (briefly) laid hands on was different tank layout, muffler, engine, and so on. I have been told the 45 cc cylinder will bolt on to the 38 cc crank case but haven't been able to get another 45 to try it.
