Picked up a Stihl chainsaw today that has all the badging wore off on the covers.
Looks used hard but has good compression and will run on spray -rebuilding carb now. Needs some AV mounts and TLC.
Pulled the carb and I find a BING 48 carb -new one for me, never seen a BING carb -let alone one in a Stihl. Claims to be made in Germany though... cross ref'd the carb and looks to be found on older 038's
Called the local Stihl dealer and gave him the serial # on the case by the muffler which he tossed into his computer and he came back saying it wasn't a valid # and that he'd have to call Stihl HQ to get more info.
Serial # on the case: 119101808
I'm guessing an 038?? but not sure whether is a Mag or even a Mag II.
Any help is appreciated!!
