Stihl 041 parts

[FarmBossFanatic]

Where can I find parts for my 041 Farm Boss? The saw will only run if I pour fuel into the carb. Any suggestions as to the cause of the problem? I have searched all over the internet and cannot find fuel related parts for an 041.
I NEED HELP!

Check your fuel pick up and line in the tank . Open up the carb and check the screen,diaprams which sometimes get stiff, Make sure all passageways are open.May take some time but doesnt sound like it should take to much to fix.If it is not an av model I wouldnt want to put much in the saw myself.Carb kits should be availuble from dealers I would think. Keep your eyes on ebay and ebay stores and you should find most any thing for the 041,
I've noticed not all 041 parts look the same and would guess some do not interchange. I have a small collection of 041 parts including a carb that was differant then mine at the time. Came from ebay and tag says its rebuilt or new carb kit. If your interested give me your carb numbers. I don't think I have a fuel line but can check if your interested. Check the sponsers that sell used parts here first.

Carb kit - RK23-HS $5 on the net, $26+ from Stihl.

Fuel line - buy a new filter and some 3/16 fuel line

You'll be loggin'

Is the old 041 Farm Boss not as good as an 041 AV?

I cant just buy a 3/16 fuel line because the top of the line sorta funnels out into a bowl shape to fit snugly down into the fuel tank. Here are some pictures. I'll take it apart and clean it and let you know if I might need additional help.

Like the previous poster told you. A carb kit will solve your problem. Tillotson RK-23HS. Check your fuel line and filter as well. This is a good saw, but a bit dated.

It may have nothing to do with fuel at all.. the most common cause of similar problems on the 041 is the impulse line... It just breaks. Second is a loose carb mount block and maybe your mount block gaskets.

The impulse line runs from a nipple below the front of the carb to the pump cover. You'll need to remove the air-filter mount plate to access it.

The impulse line is just a piece a Stihl size non-molded fuel hose. If need the tank fuel hose, don't buy used... just go to a Stihl dealer and order a new one. The new rubbers will last pretty much forever.

BTW.. not all Stihl dealers sell Stihl carb kits. Even within Stihl kits, there are are two different prices. Yours may well have an after market or Tilotson kit at greatly reduced prices.

Maybe you didn't hear me. The problem is in the carburetor. We will wait and see if I'm right. Impulse line failures are rare compared to metering diaphragms going hard due to stale fuel. Good day sir.

No Simon... he just said it wouldn't run without gas being poured in the carb... a symptom, not a cause.

We fix several of these per month, and impulse line/carb block probably run 10:1 over carb.
It may well be carb, but don't discount the other causes..

Do you want a spanking in front of all these nice people Andy?

Only if you're 6 feet tall, blond, big boobs, small waist (and female).

Is the Tillotson kit the same as a Stihl my 041 has a Tilloston carb #138 I got the kit from my Jred dealer. But at a much lower price! I had a similar problem with the old girl she had not been used in years no fuel in it, but nothing gummed up. Even after the kit had trouble, went looking and replaced the impulse good as new! Did a filter change but would like to replace the fuel line. You would'nt happen to have a part number? it helps my Stihl dealer as they are morons!

I am going to side with you! try that impulse line that was the problem with my saw and it looks like it just came outa the box when I bought it!

 

[Lakeside53]

It's the same fuel hose as used in the 031/32, and all 041.

1113 358 7700.

Not sure what a 138 is, but if it's an HS138, then yes, you can use the kit. There are two forms of the kit; one where the metering arm hooks onto the metering diaphragm, and one where it sits on top. BOTH work, but make sure you do hook the diaphragm with that type.

I've replaced the lines on my 041 3 or 4 times over the years and never put a kit in the carb. I ended up using longer studs on the carb block and have done the carb gaskets many times. The longer studs and red locktite is the only way the keep the carb tight.

Thanks for the part#!
I should have been more specific with the carb #

 

[FarmBossFanatic]

Well, I purchased a new filter, fuel line, and impulse line and still no go. Bought a carb kit on ebay and will try that. If that doesn't work any other suggestions? Dynamite?

 

[Griffbm3]

Don't give up...

Yes a bit dated, but great saw, real workhorse. I believe mine actually has more JB weld on it than Magnesium at this point, but it still runs like a bear. By the way, the impulse line was bad on mine too, but good luck with the carb kit...

From the looks of your fuel line I think you will find some trash in your carb.
Clean it out good when installing the kit and make sure you put in the diaphrams the same order as original. I use wd40,tag wire or gutair string wire, and light air pressure in fuel passage ways to make sure thir open.

I cant take the vibration very long if the o41 doesn,t have av. Av I can run a long time with no problem and I like it.

Yup, that thing is a great saw, but a shaker.... notorious for intake stack leaks. Make sure its tight... you're on the right track with the carb kit.
