I really like the 038av I have that was my Grandfathers. It has the metal fuel tank and is built like Rich Piana. I would really like the bigger Magnum version one day also. The 038 and super and magnum are like the dolmar 6400 7300 and 7900 I think. You got a good saw platform for what you could afford back then.So I've decided I need to find a good Stihl 038 Magnum to compliment my 056 magnum. That way I have my classic 3 saw plan and my newer 3 saw plan
I think your right, but it was called a "solid state ignition" so I don't know if it's the same thing.Did the Poulan 4200/5200 use something like that, mine has a trigger and a coil.

I've got one of those mower, was the 70 something now it the 80 something. Took the 9hp Kawasaki pull start off and install the 12.5 Kawasaki. Rebuilt the wiring harness and installed a relay into the starting circuit for better starting. Good little rer.Hey yall--I am still here-Just going through some stuff-not much saw work.

Here I go with a silly question for the day.... This is the pickup unit / ignitor off my Pioneer 3071. It's very dead. I can't find one anywhere and just wondered if anyone has had any luck replacing these with a more modern unit. The flywheel is a wico-prestolite and I believe was used in some Homelite saws. But I've not seen this unit fitted to anything before. The Pioneer 3071 ws their first electronic-ignition saw and this may have been made by Wico for pioneer alone. The unit has 2 coils in it. the larger one charges the condenser, and the small one triggers a transistor inside the unit to fire the output coil mounted under the small cover above the exhaust on the other side of the saw.

I have been thinking of using a honda / stihl / homelite part and making some sort of bracket-up to adapt it to the 3071.
Any ideas?

I will probably end up getting oem bolts for it. Pretty well the entire carb is aftermarket. Only some parts are oem replacements. Do any of you think a carb kit would possibly solve my problems, or is it deeper than that?I would just replace them with OEM bolts, is the carb aftermarket or OEM, there could be issues with the carb internally that you will never see.
