Redemption!!!! Ported Stihl 038 magnum is fixed!!! 

😎 Fall in the Air means.. 👕 Biscuits and Sausage Gravy 👖 For Dinner

Stihl 044 and 046 of mine have never left me hanging. I keep the air filters clean and run high octane gas 93 and above. Castrol 2 cycle oil. 30+chords a year for the past 15 years. Your saw sounds good after it warmed up. Excellent video! Glad to find your channel through BBR

That runs a lot better.I had a customer give me the same model he was fed up with it the same problem.My lucky day.All the best to you all big hugs to tinbaby.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on the sharpening.....

Had one 038 Fb , same air cleaner ,terrible set up...never thought to try improve it tho.. so hats to you on success

2:42 - 2:49. Seven seconds of family talk, annnnd back to saws. This is pure greatness. Also, a sincere congratulations to you.

Nice job Tinman, there is nothing worse than a hard starting saw!!!

I'd love it. Great job. 😎👍

Great video! I have an 038 super with a recently fitted magnum top end, 25” bar, it has so much torque and cuts anything with ease! Just needs a light bar as it’s a little on the heavy side.

72cc of raw power! Love it!!

Just love the persistence and the journey👍💪

I’ve been watching all your videos on this 038 saw as I have just found one in new condition in Australia. But I expect that because it’s an old girl that I’ll need to know some of the findings you’ve shown us here so thanks for the info! They’re a classic saw for sure and you definitely make some valid points about their downfalls with the air filters. I’ve just bought it as a collectors item rather than a work saw really. I’ve got an 076 super av in new condition a makita/dolmar 7900 and now the 038 av magnum. :)

Ya the Stihl filters are available. I just picked one up (038AVS) You have to order the filter parts individually and then assemble it. You have to know if you have a compensating carb when you order the filter.

She's a beast and I love it . Great job Tinman

It's looking and sounding very promising👍🏻 I was about ready to eat my own words about the muffler, until it got good and warm!

Great to see the 038 running good!

Hey Tinman , nice to see her rippin, what a hard way with this choke System. Early 26s had the same System and issues. Congrats to your Family for having a Baby . Best wishes from Germany!

Those switch shafts wear out over time and will not fully actuate the choke shaft. A new shaft will most likely take care of your issue.

I had one of these saws in a commercial environment for about 5 years. The way that carb is mounted is a stock config. No washers were used there.

Hey ol'kid I really enjoy your vid's keep up the good work!!! I have learned a ton of stuff my friend thank you for your time you is AWSOME!!👊🏼🤠

Great to see the 038 come out on top My 381 is very reliable here in Australia on our hardwood, I think a 3foot bar is a bit ambitious tho haha. Thanks tinman great content on this build!👍

Way to run off them gremlins Tinpappa!!💪🏿❤️❤️

Great work . Nice to get it sorted . I have an 038 av Super and have learnt a lot . Thank you ! Keep the updates coming . Best wishes 👍

Looks to be running much more better good!

I ended up adding the metal filter piece to the carb on mine to make the choke work properly. Wasn’t out far enough and would just bind up and not work unless you manually closed it

That’s a noice saw there buddy!! Thanks for giving the numbers out I was thinking around the same for one of my builds.. but I will be building a ms380 clone first to see how it goes. I do have oem top end, crank, fuel tank and handle bar for an insane race saw but I don’t really know how far I can go before they will fall on their face. Just cookie cutter racing. Have a good day buddy

I add an o ring to the center air filter screw, carb side to add better seal for fine sawdust.

Those filters used to cause us so much grief in the shop I worked in. That choke plunger is just a bad idea.

Good work Tinman !

Cool ol saws hope u figure it out soon!!

Great video... none of my stihls have ran good . thats why i run huskys now :)

Sweet saw tinman!!🤙👍

The mating surface between the carb and air filter is known to leak. Not good for ingesting fines or choke operation. I’ve heard a thin coat of grease helps a lot, never tried it myself though.

That 038 looks very similar to the 048 (76cc) 1980-85? on the inside. Looking to find some seals & maybe bearings as no parts available in NZ. I rebuilt the top end a few years ago so the top in like new with great torque. It idles down to almost stalling & then comes back, up & down, adjustment makes no difference.

Great stuff Tinman!

Good job 👍

Nice saw! Good work!

saw turned out great 👍

Keep up the great work

I think it likes that 24" bar and chain, my 032av likes a 24" , shes a screemer!

Hopefully a proper muffler will wake it up some more. Appreciate all your videos.

Nice!

I bought a ne038 Magnum II back around 1996 for ranch use. It was okay. But why bother with an 038, when you can run 044s?

So what was the final on this saw? Did it run well? Does your buddy like this saw?

Another HVAC guy who likes chainsaws. That’s Kool.

That switch/choke set up was a little questionable. I had an 038 & 034. They both had the same set up. It was problematic on both saws. Nice ash!

Hey Tinman I have a question I have the opportunity to buy a blown up 041 is it worth it to repair and can you find pistons and rings from wolf Creek/ meteor or highway or is it just have to find OEM or it's just parts thanks

👌🏻👌🏻👍👍👍👍🙋🏻‍♂

My 038 has no washers at all. just normal nuts.

I have an 031 av with the same style choke. I suspected it of not choking enough as well. But i can kill the saw by choking it.

Tinman can you build the P41!

Don’t talk down yourself Open muffler , too little back pressure? Could you blue the clutch drum and look for wear patterns?

Nothing is like echo controls

Tinman I’d bet a shiney new 100$ dollar bill all your saws would run better if you flipped that hat bill down where it goes! lol

Hey tinman what would cause a 372 xp to want to run at 2 and a half turns out

Hey tinman what would cause a 372 xp to want to run at 2 and a half turns out. It's just rebuilt by the way

helo is it for sale sthil chain nsaw

Here's a link to replace air filter

Those ratchet straps are doing absolutely nothing smh

crappy design for the choke, why do engineers do that? simple is best.

awesome tinman .peace an love from scotland .do u have mailing box number .i have something i wish to send u tinman .

Hey Tinman! Nice job! Can you send me yer email? I have a a Dolmar 119 Id like to talk to you about.

Love the work tinman. I’ve lost interest in stihl saws particularly for that air filter/choke design. Hate it

Great video! I have an 038 super with a recently fitted magnum top end, 25” bar, it has so much torque and cuts anything with ease! Just needs a light bar as it’s a little on the heavy side.
