i would just strip the whole saw down first. and then tell us whats stuffed and needs replacing.
plenty of AM stuff going around to rebuild it.
I have bought from this mob before.

Guys had larger dawgs/spikes lying around slapped em on my 038 and they don't line up! Any ideas? View attachment 437951

Mate I put an OEM stihl outer spike on my 381 the part number is 0000 660 0850
not sure if it is a direct fit onto the 038 side cover but might be a start.cheers.

Got another 031AV here with good bearing so will take the top off and hopefully just set of rings, make one good saw out of 2

I think the eBay seller I got them off assumed all spikes were the same bet their for a 660 will check it out when I get home

measure the piston too.. just for interest sake and wear too! there are lots of different sizes it seems for them AM.

had a kart engine do that to me about 2 years ago....5 mins into running in a new top end

 

[peter92]

Ok, Just took the top off and heres the findings, im hoping to only need new rings, what your thoughts

That's the same problem I have with my 029 super. The way to fix it is to grind back the long ones but I couldn't be stuffed as I don't need em to line up perfectly to do a nice cut.

Well the 029 turned 11 years old this week and today we put her through some big stringy bark running a 20" bar and 3/8....think I should give her a tune as she's bogging down a bit in the cut and I suspect running rich as but no smoke..original spark plug still.

Your 031 appears to be the later version?....Did the saw have spark before you pulled it down?

Yes but had trouble with the coil lead, was going to replace it, i havent tried starting it for about 3 yrs

it had a piece of stiff wire in the end of it to the spark plug, a real pain in the butt until it zapped me, when i first got it

how can you tell its a later version

how can you tell its a later version

My brain cell thinks it can see a later model coil....Is it an 031 AV Electronic ?
