038 AVS farm boss question

[S.vincent]

I recently purchased a 038avs. What does the "S" mean?

The S should mean it's a super model. It has slightly larger displacement.

Thank you! Saw is made in Germany. I was told it was higher quality. Is that true?

It is a very good saw, you will be happy with it

I have the Magnum version of that saw, 52mm piston. Seems to have a lot of power for an older saw.

People that own these usually rave about durability. Take care of it and it will take care of you

Tail gate malfunctioned and dropped open while driving down the highway last weekend and my 038 fell out! A friend of mine found it along side the road and returned it to me. It received some road rash on the chain guard plate but fired up and ran like a champ afterr the third crank! My mm- ms250 fell out also. Never found it! Guess someone was really happy they found it!!! I'm a bit pissed right now! A least I still have the 038!

Uhhhh, you can put saws in the bed?

I never knew that. I always figured they needed a pampered spot on the bench seat.

I sold a 361 to a guy who showed up with his 12 year old son and one of his son's friends. Son was in the front seat when they pulled in. When he left with the saw he made them both get in the back so the saw could sit shotgun.


Bummer about losing the 250, though. Time for a 261...

Lol! Yes, my saws usually do in fact ride in the cab with me!! Lol !!!!

Sometimes I put a parts saw in the bed but I have a cover over the bed and some ties to hold it in place plus of course the tailgate..The good saws go in the cab behind the seat. Ext.cab..

Mine has had a magnum conversion, according to the previous owner. I was looking it over a couple of nights ago and noticed it has a BING carburetor. Seems that I read somewhere that the specials had the BING carb while the magnums may have had a Tillosten carb. I was wondering if the Venturi bore size was different between the two? May be I still have some power left on the table? I took the muffler apart and seen that someone had drilled holes in the internal baffle but no mods were done to the out muffler shell. I drilled a 1/4 hole in it and cut the lovers out. Haven't tried it out since.

Mine had a Tillotson which I replaced with an ebay imitation of a Walbro or a Zama, not sure. The Tillotson had the plastic piece on it that held the inlet lever and the pin for it was loose and rather than trying to find that piece I just replaced the carb and it seems to have been the right move as the saw starts and runs much better.

My 038 magnum II has a Zama carburetor
