I like 'em green
Kind of an older thread, but here's mine I just picked up last week. Muffler is missing the spark screen, anyone know if this is the correct muffler for this saw, there seem to be so many different versions.
Any of you guys want our Farmboss? My 15yo son bought it thinking he could get
her fired up. Beyond his pay grade it seems...payed 90$ for it. Show him a small return and this project
of his will be retired. I saw this thread of 041 enthusiasts + specialists and figured I'd ask.
Cheers.
Carbs are almost impossible to find for these saws. Once the carb is gone, the saw is gone. Carb rebuild kits seldom work. Stihl dealers usually give them back to the owners labeled as "junk" if they cannot fix them. BTDT.
Nice to see a few that still run as shown on this thread --18 pounds and 3 horsepower or so. Classics in their own right and I doubt I will ever call them a clunker the same way that Obama labeled my car.
I have tons of parts for 041s
So do I. What I do not know is whether it's the carb gaskets that are leaking or the carb is defective. It will start to run with a fuel goose, but it will not stay running. Either air is leaking in somewhere or the carb just will not pump anymore. The Stihl dealer's mechanic gave up after he rebuilt the carb with a kit. The carb rebuild kits are available but the carbs are not.I need to remember this. I have two 41s ill get to someday.
Make sure that it runs. Watch him start it before you pay his price. I bought the one that I have that does not run for $30. The owner gave me the 20" bar and a chain.Here's a picture of the 041 AV that I found on CL for $125. Good deal? I'm going to look at it tomorrow.
