Stihl 034

[rocky226]

I have a chance to pick up a complete Stihl 034. It has a scored piston so I have been told. I don't know anything about the cylinder. Is it worth fixing up? What are you guy's opinion on an 034 stihl? Someone ran straight gas no mix thru the saw.

How much money, and what shape is the rest of the saw in?

 

[rocky226]

Forty dollars for the saw. No bar or chain all plastic looks nice no breakage.

40 is a good deal.You could part it out on ebay and make money. They are good saws when running. I have one and like it. The 036 is similar but with a little bigger engine.Parts shouldnt be hard to come by. With a little muffler modification you can put an 036 jug on it.

Great deal... another $100 or so and you can have a Tecomec 036 P&C on it..

Or.. the cylinder may clean up and all you need is a piston.

I put 034 jug on 036......I know you should never go down, but 034 jug
and piston was free. Anyway I had to buy flange (spacer) from Stihl to use
036 muffler on 034 jug........so I guess 036 muffler is deeper, unless Stihl
made a change. I have come across this on 064/066 which you can uses the same flange.

$40, I would drive the 120 miles or so for clean 034 with bad PC.
You cant loose on this deal.

That's a steal. Do it. Fix it and run it. They are among the best firewood saws Stihl ever made and still hold their own against the current lineup.

I will buy it first thing in the morning. Thanks for all your input. I think it will make a nice addition to my Stihl 021,Stihl 028 and Stihl 290. Possibly going to trade a cord of wood for a Stihl 038 in the near future. I will be asking some dumb questions when I get ready to fix the 034. Please bare with me wanting to learn how to fix these old saws. Thanks.

If I can dig my way to the warehouse at work this morning I'll check and see if I have an usable 034 P+C for you.
