    After-market P+C for 038AV

    To be honest i didn't really compare the pin lengths. Eyeballing the piston told me that i'd need to use the old pin but other than that it looked fine. I went ahead and bored the piston to fit the old pin, centered it and cut grooves to take the retaining clips. I didn't measure but i'd...

    WTD: 038 Service/Parts Manual

    $50 for a photocopy? My friendly dealer sold me a brand new one (including getting it in from Stihl for the next day) for £2.32 - less than $5. :biggrinbounce2:
