Thanks for the insight. Oddly, was at a pawn shop buying a torch valve set and some other odds and ends tool wise and a guy came to pawn it. Oil patch guy who was loosing his job. Pawn shop offered $350. I upped it to $425. Never know with this things but so far it appears to be a nice find...

Hello folks. Just scored a 362c for $425. Has a 20" ES bar on it and it's probably in 85-90% of new condition. Compression was solid so I went for it. Couple of questions. 1. The Palm grip safety has a loud click and is rather stiff to depress when compared to my 028.035, and 038. I've read...

Hello Folks, Been a while since I've posted. Guess the saws have been running good. Here's what I need help with. Uncle gave me his 034AV with a .063 x 375 - 16" bar/chain combo. I already own a 028AV (.063 x .325 - 18"), Dolmar 5100 (.050 x .325 - 18"), & 038 (24") mag built by...

Gents, My Dolmar 5100 has a scored piston. Pulled the muffler and there it was. Don't know if the jug is good or not. Rings appear to be intact. Anyway, I need to know if anyone of you know of a good shop in DFW to fix her up for me? The shop I bought it at is full service but...

Well I tried Brad's way and after 3 pulls I had it flooded again. I am amazed how fast this happens. It is not operator error as some have suggested. The switch has been in the right spot each time I have tried. I know it is possible to make mistakes but I did not in this case. I...

I got the idea of the clogged vent from another person on here that I PM'd. I did not re-choke it since it was 90 degrees here. I did not hit the trigger as it is not necessary with this saw usually. I was amazed how much fuel and how quickly it came out the muffler. I will try to...

Let me start by saying thanks in advance. My Dolmar 5100 quit and I am struggling to diagnose. I have been told a tank vent issue and am going to take it to the dealer but they are not close and lack what I would call quality service. So, I thought I would start here. I pulled it out...

All, Oil pump quit on my 038 Mag. Ordered my replacement from Baileys. Go to install and find that there is something stuck into the top port of the oil openings. It almost looks like it was put there. The old one does not have it though. Do you think it a piece of flashing from the...

How much of an adjustment? I have a 5100 and was wondering how much richer I should run it? Are we talking about a 1/4 turn on the H adjustment or what? Thanks.

Hello there, when it rains it pours. O38mag, normal starting routine, pops, fires up, starts to run on the high idle, dies. Can't get it to start after that. Wait 20 and follow same procedure and get the same result. What could it be folks? Clogged filter? Gummed up Carb? She was...

All, Is there anyway that the saw could leak in a place that causes the oil to come out under the muffler? Saw is smoking a little but cannot figure this out. The chain appears not to be oiling well and my worry is that it has a leak. It would have to be up top somewhere since the oil...

Manual for 038 mag I sure could use a shop/service manual for a Stihl 038 Mag. I would love the help. Email is [email protected]. Should be plenty of room there. Thanks! Jason

Howdy, I have been asked to cut some burnt wood out at my buddies place. The fires that hit N.Texas hit his place. Oaks, cedars, cedar elm, random mostly. I want to know if there is a better filter on the market for the 038 Mag. I don't want to ruin my saw for a favor if you know what...

You'll Love the Saw I have only had mine for a month but the chips have been flying round the place. You will love the saw. I do at least.

Sweet! Thanks guys. Need a part or two and we are off to the races. Very cool!

Gap to the Flywheel Magnet More info, good. How would I set that gap and what should the gap be?

Timing Is there any sort of timing when I go to do this? Sounds like this will be right up my alley. Thanks guys.

The local shop wanted $198 to replace the coil on my 028WB. Looks like you can buy one used at 10 bucks and new at 35 (aftermarket). Are this things hard to change? It appears to be a simple harness and a bolt. Maybe I am missing something. It also apprears there is an older points style...

Dolmar I agree that the Dolmar is the way to go. I just bought a 5100 and it is a heck of a saw. I got it in Azle and they could have the 6400 or 7900 out to you from the distributor in Dallas in a day. I have the guys number and such. Shoot me a note if you want it. I live over in Argyle...

My old 028 WB is sick and the shop was talking about too much $ to fix the old boy. Maybe later, I don't know. Love that saw but the occasion offered the chance and I just finished cutting with my brand spanking new 5100S. I asked the shop about them running too lean at the factory set up...
