Stihl 038

[shank 28]

Hello , I just picked up a 038 AV i can get running with squirt of gas in carb and then install air filter without choke while idling. So i figured out need to install OEM Cam lever switch & OEM air filter with choke device in filter. Also i can not shut if off, Black wire on handle switch makes contact with metal ground tang on body. What is supposed to ground out to kill engine? Copy of service & parts manual would be great also... I am new to site also thanks in advance for help

That kill wire goes right under the closest top cover screw. They seem to break off right at the eye. Check your impulse hose they mimic carb issues and are a little fun to replace.
