My FIL has a blown up 038 Super he kept telling me I could have. He said the crank was bad and the piston and cylinder was toast too. So I bought a good super crank case with P&C from ebay and of coarse the P&C was toast too but shipping it back I would just be out more money so I held on to it...When it came down to it he would not even sell it to me..I think he thinks after awhile I will just give in and fix it for him. So I had to find one on my own...
Anyway I found one of the older 038 AV metal tank on ebay and won the auction so here it is....

Now it is better then I hoped for..It fired right off with some fresh mix. Cylinder and piston look new. I think this thing sat for most of it's life...I noticed whats left of a farm boss decal on the clutch cover. Is there any significance to that???
Now I have a few questions about the clean up what can go in the dishwasher and what can't???
I do not want to strip the whole saw down to clean it but I would like to remove as mush as I can from the nooks and cranny's....
Now again how many saws before you have to admit to CAD??? This is only the third I will own up to and a forth is supposed to on it's way..
Thanks!!!!!
