The serial number should be located just under the right muffler port, on a flat milled spot on the top of the case casting, right next to the bar cover (when the bar cover is attached) Should have about a dozen numbers, the first digit indicating country of mfg. 1 is Germany, 2 is USA.

It will be stamped into the crankcase somewhere. on the front just below the muffler? Or above the sprocket. It should be easy to spot now that its clean.
Most of the other fellows have answered your questions except for the shutting off problem unless I missed that reply. The shutting off is controlled by the master switch in which the grounding wire, usually a black wire with a bare round brass looking end pushes into a hole in the switch and it makes contact with the metal spring tab sticking up below the airfilter, make sure that the bare end contacts the metal strip as that is usually the culprit . The air filter has to be in place for the switch to function properly. Oh, a nice looking saw after its bath , congrats!!

I fired it up earlier on, sounded ok, i didn't rev it much as it doesnt have all the bits and didn't want anything happening to the clutch. When i went to turn it off... hey presto, it turned off, which i am more than pleasd with, but when i have it up and running i will try it half a dozen times and give you a verdict. I did think it was a bad earth or something like that, so you have confirmed my thoughts.

I really agree with Harry. There's not much difference power-wise between the 026 and the 024 Super. But there is quite a bit of difference in the vibration levels on the two, with the decided advantage going to the 024. Keep it. I have an 026 that I'd gladly trade for that Super if you were closer.

The sticker says "Made In West Germany", so that's a clue as to how old it is. It really cleaned up well, BTW. Nice job!

that's interesting, why did stihl down-grade the vibe levels? 024AVS is very smoothe I admit though...
It isn't a super though... lol.
What would a muffler mod do for a normal 024AV?
Anyone help me out with the serial number?
Cheers.

Uuuuh....sorry. :hmm3grin2orange: Guess I was mixing this up with another thread in which the poster picked up an 024 that turned out to be a Super instead. My statement still holds true, but it just doesn't apply here. LOL!

If I'm thinking right I thought I seen in the shop manual that if it was made in W. Germany than it was a pre 1987 after that it was built in Viginia Beach
Cheers!
Would Picco go ok on this saw then? I should imagine it would be quicker than the .325?

I dont think picco is available in full chisel so i wouldnt think it would be quicker.
Have a look at the size of the cutters on picco.... You dont get many sharpenings before they are worn out!
