Red saw lover
The spike was upside down from the start it seems, at least it was in the pic in post two. I never removed it. Good thing I have you dog catchers on patrol
Thanks. I was wondering if it would do much on a stock saw. With the relative inexperience of the user a flocked filter may be a better idea. I may order one for the 034. Is it strange that I want to do that saw just for the 18" "made in Sweden" Stihl bar I recently aquired?Metal filters can let fines through for sure, so one has to think a bit. Dry dusty cutting means swapping in a flocked filter.
If your saw is stock, you can try a metal filter, but I bet it makes little difference over a flocked.
I’ll looks for a PN.

Just trying to do my part lol.The spike was upside down from the start it seems, at least it was in the pic in post two. I never removed it. Good thing I have you dog catchers on patrol
I will be under $125 on this one, and the 034 will be starting from $0 unless someone convinces me to sell it before I get to it. I should be able to get it going for about $80 I think. The free and cheap ones are the most satisfying to finish. But then I think "I can sell that for $X and start over on a new one", so the door keeps revolving. 15 months ago I had sold every saw I owned. I'm back up to five runners and 10 parts units/projects as of today.Great project. I am building a 55 Husky for my uncle in similar fashion. I will have about $80 into the saw/B+C when all is done and almost enough parts to build a second 55 for zero so the average price for two builds will be about $50 each.

That's a good question. The 036 was missing the clutch assembly and oiler, so I used the parts from the 034. It was much smaller than the piston pin bearing. I do remember thinking that it is kind of dinky. Does that answer your question?Last 036 I did (freebee) cost me ~ $220 with all OEM ( OEM piston kit, seals rubber). But I put a new 20" ES bar , RS Chain and the clutch upgrade in ( ~$100).
What clutch drum did this one have? Little or big bearing?
Very Common issue.So I finally got to fire this up over the weekend. Starts and idles great, but I can't get it enough fuel on the high end. It just revs to the moon. I'm in the middle of moving and a LOT of other projects right now so I ordered a kit for the other Zama from the 034. I'll try rebuilding that and get back to this one later.
I rebuilt the carb with a jen-you-wine Zama kit. The fuel line is new. New crank seals. Case holds pressure and vac. It idles very well very near the initial 1 turn out so I don't feel like it's an air leak. I will report back after I try the other one.Very Common issue.
Did you rebuild carb and do new fuel line?
Any place that can suck air or have reduced fuel flow can do it, including the fuel line at the carb elbow.
I want to bring this back up @drf255 because the grommet molded into the line did seem like an extremely tight fit going into the tank. Has anyone had an 036 tank that the 1127 line didn't work without modification?Nice. The fuel line hole on the 034 tank may need to be enlarged slightly for the 1127 line. The 036 should be ok...
034s, yes... I can’t say for sure on 036s (on work on a lot of basket case 1125s).I want to bring this back up @drf255 because the grommet molded into the line did seem like an extremely tight fit going into the tank. Has anyone had an 036 tank that the 1127 line didn't work without modification?
