Want to Buy STIHL 034 parts

[briguy26]

Looking for a STIHL 034 cylinder in great shape, no scoring or scuffing I'm fine with used. Or 036 cylinder? Only if it's a direct bolt on which I think it is. Thanks fellas
This is my buddy's second saw he's managed to blow up

Close to a direct bolt on. Clearance issues with top cover and spacer needed for muffler if I remember correctly. All fairly easy fixes.

Where can I find the muffler spacer or do I have to modify it?

I'm not sure if Stihl offers an OEM spacer. Do a quick search here. I can't really remember, but I know people have made their own. If not, I'm sure there is somebody here who knows better than I.

Go on ebay and do a search for 034 muffler. There is a couple of spacers for sale on there.

Not all conversions require them. I have a few made by a member. Let me know if you need one.

I'd go 036 cylinder with Meteor piston. Dave had Meteors for $34... there are some on ebay for $38ish.


Did he blow up the same saw twice?

He blew up a ms251, so I built him the bigger 034, and he blew that one up to. I vacuum/pressure tested and no leaks on it. The rings were seated just fine. I think he screwed up the oil/gas mix ratio. It wasn't running lean so I don't know what the Hell he did. I like the meteor pistons the cylinder wasn't salvageable.

I have two OEM/NOS 034 46mm cylinders, no pistons. Will part with one for $70 + shipping.

Thanks Mad for the offer, but I think I'll convert it into an 036 48mm. Fingers crossed he won't burn it up again...

I'd probably do the same. I got the 034 jugs on a ebay sale that claimed they were 036, didn't inspect them well until too late. I keep a good used OEM jug and NOS/OEM piston on hand for my 036 saws. Love those saws for firewood sized stuff.

Most 034 jugs run well. The problem is no meteor am piston for em.
