Cool thread thanks for all the pics. I'll bet it becomes hard to find a 036 parts saws. :hmm3grin2orange: I find myself looking also. :chainsawguy:
i may be on to something regarding the no-load speed limit.
i found that the carb linkage was bent out of whack just enough that the carb butterfly would not open 100% with the trigger fully squeezed. it was @ approx. 85-90%.
a quick re-bend and the butterfly now opens (and still closes) perfectly.
i lost my tach so i cannot verify higher rpms but seat-o-the-pants tells me the saw is turning higher no-load rpms.
the h screw still has somewhat limited effect but i can get the saw to both smooth out (lean) or four stroke as i adjust it.
a 30" white oak will be the test log tomorrow morning.
Nice Volks, hope that is the fix. If not would a carb off a 440 help you any? I have one here somewhere.

If it can't help Volks, it can help me. Send me a list of stuff you need in trade if you're interested.
Wait, lets verify that you're talking Stihl 440.... Echo 440 and Mac 440 won't help me much.
thats an awsome build thanks for sharing:rockn::rockn:, could you have used the 10mm 044 piston instead
yes i could have.
but the 10mm 044 piston is 50mm and would be used with a 50mm 038 super cylinder.
i wanted to go as big as i could with the p/c so i used the 038 magnum piston and cylinder @ 52mm.
thats 72cc of fun.
In your opinion, in the cut how does it compare to a 038 Mag? Stoughter than a 036 but lighter than a 038?
well its tough to say.
the 038 feels stronger.
but i did a comparison of the two saws and they are within a second of each other in the same wood with the same b/c. when cutting a 14" hardwood square cant, i'd figure that is within the margin of error.
the 037 is certainly lighter. but in your hands the 038 feels like it is machined out of a solid block.
