Check that the choke inside the air filter is working properly, and the linkage is correctly hooked up.
Alright thanks.

I have a 038 mag I got for the low, low price of free! I cleaned the saw up and put a new ground wire on it and it fired up after a few starts, but started none the less. Well long story short I had occasion to use it recently and I got it to fire in my garage before heading to the project, but when I got there it wouldn't. I looked it over after I got back( my brother-in-law had a husky 450 on-hand) and I noticed the breather tube (I think that's what its called) didn't have any fuel in it, so I thought that perhaps it wasn't sending any fuel to the carb. I poured some fuel down the carb and it fired almost right away and died once it burned up the fuel, I even tried to throttle it and it just bogged down. So my question is where should I start troubleshooting this thing:msp_confused:. Right now I feel like I'm just working out trying to start it, hey maybe there is a money making opportunity there

Pull the carb and the cover for the carb diaphragm (bottom of carb, flat nose screwdriver). Chances are the little breather hole in the cover let in saw dust in, when enough sawdust gets in, the carb stops pumping fuel. I've seen it at least 5 times. Clean out the sawdust and put the cover on, then put the carb back on.
Moral of the story, clean your air filter and intake housing out regularly.
I just purchased a Factory rebuilt 038 magnum II powerhead for my son. He uses a ms 290 with ripping bar and chain on his chainsaw mill.
We make log furniture and cut large diameter trees for table tops. These tops are cross cut not ripped. What is the largest bar and chain we can put on the 038 mag II ? Thanks in advance for all your help.
I want one...

We are only milling cedar and the 290 works great on the 10 ft. cedar. Can I use the original 20 inch bar from the 290 on my 038 . Thank you to everyone for the replys. I have posted pictures on my profile of some of the things we make
Does an 038 mag.2 have duel ign pack 4.4 hp duel port exhaust. Again I thank all of you for your help.
