Used Stihl parts - any source???

[davefr]

Are there any Stihl or general chainsaw "junkyards" out there.

I picked up a used 044 that I'd like to bring up to good condition but it could really use a better handle and a cylinder. (the handle tip is split and the cylinder has a broken off cooling fin and some light scoring). The saw runs strong in spite of this though. Those two parts alone are way more than what the market value of the saw would be if purchased new.

If saws get parted out, is EBAY the main source or are there others??

Run it until it dies before you replace the cylinder. And if you change the jug that means you need a new piston and rings. I have seen Stihl and Husvqarna pistons and cylinders on Ebay on occasion but plan on scanning for a while before finding one. It is harder than you think to find a good bargain on these things. Cripes, I have seen seized up saws go for almost $100.

I Have aprox. 75 to 100 stihls in our boneyard. All for parts none worth fixing. But many parts. What handle you looking for ? Im not sure I have any 044s, but many parts are interchangeable.& as far as getting a used cyl. & piston. I dont think that is a good idea. Thats just my oppinion.

Actually it's the assembly where the back of the handle curves around and becomes the base of the saw. (the apex of this curve is cracked). I believe the fuel tank is also part of this molded assembly. If you have one of these in your bone yard let me know. (it might be common with 046 also)

I'm sure I could make a reliable handle repair with fiberglass or epoxy, but than I'd still need a cylinder and piston assembly to get it completely restored. $225 is a bit stiff for the cylinder kit.

I might just put the saw on EBAY and represent it accordingly.

I've bought some good used saws at hock shops and garage sales, but this one is at best a break even saw.

DOUBLETODD... .the thread is nearly 7 years old...


There are two main sellers of used parts.

Curts saw parts
Cheap Stihl saw parts


Both on Ebay... Go to ebay and do a search on 038 carb.

We'll let you slide this time...just don't let it happen again j/k .

we complain when people dont use the search function, and we complain when they do...

 

[Ray Bennett]

+ 1 for searching

 

[maccall]

You have to realize that searching probably was what got him into trouble at this site in the first place, might make him somewhat reluctant to try it again on another site. They might not be as forgiving...

 

[traktorist2222]

CHEAPSTIHLPARTS at ebay is a good seller.

 

[blsnelling]

As said above, either Bryce Scott, cheapstihlparts, or Curt Bailer, cbaileybg. I've dealt with both and they will both treat you right. Matter of fact, I bought my 361 from Curt.

038 carb

my local shop says my carb on the 038 has a piece of the idle needle seat in the carb and can't get it out. does this sound feasible or hokey, my saw won't idle

[Lakeside53]

If they are saying the inlet needle seat is worn, then yes... possible.

I Have aprox. 75 to 100 stihls in our boneyard. All for parts none worth fixing. But many parts. What handle you looking for ? Im not sure I have any 044s, but many parts are interchangeable.& as far as getting a used cyl. & piston. I dont think that is a good idea. Thats just my oppinion.

Would anyone know where or have a used rear handle w/fuel tank for a Stihl ?
