  • A friend of mine donated his old Stihl 038 Magnum 2 chainsaw powerhead to the channel to help with logging operations and milling at the cabin. Around 20 years ago, a rogue piece of firewood broke the rear handle resulting in the chainsaw being placed in a dormant state. It hasn't been fed oil or gasoline since George W. Bush Jr. was in office. Come see what I did to breathe life back into this amazing saw.

    That is a very nice saw. (All most new)
    I used one like it for years (in my line up) cutting firewood.
    Small tip. During reassembly I would not use a power tool.
    It is very easy to cross-thread and strip the holes in the body of your chainsaw.

    I made a complete rebuild this summer of an 038 super from 1990.
    Complete tear down, new bearings, shaft sealing rings, dampers, sealings, carburetor kit and all other rubber stuff. Now it's like new and In a few weeks it will see the wood first time after the rebuild. I'm so excited.
    Good job and enjoy your saw

      I have the same saw. Dad bought new in 1991. Just put a new filter and spark plug - runs just like new. Here in Canada there is a acid based cleaner that Stihl makes. Works outstandingly. Quite strong actually, melts all the dirt but does not affect the paint or plastic. Wear gloves it will burn. how is the saw anyway?

      Thanks Wesley! A guy bought the bar and chain to send to his family in Mexico since it's hard to find parts there (Husqvarna saturated) but they decided on 20" bars instead.

    I just grabbed a 038 mag II at a yard sale. Had sat under an old guys bench for years. Some fresh fuel and she fired right up. Next is to clean her up good, maybe a little bit porting and a 30 inch bar. Initial cost at garage sale, $20. Im happy. Lol

    Bought a STIHL 034 AV ($465.00) back in 1987 when clearing my property. Still use it to this day, although now-a-days, it may go a year between starts... it only takes 2-3 pulls to fire up.

      Just bought my first Stihl, a hardly used but dirty and stale 034 AV. So excited to do a breakdown and 1st ever carb service, so thanks for the great video for reference! Nice camera work and that air power cleaning looks scary for my delicate eyes. Also, I didn’t stay for the music, but can’t please anyone with music, I’m sure! Have subscribed, keep having fun!

    Thing should go for a while, mine lasted close to 900 quard before the motor locked up solid. These and the older husky 61 are the best saws out there to run on a 18 to a 24 inch bar for milling. Go to 24 inch i recomend a skip tooth chain tho.

    @Stonewolfdark 2 года назад

    My experience and my fathers both logging our whole life, Stihl has the power and performance but the reliability lacks compared to Huskys in cold weather. Even the colder weather kits don't seem to help... my experience that is. Still lovely saw!

    • @innerbarkoutdoors
      @innerbarkoutdoors  2 года назад +1

      I work up in a logging town and the old timers seem to love the husky saws for their vibration dampening. I like the Stihls because they are more straightforward for repairs in my opinion. I haven't used the Stihl in lower than 20f so I'll leave that to you folks

    Has you pulled that chain yet? How's it cut? I just rebuilt a 038 super swapped the top end to a mag top end ported pulling a 25 inch bar with rsf chain and a 8 pin sprocket and so far have sunk the whole bar into red oak and had no issues, cutting 8 inch pine takes 3 seconds on the timer. It pulls hard to say the least

    • @innerbarkoutdoors
      @innerbarkoutdoors  3 года назад +1

      I haven't cut anything with it yet. I'll be getting into firewood production once it cools down a little bit. The engine has a ton of compression. Sometimes feel like I'm going to break the cord
