Watch Joe Dunnrite update his 38 year old Stihl 038 AV chainsaw. You want it done right watch Joe!

You want it done right watch Joe Dunnrite. In this 2 part series, Joe converts his 38 year old Stihl 038 AV chain saq from the old style sprocket drive to the new rim sprocket. Joe runs into trouble but don't fret, stay tuned for part 2. If you want to convert your older saw with the old style sprocket, you will need Stihl Part Number 1119 007 1003 drum kit and also need a clutch drum bearing part number 9512 933 3150 (you can use the old 2 bearing set if you want) and an oil pump drive gear part number 1119 642 1501. Joe says if you want it done right, he recommends using Stihl parts (he does not get anything from Stihl to say this!) however you can buy aftermarket parts that will do the job at a lesser price. When installing the oil pump gear, make sure the drive gear mesh is smooth, Joe says you can loosen the three bolts that hold the oil pump to the housing to adjust the clearance between the gears so it is smooth! Watch Part 2 as Joe makes a minor modification to the cover plate to allow proper clearance for the oil pump drive gear; an easy simple fix. You want it DONE RIGHT! Watch Joe Dunnrite!

I have an 038 magnum 2 I got from my uncle when he passed,not sure what year it is but I know it’s before 1989 because it says made in west Germany on it,it’s wicked. Greetings from British Columbia

Finding that kit is rare, been out of production for many years. When new that kit was rare & pricey. The 028 had that same set-up. The early 038 was 61cc, the super 67cc & the mag 2 72cc. Those were introduced around 1980.

I have an 038 mag2 i rebuilt from the ground up.i just checked and it has the removable sprocket i can change quick.my serial# starts with #3 being it was made in brazil with the factory triple port exhaust,i added the full wrap handle which is like finding a needle in a hay stack.

Are you sure your saw isnt just an 038av (61cc) or a super at (66cc)?
