I pulled out a saw my uncle (now deceased) said I had to have. He sold it to a customer and then got it back years later. He sold it the year I was born. I worked for him for a couple of years while I was in college( 1989-1991). During that time we scavenged the bone pile to get it running. It...

Sorry, it has been a while since I posted an update. I got a Stihl OEM filter and an Oregon filter to try. I still have an issue with cold start. But the Stihl filter is definitely better. the choke closes now. Also changed the control rod. This saw runs great, but still have an issue...

thank you sir, much appreciated.

Stihl 030/031/032 IPL. Need a few parts numbers if you have the IPL. thanks in advance

Sorry it took me a while to post an update. I had difficulty finding an OEM filter with port. Found quite a few with no port, but wasn’t sure if I should run the saw that way. i did find a filter and waiting for it to arrive. I think i will buy the non port style and look fir the old style...

@rocketnorton Let me see what i can find first, i will get back to you if i can find the choke and springs or if i find s filter. I didn’t have time today as i am still working.

Sometimes an oven of biscuits and a cobbler help the day go better, too bad this is not this morning

The pipeline hot tappers have all the fun

I will take better picture of the AM air filter. The hook faces the wrong way on it so the cam cannot close it correctly. Another thing I witnessed last might is the filter body will collapse when you tighten the nuts to carb. No standoffs in the filter body to keep this from happening. the...

Duane thank you, I can’t express the appreciation i have for you taking your time on my behalf. with that said, i will be getting an OEM filter and changing out the control rod. Your pictures are a huge help. more to come.

i appreciate all your help. I had a great time building this saw. It had been a long time since i had a box of saw parts. i will keep this going until we get this thing figured out.

@Duane(Pa) Ok that confirms my thoughts. I need to change the filter and control rod. can you pop that filter off and take a picture of the hook direction on the choke lever?

Three pictures. One with cam under choke lever, one with cam just on choke lever. snd the third is a comparison of the AM 038 filter (low quality for sure) and an original OEM 028 filter. The hook on the 038 choke shutter is opposite to the 028. Is that incorrect?

@rocketnorton No filter OE filter on the way yet, was going to cruise the old saw parts suppliers and eBay. If you have an extra one i would work with you on it. i have oe control rods, I have a few 028 and spare parts. I worked for my uncle who was a Stihl dealer up till early 1990’s. My 028...

First post other than for workshop manuals or ipl. i read lots of threads and searched like crazy to see if the below has been covered. I have not found it, yet. I built an 038 clone kit from Huztl. Build went well, only minor issues with build, a few missing parts a few poor quality parts...

and one odd ball workshop manual request. Did they release a workshop manual and IPL for the 030av? I have the 031/032 manual but with this being a short run limited years build saw I wondered if they released manuals for it specifically.

Looking for o38 super, 038 mag, o38 magII workshop manual(s). I have the 028-038 manual but it is missing some items for the other saws. Thanks in advance.
