Saw video thread

Your daughter was all smiles in that selfie at the end LOL.

Saws sound awesome. Im sure video do them no justice! Someday I'd like to add a 90 cc class saw to the herd.

How about a 99cc saw? I'm thinking about getting rid of my hooskie 298. Especially if I land this 395 I have been working a deal on.

It was a bit fat. This one is my personal best. That was at 13,900. They run better fat in the real world and it's safer. That goes for all worksaws in my opinion.

I'm still wondering how they can suck all that air through that little air injection do hickey. I wonder if frogskins will help on the AF cover.

The 262 won't rev like an 036 will. I'm still wondering why. Port geometry is superior to the 036.

Hey, at least they are orange.

Al I think the air injection turbo tube would end up not able to put positive pressure into the air filter box on the 262 if you add frogskin. I.e. If you add frogskin rev the saw and put your hand by the skins and see if you feel air being blown out through skins or if the carb is taking it all. I think closed off the fins on flywheel via tube will supply more than enough so carb can take all it want or if positive pressure happens it acks like super charger that just pushes air in. Hope I'm making sense.

I like how his 036s run!

Did you try those K&N filters yet?

No but one is in the mail
It will go on the 044.

Don't know what kind of wood was in that 1st vid, but the bark looks a lot like our Shag Hickory!

Nice job on the saws. How does the weight of the 038 compare to the 044?

We arnt as fancy on tree names in Australia. It's bark is all stringy so it's called stringy bark.
I was excited to do a bit of a side by side as the timber down here makes all our hard work look ordinary.

I just wish I had of run the test in a bigger bit of wood.

The difference was more noticeable between the 038's with the bar burried.
Stock dropped rpm and would bog if lent on too much, ported just powered through.

The 038's are plastic tank models so weight difference is not noticeable while your working them.
They do earn that bit of extra weight with being built better though. I recon the 038 would outlast the 044 every time

And your daughter is beautiful. She looks happy hanging with Dad!

Yeah she loves coming along and spending some time with me. Such a good kid that one

044 clutch left, 038 clutch right

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow.

 

[jmssaws]

Ain't the 038 got a even worse filter than the HD setup?

 

[X 66 stang347 X]

Do you prefer the super or mag

 

[Brewz]

Yep
It's similar to a 260 filter with the choke flap in the filter
Crappy for performance

I don't own an 038. Both these are mags and belong to friends

 

[X 66 stang347 X]

Ok. Isn't the mag 2mm larger piston and super is longer stroke crank? Then theres the mag 2

 

[jmssaws]

So with the crappy filter they probably won't outlast the 044? Even though the HD isn't great by any means.

The extra width of that 038 clutch is impressive, but do not underestimate the effectiveness of the 044's additional diameter. That will make a bigger difference than you think.

Note: the 046/460 uses the same clutch as the 044/440. My 044#1, bought new in 1992, still has the original clutch, and it was my only saw for 18 years.

 

[jmssaws]

I used a 034 clutch and drum on my 064 hybrid forever and never had any problems.
The only stihl I know that has clutch trouble is a 660,it's very rare that I port one that doesn't need a clutch.

 

[MustangMike]

My 034 had that "star" drive set up, and the bearing is smaller than 044 & 046, so I upgraded it. It will soon be an 036.

I always change them to the big spline drum.
I have a nice 034 super you need mike

The Stihl 038AV, super and magnums all have the same stroke. The cylinder bolt patterns on the 038AV and super are the same. The 038 magnum has a more square cylinder bolt pattern. The only real differences between the 038 models is the bore.
038 AV=48mm
038 S=50mm
038 mag and mag II =52mm
The 038 mags I believe came with slightly different mufflers. Some mags has a triple port muffler.
IIRC the magnums may also of came with a different carb. I think it was a tillotson.

Great stuff CFB, do you know the respective displacements? I know my cousin cut with an 038 for decades, and they go through about 15 cord/year.

Tell me about it! Isn't the 034 S about the same as the 036?

IIRC they are as follows
038 AV=64cc
038 S=67or68cc
038 Mags=72cc
