Stihl 038 Mag carb/air filter issues?

[Al Smith]

A kindly tip for what it's worth .A velocity stack or "air trumpet" needs the shape of well,a trumpet .

its not finished just yet ..........

On a side note, this one here fits rather nicely on the 1122 carbs

Taper down to 3/16" thick at the bolt holes.

I'm going to part it in the lathe at about that measurement

That will work too. The bolt holes suck to do by hand without a mill but they can be done.

Next one, I'll get the holes larger before I bore the throat. This one I'll have some grinding to do

Replaced the original AF on my 038 Super with a new one. I was warped.

Choke and multifunction 'switch' shaft works much better.

Had a little break, so I chucked it in the lathe, Put a much steeper angle on it, and I'm liking it way better. Just about ready for grinding the nut reliefs.

Same footprint for carb studs on the 066/660, 044/440, and 038.

I'll have the next picture of my 038 guys, my apologies, I get carried away with the 90cc stuff

So what are you doing about the filter cover and twist lock?

Going to see if I have room on a shelf for them .......

One more time into the lathe chuck after the air filters arrive, and it'll be just about finished

They look great in a box.

 

[Moparmyway]

OK, now we're just about there

 

[Moparmyway]

It's done, and its got pep. Way more pep without the restrictive oem choke and AF setup. I'm narrowing down production time too, but its still a good few days for me to make one.......... having to get a few passes on the lathe in between honeydo items takes alot longer than one would think

 

[Moparmyway]

Icing on the cake .........

I think it looks good enough to use now, maybe a prefilter or two over the K&N ............... I'll just have to get some cutting time on her to see how the K&N holds up

Nice job Kevin!
