Hey there he is, how about some info on these super dupper magnums now that slacker boy is gone.....or is there some kind of secret hand shake?

Here is what I know;

I got mine from the PNW, and I made calls & sent emails to find out as much as I could on them.

A stihl distributor in the PNW, had mods done to them, and marketed them to local dealers, they had some port work done to the cylinders, a few mods to the carb, and they put a deflector on the flywheel side of the muffler. Stihl distributor is the ones who came up with the super magnum name & sticker.

I talked to the dealer were mine was sold new. Got that info from them.

I also emailed stihl, (for what it's worth) the guy from stihl who emailed me back, said yes a few stihl distributors (not just in the USA) had mods done to stock saws, and named them super magnums. Guy from stihl said it was only done for a short period of time, it did not go over as expected. So they stopped, he told me if I had one I should hang on to it, as they are pretty rare.

During my research, I stumbled on a saw site over in Europe, a member there had a 044 super magnum, and pieces of a 2nd one. I joined that forum, so I could view the pic's and talked with him a little in PM.

I talked with someone in WI, who was/is a dealer, he told me the subject of super magnums came up a few times, at dealer seminars, but he only heard about them he never got any in his store in his hands. Years later someone brought one to him in a box in pieces blow up.

----

It is just a neat piece of history. I've ran my super magnum against a few of my stock 044's and it's noticeably stronger, then a stock saw. I also ran mine super magnum against a ported 044 I had from a builder here, the super magnum did not beat it, but it was right on it's heels, needed a stop watch to tell which one was faster.

Super magnums are not just a stock saw with a sticker.

They are out there, I missed out on two others shortly after I bought mine, sure wish I could have got my hands on them also. A member on this site, found one also for sale to him locally.

That is what I know, take it for what it's worth, think that they are fake, or real.

I found an 038 with the same badge a few years ago. Guy wanted too much for it as it had a leaky tank. Always wondered about it though.
