It could be time to bargain.

I have a hunch he will not bargain.

It would not surprise me if that sells.

Anything special about this one? It's tempting me.

Chainsaw - farm & garden - by owner - sale - craigslist

This saw was gone through at our local sthil chainsaw shop. New carburetor! An old tried and true saw with plenty of power. It is the pro saw of its time. They made two different sized saws of this...

Between the 038 and 038 special, I would take the special. It has a larger piston and more power. I had a coworker that both saws and I liked the 038 Super better. Good saw, good power, not bad to work on. I ended up having to split the case on the 038 Super to replace the bearings and was a quick and easy process. My coworker was using 28" bars on the saw and that made them a little front heavy, if using a lot, I would probably put a 24" bar on it. Parts are still plentiful.

This one's an 034 Super. 61ish CC. There much difference in it and the 038 Special, other than 10 CC? I'd probably port it so it'd handle a 24" bar. That'd justify spending the big bucks to replace the 24" on my ported 044 with a 28".

his one's an 034 Super. 61ish CC.

Shoot...yeah, I overlooked that small detail. I think the 034/034 Super situation will be similar, the super is a little larger piston and a bit more cc, probably puts it up closer to an 036. I don't think the 034 will have an issue with a 24" even without porting. An 026 will handle a 20" bar so jumping to an 034 should handle the 24 with no issues.

That's kind of what I've found. Supposedly Stihl went to a "better" cylinder design on the Super. Larger intake and maybe other stuff. Same cylinder as the 036 if I'm not mistaken. I like the Stihls from this era.
