Stihl 038-AV Chainsaw

I have one that's over 20 years old, my Dad bought it new. The saw has seen little use and is in real good shape except that it hasn't been started in over ten years.I pulled the rope this afternoon and the motor isn't frozen. I was thinking I would pull the plug and pour a little Marvel Mystery Oil in and let it set for a few minutes. Fresh gas and a clean plug and see if she will go. Sound good to you small engine guys?? These are supposed to be pretty good saws.

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
The older Stihl are in demand, as they were made in Germany, not like the new ones that are made in China. It is worth a lot.

Mine is over 30 years old. I had to get a gas line for it recently.

That is very true. I had a guy recently offer me $500 for my 009L. I turned it down. That is the handiest saw I have ever owned.
For fifty bucks I?ll let you smell it. [:)]
That's what she said!!
Sorry, I just had to.[:D]
I use the pre mixed quarts from Stihl or Husqvarna.
When I had put it up 12 years earlier I poured out all the gas. Still, I figured the saw would need new plugs and a tune up etc.
So I filled it up with new gas and oil, on the second pull cranked right up! Ran like a champ.
Used the little saw for 3 months building the log cabin and it never skipped a beat. Bought this saw 32 years ago I guess made by Krauts.
