Thanks for watching. This saw was purchased from a garage sale with little history. Now we have to figure out why it was put there. Can we get it running and was it worth it? - Авто та транспорт
Just bought one at a garage sale for $15.00 Canadian. I told my wife my budget was $10.00 but $15.00 was still a steal of a deal.
Pulled it twice. Didn’t start but great compression. Will start diagnosing to see what it needs.
Cool to see from comments it was built in West Germany.
I know right. I thought it was cool too
Fix 'er up! I bought my 034 Super already well-used. That was 20 years ago, and it's still going strong. A great machine!!
thank you Yooper14
hi, do you know the difference between the av and the av super?
@@jbbolts ....could you please explain the difference ...Thank you
@@tonyd6821 ive been digging around for the answer but still not sure... getting mixed answers no one seems to know for sure
That’s a pro saw keep it and fix it take care of it and it will last you forever
i will thank you
I have the same saw for 20 years already.
These are better then the new ones.
Fix it or be cursed.
The part you need is not that expensive and you can aswell upgrade like mine.
The carburator be fine.
Juse good fuel with 95-oct.
Aspen pre-mixed gas would be best.
Then juse it.
Then it comes alive again.
This saw has more then 5HP .
You need hair on the balls to handle it
@@jeroenb1155 No, you don't need Any curses for fiying This toy !!! ! !!! It Can be done Easy, except if the main shaft is not tooo damged. Pwy.
You don't run 95 octane in this saw or any other saw for that matter. 87 with ethanol and it will run like a scalded dog.
@@mikespain8655 Stihl is German.
You cant buy 3th world country fuel in Germany.
The lowest is 95 oct.
Aswell is original Stihl fuel and Aspen.
That makes you a American't
I used to work on Stihl saws for a living and still have an 034 since it was new back in 1989. Well worth fixing . The factory set up was 325 pitch chain. New sprocket and bearing isn't that expensive at all.
I really appreciate the insight
I traded my 028 farm boss for the 034 Super (not AV) in 1990 and been very well served by it since! More power 4hp in a lightweight albeit Plastic body (instead of metal on full commercial pro models). Use Echo oil mix! Sorry Stihl oil mix caused lots of problems! Another plus = you can upgrade to the cylinder & piston/ring kit from an 036 and gain 1HP more! Haven't yet on mine since compression is surprisingly strong even today 😜. Unlike George mine has 3/8" clutch bar chain setup - maybe that makes it 'Super'? I did wear out the original 16" then upgraded to 20" Oregon end sprocketed premium.
I have that same saw. I’ve had it close to 35 years and it’s still going strong! I’d fix it up and use it, but don’t use that old bar as you can see it’s turned blue from overheating. It’s probably been run without oil. Also check that the oil injection to the chain is working properly.
thank you Uncle Hornet, You are exactly right.
actually stihl heat treats the bar rails, notice how even the bluing is the lingth of the bar,
no oil or dull chain will be very localized,
.......and you must take care of your equipment, 35 yrs. bravo,
easiest way is just not to abuse it when you use it,
@@thenn869 thank you for the comment.
Heat treated new bars are not blue! The turning blue is caused by heating and slow cooling “ called running the colours by blacksmiths” it actually tempers the bar making it softer. Look up heating and tempering of carbon steels if you want more information.
@@thenn869 The Easiest way ! Is ! Just ! Don't !! Use !! It !!
I love my 034. It is getting on a bit but it is still the saw I use the most. Their power to weight ratio is very good. Fix it. You won’t be disappointed.
i definitely will. thank you Pickle Farmer
I bought the same saw 34 years ago and it still runs strong,but it was only used to clear my house lot and occasionally for firewood. I believe I paid a little less than $300 for it then. So it would be up to you on how much you would spend to repair it. Good Luck with your saw! They Made Good Saws Back Then!!
I completely agree with you John Christy. Thanks for your time.
I’ve had my 034 Super for 20 years. She cut 20+ full cords of firewood each year! It’s a beast of a saw for the size! Fix it and us it! She’s my baby!!!
Thank you Nate Babcock for the comment. I will definitely try.
I have spent 170 Euros 2 years ago for renowing the Stihl 034 that i foud in my Grandfather's garage I have a newer type of the carb, (with a plastic distancer) that is running worse than the old types of the carburetors. I also had redesigned the exhaust chamber, because the original was tooo much restricting . Btw, i saw, that you have the same exhauist. It took me 2 whole years, to study the Proper shape of the exhaust . Even the "experts" at our service couldn't give me proepr acvices, but just the starting points into which way the design of the exhaust should be developing. But, it was enough for me to continue. I had about 5 major Changes to the steel exhaust chamber , and also about 10 smaller changes , that took at the "fine tuning" of the exhaust system. I also had to buy another exhaust chamber, because i destroyed the first one, because, at the Beginning of the redesigning, i didn't know how the Good exhaust should Be from the beginning ! I gained some power, as i measured it with my father , when we closed the other exhaust pipe . Yes, i made 2 exhaust pipes. But most importantly : It now runs Very well, almost perfect, BUT Also : it is Not so noisy, except trough the carburetor-reversed noise, at which i also redesigned the intake/filter cap , so, that it gets more air trough the less restricted holes trough it. I am Very satisfyed with this chainsaw :-) :-)
Thank you for the video , so, that i saw what type of the carb this model has, and which type of the exhaust chamber it has, because there were more than 3(-4) types of the steel exhaust chamber ... :-)
I would fix also this your chainsaw, if i would have it except if the mainshaft is not tooo much damged where that bearing for the clutch is running ... or if a new main shaft is not so expensive ( plus if the outer shel of the clutch is not too high priced )
Peace with you from the Eu :-)
Thank you for sharing your experience with this saw. I really appreciate it. Seems like the saw is working great now.
@@HomeGaragechannel Thank you for your response :-) Amm, but, about which saw you are talking lately in your last sentence ? :-/ Yours, or mine ? :-/ Thanks again :-) Peace with you from Eu :-)
@@kopronko I'm sorry I was talking about your saw.
@@HomeGaragechannel Oh, no problem, brother :-) Yes, it runs Almost as it should, except the idling is not so reliable(constant rpm's) , But, it is still much Better as it was from the factory :-)
Thanks for your work with the video :-) Peace with you from Eu :-)
Definitely worth repair. 034 super is comparable to 036. Pro level saw. I'd rebuild and ultrasonic clean the carb. 3/8-7 pin rim, new drum, bearing, washer and clip. 20" Oregon bar and chain combo.
Wow thanks for the specs. I appreciate it
@@HomeGaragechannel you're welcome. I have an 034 myself.
Will's Garage, you are correct about it's power comparison to the 036. Good, reliable pro saw and I LOVE mine!
I'd definitely fix her. I've still got my modded West Germany made 034 super that I used professionally for a long time. My 362 c-m has taken the mid size place in my professional arsenal, but I still use the 034 for firewood- it's a very solid saw and you'll get many good years out if it.
thanks for sharing your experience I appreciate it
I have a 34av and a 362. The 34 is do smooth
That saw has been badly abused by the previous owner. Parts machine. I would not put very much money into it and it is pretty old. Thanks, that was a very good video.
You are completely correct. Thanks for the comment I appreciate it.
Fix it. I would...even if it ends up on a shelf! Nice videos, thanks!
thank you Gilbert Cruz for the comment I appreciate it
I miss the old times where everything was made of metal. Sure it made these things heavier but that helped it saw through things better.
I completely agree with you, but they don't want t things to last a long time, so plastic it is.
I have had one of these for 25 years. Definitely worth fixing it!
thank you pacific dune
I think you should get rid of the saw. Please send it FedEx to me in North Dakota!
nice comment thanks man
Last year you did a fix for a oil leak on a lawnmower of the push variety anyway it turned out to be a that the sump gasket was missing I'm having the same problem and it's a easy fix but thanks so much for that video you are one of my favorite UA-camrs.
Thank you for the comment I appreciate it.
I would definitely rebuild that baby with factory parts (when possible). I have owned the same 034 for 30+ years. I decided to not restart for me after one tank of fuel yesterday. I will get her running today and continue the storm cleanup. You can never go wrong with a saw built in a county that no longer exist (West Germany). Thanks for the great video. Tim
Thank you Tim for your time, good luck with the saw.
Just took a little time this morning to go through my baby. Took everything apart, inspected and cleaned including the carburetor. Everything checked out and nothing seems to fix my problems. I finally took the exhaust off banged it out on a concrete floor removing small amount of rust, bang! She fired right up. Never would’ve thought of checking the exhaust if you had not mentioned it. That small amount of back pressure must’ve been enough to stop it from lighting. Thanks again for the info now back to Cleaning up the storm damage for my family
no problem
At some point id toss the thing though.. just spend like 250 to get one that atleast works well... so u dont have to spend 150 in parts right away... and then find out ur crankshaft is gone and ur out another 350 for a crank and a cilinder kit..
As a rule ,Stihl saws don’t wear out. The 034S was a great mid sized saw, it is on the heavy side however.
I would definitely agree with you.
That is a well made saw. You will definitely be impressed when/if you get it back in working order. If not I would like to buy it- lol!
its still on the self waiting
Home Garage I know the feeling.All of my projects are on hold right now.
Great video , I've been watching you for a while now and i love these videos.
Also i would keep the saw and try to fix because it is a good saw.
Thank you I appreciate it. Yes if I can do it for an affordable price I will try and save it.
I mostly agree with you except one thing. If you have a half dozen or so of something, you have 6 times the maintenance. If they are not exactly the same make and model it gets tiring to keep some stuff alive. I'm not talking bar and chain. Sounds odd, I was a much happier guy when I only had 2 of everything. I'm heading that way again. Soon, real soon.
@@larryspiller6633 interesting point
@@larryspiller6633 Sounds like there was only ! Two ! Of You !!
@@davidwillard7334 I got rid of one of me, too much maintenance. I did get all of the Stihl going again. I wore out both arms doing so but it all runs again.
Fix it I have the same saw and it works great! I keep it clean always and it runs good enough to get any job done. Thansks
No problem and thanks for the comment
Between 250 and 300 dollars it's worth when it's working correctly your definitely in a good spot still putting money into it
thank you for putting a value on it, it gives me and opportunity to start pricing parts.
Hi there, I have been using the same model for the last 40 Years, great saw!
Thank you for sharing your experience . I really appreciate this saw as well.
This saw was not made 40 years ago
My dad has all Stihl products 3 chainsaws and couple weed eaters. They run good for years. Even if you don't fix it chainsaw motor makes a good go-kart engine. Very powerful lil things. Great video always wanted to see one taken apart.
chainsaw engines on go kart sounds like a lot fun, thank you.
Just picked up an old 034 sitting besides thrown lawnmovers etc on the dump. Had comp and all, currently in the process of cleaning it before i go on to troubleshoot.
Man i love old chainsaws !
Me too. Thanks for the comment
Your videos are clear and very explanatory.... great work.. Save it for parts when your old.. lol... Just buy a new one....
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Fix it! My 034 Super is probably the best saw that I've ever owned, having bought it used several years ago for a good price. It has lots of power and it fired right up on Saturday after not being used for the last year or two. Used it again today to fell a few trees while cleaning up a neighbor's property.
Yes i intend on fixing it
What size pull cord do you use on your 034? After about 3 cranks with new cord on mine it brakes . Maybe i need to go up a size. I bought the Saw at yard sale.
@@jerrylittle8922 I would probably use a #5 at least but larger is probably better.
@@HomeGaragechannel Thank you.
@@jerrylittle8922 no problem
I have 029 super had some problem,fixed it awesome saw also 028 wood boss got it going if I was you get it running thanks for sharing
Thats probably what I'll do. Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
I've heard people say the 028wb is not a pro saw. I just picked one up and this thing is built like a tank. Makes my ms250 look like a plastic mattel toy. Any reason it's not a pro saw, or am i mistaken?
Quality old saw, would fetch really good money here in England. Of course fix it, use the bar and chain and get the right sprocket. Just hope crankshaft has not been trashed and new bearing and drum fit well.
very well said. Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
I would fix it. Your videos are great, thank you! I would also like to suggest getting an Oregon inline spark tester, I had one like yours and often I could not see the light on it even when I had good spark, the Oregon one is much brighter.
Thank you for the tip I appreciate it
I just puth a cable in the cap and if i get a shock it has spark
@@promemesnl5897 Excellent ! Idea !!
It shows the carb adjustments on the side of the cover. Turn both screws in till they snug up and back them out one full turn. Good video
Thank you Mathew Grigg
Fix it! I have one from the late 80s. Runs great still. Only problem I’ve ever had is a broken contact spring for the ignition switch. So I could use a video on that
yes I might have to do that video. Thanks for the comment.
Only FAT ! THUMBS !! BREAK ! CONTACT !! SPRINGS !!
That's a good one 👌👍 love it ❤️❤️ Sthil is#1
stihl is good equipment
Do you have the part number for the carburetor on this saw. The one I have matches yours but what comes up when I do a parts search looks completely different.
since I didn't replace the carb I don't have the part number.
Wet sand the bar and repaint it. I did that to my 024 and 026. I use Rustoleum Flat White over a coat of grey primer. After it dries good,paint the bar with Satin Clear. This keeps fingerprints and bar oil from staining the bar. You can add a Stihl decal on the bar if you want. I also ground the chain on my chain grinder to bring it back to like new specs. I then hand file my chains.
that's a good idea.
On two cycle engines it is best to dump a capful of two cycle down its throat. This gives some lubrication to the bearings and seals. You can put a little under the spark plug but don’t forget to put some down it’s throat, first. Try cranking it from the half choke position when you do this.. I pour a capful of two cycle down their throat when trying to crank a saw after rebuilding a carb and crank from half choke.
I appreciate the information John Clarke.
Just bought the new husqvarna 545 mark II today. I highly recommend this saw.
that's a very nice saw.
My favorite old saw. Love them
me too. thanks for the comment
You have so much in it by now, might as well get a bar and chain. My vote.
thank you for the vote I would love to get it running again.
I have many saws, one is the ms170. The saw is 11 years old always used 1:50 fuel mix and never had any Problems..
thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Should start on the second pull, good work 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Fix it up...thats a good saw...I have the same saw nd had for years now. Carb needs rebuilt nd thanks for the video...👍
No problem and thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Just a friendly piece of advice. All stihl saws that end in AV. I was told by my local Stihl dealer that in the mid 1990s all service parts have been discontinued for any saws ending with av. Which really sucks I have two of them. But stihl is no different than any other company they do that shit on purpose it forces you to buy their new stuff. Make sure you talk to your local dealer they were able to retrofit some new parts to keep my saws running. But that's not always the case.
thank you for the information
034 is easy to get parts for my favorite saw to rebuild. Every one that comes up for sale around here I snap up. Porting them is fun. You can swap in 036 parts also go aftermarket for parts.
As blue as the end of that crankshaft is I would say the crank is history as well as crank seal damage from the heat. Aftermarket parts are available for these Saw's but it's labor intensive to replace a crankshaft. Might make for a good video if you want to replace it though.
are you absolutely correct about that.
This happened to the sprocket on the family ms311 due to the chain being overtightened. We have used it occasionally for years after that. your saw should be ok!
thank you Viper Strike.
I have the same saw, with maybe 100 more tanks thru it than yours. 3/8 rim clutch with an 8 tooth rim, new 3/8 50 25 inch bar, skip tooth chain. and the clutch bearing. Find leaks in all the rubber parts and tighten or replace them. service the recoil and You might have a good cutter with a $300 value. Keep in mind, usefulness, beauty and value are all relative. Is it 101 or lol
thank you Denver Ray for the information I appreciate it
Thank you for the video!! Since it a Stihl I personally would fix it. I’m prejudiced because I love Stihl chainsaws.
Me too. Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
@@HomeGaragechannel I don't think Stihl is any better than any other well made piece of equipment. It's just a name.
@@stevewarren3051 very true
Definitely worth fixing. Your videos are really informative!! Keep up the great work !! 👍
Thank you George Heredia
On two cycle engines it is best to dump two cycle gas down their throats, so as to lubricate the bottom end, seals, bearings, etc. the rocker are you mentioned is called a lifter and the other parts - lifter spring, pin and needle valve. I usually replace all of the parts if I open up a carb. They are not expensive but a Walbro K10 rebuild kit comes with every part you will need but a new lifter spring. Sounds like to me the high throttle screw is misadjusted. Adjust it, first. Then the L jet and the LA screw.
oh, yes You are absolutely right. I'll have to remember that from now on. Thank you John Clarke.
Sell it to me! We have 5 saws this one is by far, out runs, out cuts anyone of the others. It is the oldest one we have by at least 20 years and definitely the best. It has a odd size of chain, 20 inch bar, throw chips 30 feet behind you all day. We have a 391 a year old but the 034 is still the go to saw. We have a 251 we loan out (which is a major mistake).
if i decide to sell you'll be the first to know
It’s a great saw fix it you won’t be disappointed, (if you can still get the parts)
@@kevinhowell646 ill definitely try
This a chainsaw I would invest in for one it a vintage saw it Will be worth it in the long run if you don’t find Anymore It would be your choice if you go OEM or parts from Amazon or eBay it’s a keeper
thank you Efrain Vazquez
Those Stihl saws are pretty durable, I mean, i don't know how old yours is but it is indeed an older one and is still going, I personally would fix er up and user till she dies completely
That seems to be the consensus
I would fix it. I recently picked up an stihl 032 at garage sale. All i had to do to get it running again was put new fuel line in and it has been a great running since
nice find!
I just can’t stop watching these videos I know how a do a lot of this stuff but it’s fun to watch. The videos are short but very informative. Keep it up!!!!
Absolutely Jonathan Kuhn
I would do 2 things befor I made a decision to "fix" the saw. First I would make sure the shaft from the engine to the sprocket is not damaged and with in tolerances. With the needle bearings going out the shaft may be damaged and that would be a compleat teardown. Second would be a compression test to see what the # are. If they are on the low side again you are looking at a compleat tear down. That being said it still may be worth the compleat overhaul because those were good saws and they donot make them like they use to and getting a new comparable saw might be a lot more expensive than the repairs and you would have practically a new saw.
I have an 045 purchased used 45+ yrs ago that is still going strong. All original and used a lot for firewood. I have an 038 and I think a 251?pro module that replaced an 011 I just worked to death. Good luck with your saw.
thanks for sharing your experience I appreciate it
fix it for sure. check the oiler for flow too. it will serve you well worth about 300. i got a 024 av super nice saw

@@HomeGaragechannel sure if you had to buy new 60cc saw about 600 bucks
@@frankphoto2 now that's a lot of money.
@@HomeGaragechannel and you know what they say about the old stuff "they don't make em like they used to!
Definitely worth fixing! You will enjoy it! Or you could resell it and get a pretty good penny. :)
you're right about that
Carb kit, needle bearing and new style clutch drum. All super cheap. This era saw is so simple to work on. Just did mine with a knock off coil and carb kit.
Thank you for the information I appreciate it
Fix it..the previous owner didn't know what he was doing..still a good saw..just hope the crankshaft isn't damaged..
Absolutely right. Thank you Rodney Brand.
BUY THE PARTS! The sum total of the parts surely cannot be near what the price of this saw would be if new. The 034 is a magnificent saw! Well worth fixing at this point.
thank you Eddie Vangilder, I think you're right.
What camera do you use to film your videos?
I use a samsung phone
034 is a good saw. Ive swapped all my 40 cc (some of the smaller ones too) and above to 3/8, except for 880 and its 404. Have both husky and stihl, no real preference. I'd rather run the same kind of chain, that way you don't pick the wrong one by mistake. I do however try to keep husky chains and Stihl chains separate as well as the ripping chains. The Husky 61 and the Stihl 034 super are both good saws imo.
Thank you for sharing that information.
I have had my 034av for 30 years I have changed the spark plug one time great great saw !!!
nice!
Hi, i have exactly the same chainsaw and i am looking for a carb replacment but can't find the same thing on the net. Do you have a good replacment carb to suggest ?
unfortunately I don't a recommendation
@@HomeGaragechannel thanks but i finaly manage to find a new carb for my 034AV and my 021. . Cost a lot but i think it is worth it :-)
Fix it great little saw
you are absolutely correct
Firrrrrrrst! Love your vids brother. Running and revving that saw without the drum cover is a risky proposition. The clutch does not know that the drum is missing and the higher the RPMs the more the clutch expands. Scary if it lets go. Just sayin and I would fix and keep that saw in a heartbeat. Thanks and good diagnostics.👍
Way to go!
I hate to say it but it did happen to me one time with a cheap edger. Started the thing without the drum and the clutch exploded in front of me. Very scary
For that name brand id fix it being that it's worth it still even after buying new parts
You are definitely correct about that.
Did you fix it? I've got one of these. Came out of a skip (dumpster) with no zorst, chain or guidebar. I asked for it, they said take it away, it's seized. Wasn't. Zortst face of the piston was perfect. Flushed it with 25:1 and it fired on third pull.. It was my backup/big fells saw for 5 years (I'm self employed). Still starts easy even if left for months, just put new fuel in it.
no it's still sitting on my shelf
@@HomeGaragechannel Because of the severe wear on the clutch drum bearing surface on the crankshaft?
not any particular reason, I just haven't committed to repairing it just yet.
great tutorial i have this saw
thank you Mark Bidwell for the comment. I hope to get mine back together soon.
I would replace the clutch cover with one for a sprocket drive to match the chain, and keep the saw. Total parts should be about 20 bucks. Make sure the chain matches the bar (drive thickness, 50 gauge, or 63 gauge).
that's a great idea
@@HomeGaragechannel T.Y. If possible, go with a reliable supplier, like HL/Supply, Sawzilla, WolfCreek (I don't know if they sell those type of parts), or Chainsaw Conservation Components. It's not that I don't trust Flea-Bay, but sometimes the merchants don't know what-fits-what, and the wrong, (non-fitting items) are shipped. Much luck, If you want to give it away, (or sell it), I would be a very happy owner. Thanks for the video.
thank you Thomas Gronek for the suggestions.
Seemed like it was idling high. Bad cranks seals can cause that. Might not be the problem but it happens. My old still 034 is still going strong after 28 years. I do about 7 cords a year with it. I’d buy a new one exactly like it in a heartbeat if they still built them like this.
You might be right, thank you omyajt
Just get a new needle bearing for the clutch and a chain to match the clutch drum sprocket.
The carb is fine.. You can't rev it up right now because the clutch is hitting the case..

I haven't looked at any current high end saws lately so I was unaware of that. I'll have to go and take a look now
Never turn on a chainsaw without the clutch drum, it could explode (better not ask me why I know that :-) Other than that, I really like the videos on your channel. keep it up! Greetings from Italy.
Great point!
I had a clutch fly apart on me too a long time ago on an old poulan. That hurt! Never run a saw without the clutch bell! Not hating or trying to be contrary my friend, it just takes one time getting hit by flying debris and you'll never forget that again,. I promise you that!!! Lol!!!!!

okay I understand because finding parts for these chainsaws wouldn't be cost friendly and also they would be quite rare to find considering the age
very true
DO NOT USE PREEMIXED FUEL, I am a small engine mechanic and I have seen preemixed fuel tear the rings up, so the rings get stuck in and they are a pain to get loose. If the rings are stuck, then the saw will have no compression
i hadn't heard that.
Everytime I clean a carb the way you did it never starts I like to use wd40 with a straw and spray each whole on the carb
That works too.thanks for the comment I appreciate it
W.d ! Only ! Eats ! Carbs !! Up !!
Really good video only think don’t use carb cleaner on the end side of a any carb it dries stuff out a non flammable brake cleaner is the way to go
Thanks for the tip I appreciate it
@@HomeGaragechannel great video I found your stuff now I can tell my customers to look you up on small engine work
@@colerobinson8527 that's very kind of you.
good video. should have poured fuel into the spark again to save extending pulling time to get fuel through after carb service
yes I completely agree with you on that.
I would fix it or use it for parts for fix on other one.
thanks for the comment I appreciate it
It's amazing what people can mess up.
Lol.. yes it still amazes me to
