Stihl 038 Magnum

Hi guys, I have a Stihl 038 Magnum that runs excellent after
first start up and uses one tank of fuel. After refueling there
is no way to restart the saw, it just wont start. Go out to cut
firewood the following day and the same procedures as above
occurs. Have changed spark plug and filters, cleaned whole
machine but still the same.
I also have taken it to a Stihl repair centre who stated there
is no problem, also taken it to another repair outlet that also
said there is no problem. But there is and it wont go away.
Please if anyone has any idea I would be very much appreciated.
Regards Malcolm

For what ever reason it's loosing it's fuel charge and I would
suspect stiff innards in the carb diaphragms .
As just an observation this model is perhaps one of Stihls best
efforts of any saw they ever built .I have two mags and one 038
av .The one souped up version which will cut on a par with an
066 but if it sits for a day requires up to 10 pulls to get
started but after that fires 90 percent of the time on one .
I've been wrong a number of times but my casual observation is
to re kit the carb .

After rethinking this if you run the saw until you run out the
tank it will indeed take a number of pulls to get it going .You
have to evacuate all that air in the fuel line before it sucks
any gas .
Next time it refuses to start give it a little squirt of mix gas
through the carb .If it putts you have a problem with fuel
delivery ,if not to have a spark issue .

Thanks Al for your quick response. But I did not explain
properly, I actually turn the saw off before running out of fuel
to allow for refueling.
I was explaining to a mate last night of the problem and he
suggested it might be a faulty magneto? I surpose anything is
worth a try.

Well if after you shut it down you might test and see if it has
spark .That would tell the tale .
