STIHL 044 10 mm

Ok need just a little help on this one - how many different Cylinder Gasket thicknesses are there ?

I picked up a 11280292301 today (haven't mic it yet) but it's different than the one I got in gasket kit with all the gasket in it

I've decided to put another one together

Little help please

I just use sealer and toss the gaskets.

It bumps the compresion about 15-20 psi ditching the gasket i think they read in the 170 psi range with gasket delete ony saws.

Currently two thicknesses are offered for regular elevation and high elevations.
Brian is spot on I have never seen an 044/440 of any generation that needed a base gasket or that didn't run better without it.
1128 - FTW 518 style
