Add "start assistance" to 044?

It's relative .You see to me 50 is young .

Why yes, yes she is. Mere child.[emoji6]

Ditto what Jeremy (Adirondackstihl) said.

You also may want to review the procedures your Dad uses to start the saw, there may be an easier way. I am well past 50 and I start my ported 460s w/o using the compression relief, and they all have timing advance.

If your Dad has other issues, perhaps a smaller - lighter saw should be considered.

I've yet to find a good saw shop North of Seattle...

@junkman might know of a good one up that way.

 

[MustangMike]

Heck, if he is close enough, he should just bring it to him!

LOL! My dad was a logger for years. If I suggested a different start procdure I'd be due for an ass whooping! He's well past 60 if you're counting.m

I have yet to find one too in my area. I rely on the guys here for their knowledge and many of them can either sell you what you need or give you a lead. I have yet to have any bad dealings with anyone on ope and many have amazed me with their generosity.

I'd love to know what he thinks. From his posts he seems like a Stihl guy. Would he ever accept me and my Swedish harem?

 

[MustangMike]

Just bring your Dad's saw!!!

 

[dall]

or the harem

I also have my dad's Stihl pole saw too (so I don't have to climb as much) but it's a 4-mix. Not sure how those are seen round these parts.

 

[MustangMike]

I'm not up on em at all, so I can't say.

Is your Dad's 044 stock? They respond very well to a few simple mods, and they are great saws, one of the best for power - weight out there.

Is there any porting that makes them easier to start? Or is it a thicker gasket and retarded timing all that's in the playbook?i Iwant to get him a lighter bar (he's running a 32)

Not sure, I would think retarded timing and decreased compression for a start but then again I am a hack with a horse rasp.

The Stihl ES light bars are way lighter than the standard bars. I run a 28" on my 440 and it balances perfectly. It feels like a standard 20".

Do we know if this is a 10 or 12mm saw yet? Junkman may have one left over from his hybrid. They're about 2.5 hours away from each other
