A few years ago I aquired an 044 stihl, even with a D handle this became unstartable for my 84 year old carcass.
So I bought a new stihl oem 046 cyl. & piston with a decomp button (made in Brazil).
I made a thinner base gasket which gave me a squish of .018, well, I can't start that either, so I went back to the original base gasket, squish is .032, now I can start it.
What are some good work saw No's to grind to, I will not be advancing the spark. Thanks
