New saw or Mod????

I use deflectors from @Red97 and cut them to fit.

Personally I’m not really a fan of exhaust outlets in the front cover in a work saw, unless it’s the only option.
Only a couple guys around here bash the Bark Box. Again, it exits out the front before turning 90° so not a crazy fan, but it’s a simple bolt-on piece that looks decent.

The Straight Shot is heavier, and will probably last forever. But it’s very loud also. If you’re interested in a straight shot, I have one here that I ran for a half tank and would make you a deal on it

Yea I might be interested in it as long as it’s still applicable when I send the saw to you lol. Trying to honeyhole some dollars back for the trip to Huskihl town.

Applicable is up to you. Some folks like them, some don’t

Got a compression gauge for the MS440 while picking up parts from the auto parts store. I would say it’s got good compression still at 150psi. Got a vacuum tester as well but not sure or it makes sense to use without a pressure tester.

Last post on this thread, but wanted to give a big thanks to @huskihl! After our discussion and replacing that one little part the saw is idling and running great. So I’ll run it for a bit and once I get ready it’ll be heading towards @huskihl to be ported. Thanks everyone.
