Rebuilding and porting an 044

No new clutch was needed.......

its a wonder.

Looks awesome

After a few tanks it should really start coming alive. It's all sorta tight right now.

That just had some really good numbers in it........I did very little grinding.

tell him to use 16:1 so it will outlast him.

Nice job there Randy, great to see one of those great saws come back to life.

What length bar is that?

Every time I run my MS440 (like yesterday) I mentally thank you, as I just bought a new piston, cleaned the cylinder using your method, and basically reclaimed a low hour saw from the dead! It even came to me with brand new HD-2, fuel filter & plug. I presume they lean burned it after tuning it (Hi was set 1/4 turn out instead of Low).

Yes sir. It was running 15200 or so. Took it down to 14600.

I didn't check it before machine work. The transfers were at 122 after. Ended up 102\122\78

Perfect numbers for that saw.

 

[MustangMike]

Could not plan much better #s than that!

 

[Deets066]

I like a fuzz more intake, but either way will run great

I did work on the roof of the transfers to flatten them a little, but not much. Everything about this jug was just really good. I probably spent more time changing the shape and angle of the exhaust outlet, and matching the muffler to it than anything else.

I agree that more intake might give it a little more snot. I tend to think about fuel usage, and idle quality maybe a little more than I need too.

I'm hung up on building "the perfect work saw".

LOL

78 is the universal stihl good intake number

 

[MustangMike]

Looks pretty damn close to perfect to me Randy, and it is still breaking in.

Sorta like the first rule of medicine....

Ya mean that "83" helps to explain why my Flying Tiger 660 is so thirsty!!!

The guy filming my milling said he could see the fuel going down!
