Rebuilding and porting an 044

[Deets066]

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!

Yeah when you get over 80 they will drink some fuel

These bearings (I bought a small parts lot on eBay) are sealed bearings........but I don't want the seals. So.....

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).

28"/ 91dl

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

Keep On Working What Chu Got Gurl.

I heat it till it smells funny

If I fart in the midst of it -- it messes everything up an all

I bet this saw needs a new clutch.

Just a few months.

it struck me odd how adding the module it gained more rpms it gained about 1700 more rpms
i guess the points like to float in high rpm enviroments acting like a rev limiter.

that and the bore and stroke is odd 44mm bore with a 40mm stroke.

When we worked on cars with points we always replace them with electronic ignition. Just results in trouble free performance.

Nice job on the 041, but I would still keep it away from the 044s!

Put a long bar on it and tackle big softwoods.

Me to. Plus they tend to pull long bars better.

Good job on the saw Randy, great build thread too.
