Tips on Porting 044 Slant Fin/10mm

[bulletpruf]

I'm going through an 044. It's a 10mm wrist pin slant fin jug. I'm going through it now; will get an NOS piston, dual port muffler with gutted baffle, base gasket delete (assuming squish works out).

Have a pencil grinder and was thinking about doing some light work on it. Any tips on some basic porting? Widening the exhaust port a bit?

Thanks,

Scott

Use the flat muff cover and dual port the side bolted to the saw.
Mastermind ports a mean 044!

CFB was very helpful when I ported my 036.

Already did the dual port and have the flat muffler cover.

Thanks

That a really nice looking 10mm slant fin!
My suggestion would be to find another readily available jug to do some learning on before grinding on a harder to find jug.
There’s a really big learning curve to even basic porting and a few wrong moves with a grinder and you got a turd...

My all time favorite saw since 89, owned over 25 new and used, and never grow tired of using them.

The 10 mm slant fin cylinders didn`t need much port work, they were close to hot rods as any Stihl saw was but more dependable than the Husqvarnas...
