These two little guys.
One is now 100% functional. So far.

So the 056 now runs like a champ. Not so lucky for 044 and 046. The 046 case bearings have failed and the 044 looks like it was ran on a very rich mix of roofing tar and 5mm screws. This is going to be one of those cylinders that can only be saved by porting it.

Did the 044 ingest a muffler mounting screw?
Just curious as to where the screw came from

At least the screw is salvageable.

The screw in the picture is one I put there for reference. The original screw that came loose and made the marks is long gone and the saw appears to have built up most of the carbon after the fact.
The owner was not aware in order to give a backstory. It came in as a good runner needing a carb rebuild. That carbon tightened squish must have made for some good compression.

I think Randy did a thread not too long ago about a clogged oil tank vent causing this problem and one or 2 ways to repair/ replace it.

The hose is the issue with these. It is remedied by replacing the hose and adding a connector to place more pressure on the hose to tank sealing surface

Why does everyone hate 441's? There's one for sale local but I know nothing about stihl other than 038's. I dont want to buy a POS I can't flip easily.

T-1 says they are the best saw stihl ever made .

They're heavy. I'll run an 044 all day without thinking about the weight of the saw. Run the 441 all day, I'm I still had the 044. The 044 will be on its way to Randy soon [emoji51]

The customer opted for a port job instead of jug replacement, so I gave it a good makeover.


Now it's time to install new crank seals and reassemble.

Kept chasing issue since installing big carb, big intake and new tank for such awhile back.

Turned out today to be a leaky check valve in the carb.

Put a new nos big carb on today and is all good again.

Lousy weather today, figured out it was time to make a system for porting tools, left to drill a few better holes for my handpieces (and no, I dont plan to fill it up with 40 different burrs lol):

Nicely done Tor! I'll be doing one like that soon!

thanks Dan
I thought it would be a good idea to line up a system, instead of having everything in a box.
Left to order a few more burrs that I will cut to 1 1/2" lenght for the RA handpiece.

That looks a lot like the 026 I finished up today.

That's a clean saw! Did it start out like mine?

Not quite as bad. It had a little transfer in the cylinder and bad crank bearings. I cleaned the cylinder up and rebuilt all the bad stuff with oem. It's been a rainy day project.
The broken tank handle is really common on these. I've bought several like that.
