What’s saw is in the package? An ooerr44 arctic

[Wonkydonkey]

Yes, the exhaust, about £6 from huzlt inc postage, i just fitted it on. I did stock up on starter pawls and a few other things while I was shopping.

I had a look last night at where the fuel is leaking, it seems like I pinched the fuel line a bit and that helped it unseat a bit , I’ve got to have a look and see if I have a spare somewhere. I dont want to pull it out and find out I’d be wasting my time putting it back in if there is anything else wrong.

I leaned the saw out a little bit this afternoon but it’s still fat thou. And I did forget the tacho again..
Fitted an older Oregon chain as I didn’t want to ruin that stihl chain anymore. , the Oregon is abit aggressive (rakers set just below softwood setting) I stuck it into that same wood (horse chestnut/sycamore?) I have vids uploading. I'll let you guess what happens

@MG porting. I think your right about not teasing the saw anymore. I will let it bed in

This is the 7th, number 6 is loading.

Take note at 2min less chips and more saw dust ...

Lol.

You need to put a bit more load on that saw. A 2 foot bar and bigger wood might have it running clean in the cut without four stroking.
Bear in mind that duromatics run hotter than rollomatics. I wouldn't cut a hell of a lot of wood with it on an 044. I might maybe on an old 41AV, but not my 044 But I likes to look after mah O'FoFos.

This is the modified front port I was talking about. It is basically flush with the cover on the inside now, so no lip to get in the way of the exhaust.

Got it running for a third heat cycle. She's way rich here.

ETA - she does sound as sharp and loud as you think - that thing has 8* of timing advance over stock. I doubt she's gonna wanna run that way since I can already tell the new piston is giving me higher compression than before.

 

[Wonkydonkey]

I see the width of the front port, looks to be twice as wide as mine.

Do you know what 8* was on the key. It’s cos I got a bunch of keys,, and the first one I filed I ended up 30thou, so I put it back in the packet and filed another, which I filed less aggressive (new file) and up at 19. So I could pop the 30thou in... and test.. yeh I should throw it in and test, I can just pop it out if it bites to much or pops to much.

I have a vid of 25” bar and a bit of oak with a little less H jet and no burbling But no chugging when I lean on the dawgs ...

 

[00wyk]

I'll tell you if you send me one of your stock keys
I think mine ended up at .3 or so.

 

[Wonkydonkey]

There just huzlt keys I got

Cost more to post than to buy. I think I got 4 or 5 ( I stocked up in case I fudged one or they pinged into outta space).
I did say I stocked up on pawls unstuffs,
Carb kits was the other but not the fuel lines.

Saying that I have not noticed fuel leaking since I re seated the carb and noticed the pinched fuel line.

I got the heated handles working... but I can also say I really notice the vibes in the handles,,, compared to a few other saws I have..
It’s right the av rubbers go hard over time and the result is more hand vibes. ? I know others have said China rubber is harder than oem...and more vibes... so I’m guessing i should have changed the av”s

So more stuffs to do

Yes the AM mounts are a little bit stiffer than OEM but I've been noticing that they start getting a little softer in time.

So this happened

I popped the 30thou key into it.. that aggressive 18” chain on the duromatic scared me..

And I swapped over to the 25” I think I need to give the chain & rakers a bit of love

Now that is flipping bad ass!!!

That's gotta be a tough piece of beech since it's right where it's bifurcated. SHe sounds good. I have a laminated version of that bar. It's light and lasts pretty well.

BTW, I realised I hadn't changed the fuel in my 044 since I last used it. That was 3 months ago! So I'll pop some fresh 95 octane 33:1 mix in it tomorrow and see if it will go to max rpm without detonating once warmed up.

Welcome back you dirty minded Tree Monkey!!!

That’s Awesome, I want the next part,,, porting it etc..

Sound pretty good now good job.

I found it very interesting what Scott was saying about the air filter setup in those saws, and that he said same part I was talking about being the bottleneck...I will have to wait for my hd filters. I guess It will be in the new yr when they arrive.
I’ve been musing that the intake should be a few * more than my 72/73 or whatever it was..seems like 76\77* is the way.... hopefully some one will confirm in a 10mm porting x3 vid soon .. or I just may have to ask him or someone else...

Ahh thanks for the link... I had read that while heatiny my cases... then it got lost/mixed up with all the other stuffs...
Two things I’ve got from these vids ( 12mm bottom end and a 440 top end, (not the same as mine)) and the 3x 10mm 044..(same as mine) both say ditch the old carb and go hd 15 with hd air defilther. I got an Am carb, and hd air defilther on the way. sorry I’m cheap

Scott says about case size old 10mm and 12mm are different.. others have said when they fit 12mm crank in a 10mm case, some need more taking out. Well I measured the clearance in my 10mm crank and case, it was 30thou... I was surprised.

Randy don’t say what he took of the key
And the numbers are 78 on intake and other stuffs (see pic).... anymore intake and it’s glugging fuel.. well I thought it was already @72*\74*

I guess I got a little work to do In the new yr.and . hopefully after mr TM works on those 3x044s
Either way, I agree, mine is coming along nicely...
