Good work! I've dismantled 2 of these right down and put back together . By far the easiest saw I've done. Hard part was getting the damn lip on the cylinder down without snagging the ring. Took alot of trys haha
That's my number one saw use it ,everyday go to....ibhave felling kit suspension and bark box with west coast filter..I would love it ported ..it's best saw in my opinion..I heard they have sloppy pistons from Donnie walker
@@richardflagg3084 yea the first one I bought during virus last year it leaked out of crank Case by muffler side .before I made a cutt.BUT second third work great ..I still have new 500i .no gas in her to her ported I tried your email it wouldn't work
That needs to be there to support the piston skirt at bottom of the stroke. It may be fine to remove it, but that's an expensive maybe it there is a problem.
I don't know how many teams of engineers they used to design the 441, but I think they all got their parts included into the build. I did a video several months ago and made a point to show how many parts had to come off just to pull the cylinder. Had a whole bench full of parts 🤣🤣
@@richardflagg3084 I’m not a Stihl guy but a local asked to me work it over for him. If I’d of known how big of a cluster fuck it was I probably wouldn’t of done it. And people think 562’s are hard to work on, they are a piece of cake compared to that dam thing! It did run well when I got done though at least
There was a time when they were offered with a traditional carb/ non-MTronic. Part number 1142 120 0600. If I were to try it and couldn't find one of those I'd try an RWJ off a 372 Xtorq or a WJ off a 660 but I'm not sure that would would work even it you swapped the butterfly shafts. I cant think of another Zama carb with a venturi that size.
In regard to Schaeffer oil, has anyone tried their 9046 2-Cycle Outdoor Power Equipment Oil? I notice that it meets the JASO requirements and has a higher flash point of 242 F compared to 7000 TC-W3. Viscosity looks almost the same. But! The cost from their website is $279.45 for a 12 quart case whereas the 7000 is $138.83 for a 12 quart case😮. I paid $7.49 a quart at a local auto parts store last month for the 7000 so I will check locally if this 9046 is available to try. Nice build BTW!
@@Sethhaun78 I typically only do work locally. It's easy to get overwhelmed and lose quality. I've seen it all too often. "saw builder" can be a four letter word
