    I bought back my father Stihl 044 back that he sold to a friend 20 years ago. For $250 USD so he could buy his MS440. I just was able to buy back the 044 for the same price plus he threw in a 25" bar with it. It runs beautifully and still has machining marks for the factory of the piston. She is a good ripping saw. Love the 044 best saw ever made. Oh forgot to say it is a 044 arctic model

    I have a highway 268 popup in my 50mm g372xp. Started with 3 base gaskets, .022" squish. 155 exhaust duration, 160 intake. Took it back apart about a month ago, made base gaskets, set squish at .014". Now have 195 psi compression. Saw is much stronger than stock. The big bore kits, they increased the bore size without increasing the transfer port area. That's the reason the 50mm bore makes more hp than the 52 mm bore.

    I haven't had any problems with 10%ethanol fuel in many years. Store it in a sealed container aka one with a valve. It also sits in my saws, trimmers,blower. The carb kits and fuel lines have been improved to deal with 10% ethanol for many years now. I think the purge bulbs still fail a little more often on my equipment that has them, but they are a dime a dozen. A lot cheaper than ethanol free gasoline. The standard pump gas gets turned over much more often than the ethanol free so it is much fresher also.
