Stihl's are known for bad air filtration. Fine dust particulate gets in and wreaks havoc. First thing I did to my metal tag 044 was bottom end bearings, meteor piston, work saw ported the original KS jug and slapped a MAXFLOW on it. BOOOM!!! She's back!
What I found out is that running Sthill synthetic oil is that the oil starts to degrade and it starts when the oil is only 48 hrs old. I mix 1gallon at a time and add regular 2cycle oil some. Burnt up a 440 by using old gas.
Soon as the snow leaves I should see saws popping up for sale again . I found 2 I'd like but gotta see if they can do better on price.. a poulan 3400.. And a husky 365..but has 371k recoil..so not sure the story on it.
Its the same way here. Not many saws for sale in winter. So I try and gather projects during the summer and that way I have a sgood supply for winter. I love a 365 husky. Ported they are very very strong..
Love to no the numbers on your port job on that 440. So mayby i could get mine to run out like that

Put a ported 272 topend on that j-red! I promise you’ll love it! Nice collection! Got to find me a Sachs! Stay safe buddy thanks!👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I don't have a 272 top end but I have a 266 top end and piston..may port that and install it on the 630.

Like your channel. Just subbed
I heard you commented on buckin channel that you started a channel
Cool I have a lot of the saws you have
👍
Thanks for coming over! I appreciate the support!!!
@@tinmanssaws 👍
I'm a saw lover myself. The older the better.
I love the older saws, they are so simple and reliable.
Oh man I just scored a 266 like that for a hundred dollars off a firewood order. Be a nice stable mate to my 288 I think
Where did you get the tank for the 044?
That one is a farmertec
Have you ever ported an 028? Is it worth it?
Hey Brett, I've never ported one of those but I have seen them ported and they run strong after.
@@tinmanssaws ok thank you for the reply.
