    Stihl 441 CM won’t start when hot.

    It is a newer 441. Bought in 2018. I will need to check on the solenoid color. I live in the southwest Sierra mountains and cut anywhere from 2500’ of elevation up to 7500 - 8000’ which is why MT appealed to me.

    Stihl 441 CM won’t start when hot.

    I would be shocked if it was the cylinder. I’ve taken extremely good care of it, and power / compression is good. Maybe the solenoid. I’m working in high temp and high altitude 85 - 110 and 5,500’+ . I did remove the fuel cap and held full throttle. After removing the cap I can get it to pop...

    50cc Saw questions

    Well, I ordered the coil and carb. Also removed the base gasket this morning. One thing I have to say about this saw is how easy it is to work on! I’ve replaced top ends on a Stihl 66, and 26, and the design of this echo is really well thought out. I’m impressed.

    50cc Saw questions

    I’ve never ported a cylinder, and don’t really want to attempt it without practice. I do think I’ll do the base gasket delete and swap the carb / coil, which I’ve tracked down OEM parts for. With how cheap 490s are new it seems like it would be more budget friendly to mod it, then to sell it and...

    50cc Saw questions

    I’ve been curious about the actual differences between the 490 and 501 (other than the obvious plastic handle) I’ve looked around but haven’t found any specs to compare.

    I like the weight and balance of the echo... just wanting more juice out of it.

    50cc Saw questions

    no need to raise the exhaust port with the base gasket delete? What’s the difference with the coil and carb?

    50cc Saw questions

    I have an echo 490 as my 50cc saw. It’s not always been this way but seems these days and likely for the foreseeable future I’ll be using the small saw more than the bigger saws. I’ve got it muffler modded, and it tuned properly, but I’ve been craving more power. Are there simple mods I can do...

    Stihl 441 oil leak... is this an issue?

    I’ve been storing my saws as photographed. Been doing it for several months no problem. Just noticed this morning the 441 is leaking oil. Appears to be coming out of the spilt in the case. How much of a Problem is this? Will it cause an air leak? Or should I just stop storing it this way and not...
