    stihl 044 died

    No, another member(stihl 041s) sold me a OEM p/c in really nice condition. No marks at all in the cylinder with factory hone marks, and the piston is just as good. I got the seal in today and the impulse hose should be in tomorrow, so I'll hopefully have it all back together tomorrow and fire...

    stihl 044 died

    I just realized what happened. When it quit the seal had gone it. I could get it to run but I couldn't keep it running. Then the next part is my fault. I didn't recognize a seal leak and so I tuned it to run(which was lean) and then I ended up scoring and seizing it. I also had the shop...

    stihl 044 died

    Unfortunately I wasn't the one running the saw when it died. I was running a load of brush in the truck to be dumped and my brother was running the saw. We were switching off running the brush to be dumped and it happened to be my turn to dump when it died. I don't know what it sounded like...

    stihl 044 died

    Would a bad flywheel seal or clutch seal cause this? Or bad impulse hose? Thanks. Evan

    stihl 044 died

    My tank vent leaks gas? Is that bad? I know the answer is yes but I mean is it disaster to be running the saw with it? Could that be the problem? Thanks. Evan

    stihl 044 died

    O and does anybody have recommendations for a good tach? Is the one Baileys sells good? SenDEC STS-5000 Shop Tachometer for $70? Thanks Evan

    stihl 044 died

    A shop tuned it for me but that was about year ago and it was probably off. Could a dirty air filter cause it? Once it stopped the first time I check the air filter and it was pretty dirty. I'll probably get a tach this time and tune it myself.

    stihl 044 died

    I took the muffler off and it turns out the exhaust side is scored. I have no idea how this happened since I had a shop tune it for me and ive been running 50:1 stihl fully synthetic. I've used seafoam on occasion but this tank had none in it. So I suppose I have to rebuild it now.

    stihl 044 died

    stihl 044 died

    I was running my 044 yesterday and it faltered and died on me. I can start it and it will run for about 10-15 seconds but I can't rev it up and it will die. It died after about hour and a half to two hours of cutting. The impulse is still connected, the fuel line and filter were new last year...

    Alittle Stihl vacation

    I thought you said all stihl did was put a cat in a glass. Which is it that stihl did, cat in glass or cat in muffler? And what about all those Husky's with the cat mufflers? Evan

    Ok guess I'll stay away from it then. The one I was looking at looked beat to piss but I didn't know if they were more powerful or something but since they aren't I'll pass on it. Evan
