Playin with 044 #2

[Moparmyway]

Thats one way to get extra oil on the chain

Yet another plus for 32:1
More along the lines of all of my saws having extremely large single openings, and they all idle, run, and spool up just fine

me too. maybe i can try talk mike into helping me troll you over a beer. i feel he'll need to be convinced it's worth it in person. yer a hard one to troll cause nothing bothers you. i think it's cause your skin is so thick being a monkey and all. alot thicker then a human it seems.

See......I don't drink alcohol. (anymore)

And the reason I'm hard to troll is all the jail time I've done. (a lot was alcohol related)

It pays to be able to roll with it in there. (and I was king of the trolls)

The 044 mufflers do not have baffles in them, and these are the old ones with the larger 5/8 hole already there. They like the dp covers also, but when I tried to open it up more than that the idle & throttle response suffered, and I was unable to adjust it out with the tune. So I put the modified dp cover on the 046, and it likes it!

I don't have the tools to port the cylinder.

I think I will live with the 33/1000 squish. W/O CR, I don't want to make it harder to start.

Adjusting the timing seems to make a nice difference on the 044. When the 046 was stock, it did not seem to make any difference. I think that is because the older 044 jugs are ported more aggressively from the factory, and the 046 needed to be ported to take advantage of the timing advance. That is my best guess.

Without porting tools you can still polish the ex port and match it to the muffler. Also clean up any casting irregularities in the transfers and intake.

I've ran mikes 044. It runs really good. I would take it over any other non ported 70cc saw. Some saws stock for stock just run and this is one of them. See you in the spring at the upstate gtg.

Randy, it would be great to meet you also. Whenever you can take the time to make it up here just say so. Maybe correspond it with a GTG, and then there is West Point, the Roosevelt Mansion, Vanderbilt Mansion, etc, etc.

Josh, looking forward to seeing you and your saws at GTG also.

I wanted to get another opinion of how 044 #2 was running so I invited my next door neighbor to give it a try. He has both my old 441 and a 10 mm 044. I have a 32" round of Silver Maple I was using as a splitting block. Just tilted on the side and did a few test cuts. He said it felt really strong. Then I fired up the Smittybilt 046 and told him to give it a try. A smile came over his face and he looked up at me and said "Holy S***, this thing really cuts". Ported saws are nice to have!

you suck!!!

 

[ash man]

ttt. I love the Shane and mike morning show. Throw in some Tennessee pie and what more can you ask for?

 

[MustangMike]

Any progress on your 562? I just noticed, it is not in your sig????

 

[ash man]

Mike if ur talking to me I've never had a 562. Have a 2260(almost same difference) that is down at Terry l now.

 

[MustangMike]

Sorry about that, my mistake. Good luck with it.

 

[ash man]

Thanks Mike. Terry Landrum is a top notch guy and I'm sure he will get to the bottom of it.

Is Vanderbilt Mansion another one of George Washington Vanderbilt II homes?

I've toured The Biltmore House in Asheville, NC several times.....

 

[MustangMike]

I really don't know, but it is a National Park right next to the Roosevelt Mansion.
