Show me your minty 044s

[Adirondackstihl]

Just curious what you're paying for powder coating and what is used for the color. There's a guy near me that does smaller jobs like that, but I've never priced his work. Have a set of 066 cases I'd like to get done while it's (still:bang apart.

If I had to choose a color, I would choose RAL9003


Check out Tiger Drylac powders. They have a CFC (Chrome Free Coating). Totally looks like chrome!!!

I've never seen that before. Pretty cool!

I'm not sure on the color, but it's $15-$20/part.

Doesn't seem too awful bad. Does that include bead blasting as well?

 

[blsnelling]

Yes it does. They're also phosphate dipped before coating to promote adhesion.

Sounds pretty reasonable. So are ya going with the Chrome?:jester::

See that 10mm jug on eBay?

iv'e been eyeballing it ,just hit the button :msp_thumbsup:

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

That is correct. Unfortunately, the jug is no good. One of the transfer bridges is broken out. Oddly enough, the piston is good with the lines still all the way around it.

Just cut the bridge out, and run it.

I did that on an 064 cylinder,..it lost a lot of snap. It didn`t seem to hurt the WOT much.

running my stock 440 last weekend ,then the 10mm saw ,the 440 lacks lot of tourque over the older one ,half tempted to try slipping a 10mm jug on that saw ,see if makes a difference ,has anyone tested same jug with 10 and 12mm crank ,see if the rod weight makes any difference ?

well i put a angle fin 10mm jug on a 440 ,it still doesn't sound as angry or have the balls of the 10mm saw i have ,it does sound better than the 440 jug but not like the 10mm saw ,has anyone done any testing on this yet ? does anyone know if are there any different versions of the angled fin jugs ?,they both have the early 10mm muffler with dual port cover ,the 440 does have a limiter cap type carb ,the 044 has reg screws with the filter snorkle for the filter like a 440 has

I did the same on a 066, and found similar.

S'up Brad......hows the 10mm project going?

 

[blsnelling]

After much delay, I finally have a "new" 044. I ended up landing a NOS crankcase!!! I thought it was a 10mm case, but turned out to be a 12mm. That just meant no mods to fit the 12mm crank that was going in it anyway. I got it all put together tonight with new bearings, seals, gaskets, and a Meteor piston. It's wearing an early 10mm cylinder with the angled fins. I had to rob a few small parts from my MS440 to finish it up. I bought a new OEM 1/2 wrap handle for it, but it's the wrong handle. So, I borrowed the 3/4 wrap for the time being. The tank and plastic are from a early 10mm 044. The recoil is new, but I fitted it with a new metal plate. She idles great, has fantastic throttle response, and revs out nicely. Sorry, but no vid tonight.

 

[blsnelling]

I'm actually putting a NOS tank/handle on this saw. It'll still be getting a new 1/2 wrap handle. And, I might replace the 25" B&C with a 20". I'm setting this one up light. It's not going to see a lot of heavy use.

WOWSERS! :msp_wub: That's Hawt!

I had to remove the B&C and dawgs late last night. I got rather uncomfortable in the middle of the night:msp_scared::msp_biggrin:

She's still sleeping. I didn't bother her this morning. Hopefully she's potty trained already.
