I would make a thread in chainsaw..... other people do it all the time when they are in a bind. I'm sure a few of the cops will remind you of the swap meet thread though..... who cares.

Looks like LP might have a line on something for me. If not, maybe I'll take that advice. I'll tell the mods you said it was OK.
I don't think the mods would care.... its the wannabe mods that will getcha. You have helped tons of us here with parts....

I bought my 044 new in 1996 and I still get goose bumps when I start that thing.

Hey shorty it's cause they'll run long enough for something to go wrong once in a while. You can't get yours to run long enough to make um leak. That is unless like Pioneerguy said I use it for a wheel chock like I did the other time. It leaked then didn't it.
2K it's funny everytime we go out to cut when we come back he cleans up my saws and puts um on the rack. Then he brings them orange things in and starts telling me what all is wrong with um that needs to be fixed. It NEVER fails.
Just ported a Mahle 460 cylinder tonight. I hope to drop it on the 440 tomorow

+1 for me here. I've had mine a while and when I need that "grunt" I reach for it. There are bigger saws indeed, but pound for pound I'm sold on it. Put me on the same truck with the possums.

I've got a 440 with a 460 top end on the bench and a meteor piston ordered. This is only my 2nd saw that I've worked on. Would you care to reveal what the easy gains are on this setup? It came with a spare 440 cyl., the witness marks on that cyl. look like there isn't a lot of room to widen the ports on this model.
These Stihl cylinders sure look a lot different than the 79cc Dolmar set up.
Have you ever done work on just a P/C without having the saw? Just curious what a mild hop up might entail.
Check my old posts. I've posted in detail exactly what you need to do, including pictures. There are lots of others as well.
BTW, I just to the 4460/460 back together. She's another screamer. I could tune it as high as 16,000 for cookie cutting. Fortunately, this one didn't grenade

I got to make a few cuts with Terry's 044 work saw today at the GTG, it sure made me grin. I also got my mitts on a couple of 066s. I had a blast. Joat had his 084 with pipe, what a saw...:jawdrop:

I voted for the one that should say no cause the dolmar 7900 is better
