What oil you run? Run Amsoil 40:1 with Startron!
Have any latest production you want to sell?
My old Orange Top 44 in Ohio ran 14,800 for ten years! Ran Golden Spectro in it! Just finally found one. Been looking for 35 years! But it doesn't run like my old one! Little disappointed tell yah the truth. If I didn't have your saw would probably be bummin'! LOL

I find the oil threads a little silly and perplexing really, the Stihl reg mix oil at 40-1 has run my own saws since 1990 when I got my first 044. There may be better oil out there but my oldest 044 now has surpassed 3000 hours with just one rebuild around 2000 hrs with no oil related issues, combustion chamber stays clean if the engine is tuned properly and no noticeable wear on any parts other than the piston and rings, to be expected. I don`t believe in running the synthetics in my own saws as they never let the saw reach its full potential, always debatable but just my own findings. I havn`t released any of my latest ported parts as yet mostly due to the extent of the work needed and the cylinder requiring the use of Devcon to re seal the exterior of the transfers and inside to re direct the incoming flow. I hope it all stays in place and not break free, so far my own saw is holding up well, it sees 15.500 daily.

Jerry you're too much! You sound like my father and his Machinist Buddy Chester Knapp building cars when I was young up the barn!!
!5,500 is Stupendous for a working saw! Keep at it!! You're the Man!!!
Good Luck with this storm! Only high winds left.....gusts near 50!
