What Stihl Do I Have???

[wrencher1547]

I recently purchased a stihl chainsaw w/ serial number x148656357
There are no decals remaining on the saw and I was wondering if anyone knows
what it is.

Maybe a stihl dealer can decipher the serial #, but a picture or a visual description would probably get you your answer also.

Hmmm... you bought a saw but don't know what it is?

Hey.. want some more saws??


It's a 044, sold on 6/1/2001.

Looking at who it was registered to, I would say it is well broken in.

but not listed as stolen, yet..

That may very well be the reason why its hard to visually decipher the model.

We'll have to watch Ebay tonght

but not listed as stolen, yet..

Maybe it will be listed tonight as a 044 with a Buy it Now of like $300 with free shipping. Gets it out of there pretty quick...

Thanks for all of the help, and yes, the saw is for sure "used".

Is 125psi of compression ok??

 

[mini kahuna]

125 is not good,may get by with a piston and ring set,maybe just run it some more but at 125 psi she's getting tired.

For an 044, 125 is basically dead, but check your compression tester...
