Stihlsky 044 xpg

[windthrown]

I like the custom convertible top cover look. Everyone will want one!

262, 372 & 044, 3 great saws! Your talent is being wasted though. I think the gov't could use you to save Obamacare.

Maybe you guys are right... This is a stupid Idea... I still wanna try though... If it doesnt work I will just use the carb with the 262 cylinder
Or maybe you could point out wich cylinders share the same stroke...?

 

[windthrown]

No no no, not stupid. Insanely creative. Highly amusing. Well worth the effort. I mean, it must have a lot of Husky and Stihl guys just crawling. Which is the way that great things are invented. Well outside the box. I would never have thunk it myself. Which is why I like it.

The natural 34mm stroke top end to try is the 272xp one. It has a 34mm stroke and a 52mm bore, for 72.2cc.

I would be cool with that 272 top end but I'm pretty sure it`s to big in the base to make a fit...

I suspect you are right, but at least I would have looked closer into it. Likely a stroke reduced 044 top end will not do much for a 262xp, considering the obvious porting issues.

 

[Grqnbech]

We want know on till we try will we... But sure if I had both top ends I proberly would never had thought about putting a stihl top on a husky saw

If you want to stay with the stihl hybrid theme, then 038 mag at 52x34 or 361 at 47x34 and quad port.

The main issue is the stroke the top end is designed for, not the brand.

Surely, if they can be fitted.

However, I would like to see how it performs with an original 262xp top end (preferably the early KS one without decomp), and the 372xp carb.

If it is proven that the HD-12 carb can be fitted on the 262xp, I assume a lot of people will be interested!

 

[Grqnbech]

I just compared the 262 jug and the 044 jug... The port timing is pretty much the same.... I still believe that this will work... So the build must go on....

If I succeed in doing this we will have to call it "The crazy dane mod"

 

[Mastermind]

I say carry on.

 

[Grqnbech]

I say carry on.

Thank you..... I will

Yes it looks pretty cool... But Im afraid I have to close the hole to force the cold air through the fins instead of blowing straight up...

 

[parrisw]

Shouldn't this belong in the WTF Thread? LOL

 

[Grqnbech]

So had a little spare time today... Got the piston and cylinder bolted on and started modifying the muffler

 

[SawTroll]

Did you check the squish?

 

[Grqnbech]

Yes I did... I toke about 1 mm of the base to make it perfect
