Hi all I have a stripped thread (m5x0.8) in my 044 case that holds the jug down (046 jug) Should I M5x0.8 helicoil M5x0.8 time sert Tap to m6 as per 046? Going for the least invasive option just incase it let’s go again and I ca. have a second crack at it . Does anyone know what the 046 thread...

Hi all Reset the carb keeping the low jet on the lean side and the saw performs It was over rich in the cut due to the low jet being wound out too far. Not sure if anything has changed as a lot does not add up 1 initially after rebuild I had to set the low two turns out to get it to rev up, I...

Pic of the carb adaptor ^^^^^

Thanks for all the help guys I feel it’s time to jot all this down and go cut some wood. I’ll have a go at resetting the carb and 20” bar and chain.

Would 0.035 squish be the cause of the problem. I’ve never played with squish but would 0.01 difference make it a crap saw. For my interest how do you guys lower the jug, Emry and figure 8’s on a piece of glass?

It’s the Stihl carb adaptor, it swaps with the carb and has a barb that goes down the impulse line.

For ease could I just not do as I already do and put it under water?

Yeah perhaps the low jet is bogging the saw, I will try leaning it out. I’ll try it sideways upsidown and see what it does. Pressure vac test is done with carb adaptor to Mity vac, exhaust blocked, held 10psi under pressure and vaccuum. Decomp is plugged I will try a shorter bar and chain, I...

I will try another bar and chain, will drop it from 25” to 20”

Spark arrestor is clean One thing that was weird to me was that when I originally set the walbro to 1 1/4 turns out on the L and 1 out on the H the saw would idle but not rev up I ended up turning the L jet out a bit more until it rev’d up happily When I put the 44 zama carb on I just swapped...

Squish is about .035 with base gasket

Only marking I can see without pulling the jug

Don’t think so mate the revs of the motor drop in the cut and won’t pick back up unless you lift it out of the cut.

Hole in impulse line, clutch side crank seal leaking. All rectified, new seals impulse line and passes pressure vac test

I have some solder, have a flat out day ahead of me at this stage. Will get onto it when time permits. Thanks all

Yes it is the walbro carb. No I have never touched squish band height or measured it.

I will try to get some photos of the jug later or tomorrow. Yes I am running a base gasket, h jet is a turn out, low is 1 3/4 out as it would not Rev up at 1 1/4, with the 44 Carb installed it still lacks balls. I have not opened the muffler up. I am going to pull the muffler abs check spark...

Yes mate oem 046, yeah it’s not new but had enough life left to do the build

Hi all I bought a 44 with a toasted top end. Mate sold me a second hand 46 genuine slug and jug. Assembled saw and has less power than my 44. When you are in the cut the saw looses revs and you have to lift the saw up a bit to get the revs up then drop it back in, repeat repeat, it should power...
