    I think i’d probly replace the crank..i’d be afraid the bearing in the crank under the connecting rod was damaged

    Carb kit did the trick..works like a champ..runs great. One question the bottom carb adjustment. What is it? Is it to set the fuel flow to richer or leaner? That is what it seemed to do when i adjusted it

    Got new spacer bushing. Greased it up greased shaft put it on, put washer and clutch on...and a tiniest bit of pressure loss...i took clutch off, set saw level, pressed down on spacer with finger...and put soapy water. And i have these tiny little air bubbles coming out of that bushing between...

    Holy ****...i just found it....look at this ****..reason it blew up too i bet... that is the spacer up close...almost impossible to see.. you can see where the oring that was on this spacer wore out completely...also why when i tightened clutch down it leaked, because it made the crack spread

    Rebuilding stihl 044

    Well i think i found the issue..if i tighten the clutch down with the case under pressure, you can hear the pressure escape....then with clutch tight it wont hold pressure....that is with grease.....i dont know what to do....also it wasnt red loctite..it was anaerobic sealer im thinking about...

    Rebuilding stihl 044

    I replaced the impulse line....and then when i had the leak...i checked just the impules line itself since that is where im injecting pressure and vacuum from.. By the way i found a really great way to make sealers for the carb and exhaust ports..when vacuum testing.....i had a sheet of 5/15...
