There is a little flat spot just behind the inner dog on the case. It is stamped into there. It likely needs to be wiped off of the sawdust and crud that has accumulated though.

Properly porting a saw will give a large power boost. That wasn't the issue discussed in this thread however. The issue discussed was whether polishing the ports had any real benefit to the power output, and whther removing minor casting flaws would give any noticeable gains. Both will...

Not enough to make up for the power difference. Without measuring the bore and stroke, we are still just guessing, but no faller here in BC is going to drop from 100cc down to 80cc, for a few ounces of weight saved.

While there is likely somewhere you can recycle it, dumping a gallon or two into your truck at a time will not hurt it. The amount of oil from a gallon of 2 stroke mix is miniscule when mixed into 30 gallons of fuel. For the amount of cutting you intend to use the saw for, a gallon or two of...

Judging by the full wrap, I would guess you are either from BC, or the saw originated here. That makes it a good bet that it is a 2100, as they are a very common older falling saw. Why carry the same weight in a 480 or 285, when you could have the higher power of a 2100?

The felling "techniques" (or lack thereof) are poor at best. I would find a better, safer place to learn how to fell trees from. The methods shown in there show a serious lack of knowledge of proper felling techniques and pose a serious risk to the health of the operator if he follows them and...

If you search the site (use advanced search, it works better) there are good instructions on how to clean up saw cylinders, if you aren't familiar from your other 2 stroke toys.

The cylinders are Nikasil'ed, so they cannot be bored, at least not without replating and fitting an oversized piston. The cost for a replate is ~$200, which is not very practical for most people to justify. Either find a used cylinder, clean up the one you have if you can, bite the bullet...

Many of Husqvarna's manuals are available on their website. Sometimes you have to go to one other than the US one, but they are available online, through the UK Husky site I believe.

That's some interesting perception there, that a 2171 somehow is faster or stronger than a 372. The engines are identical, built on the same line, then painted in different colours and wrapped in different plastic. If an actual dyno or a stopwatch with the same bar/chain in the same wood was...

Just to clarify on Diesel JD's post, round chisel and square chisel both have square working (outer) corners, it is the inside corner that differes, based upon filing/grinding style. Square chisel refers to one filed/ground with a square chisel file or wheel, instead of a round one. Round...

You can send them all to France, we don't want or need them here in Canada. We have too many already that we need to get rid of.:bang:

Most of the arguments stem from oversized boilers being underutilized, causing them to smoulder and make smoke, thus polluting the local air quality and pissing off the neighbours. Properly sized (most current models are too large for most houses), and thus burning efficiently, they are not...

Most of the western part of North America is predominantly conifers. Very few broadleaved (hardwood) species, with the main ones being aspen, birch, arbutus (madrone), some oak, and smaller amounts of others like willow etc. While individual specimens of these may get quite large, they are...

Essentially by doming the piston top, you can push it further into the combustion chamber while retaining acceptable squish than with a flat top piston. That's why compression increases, because you can squeeze the piston and chamber closer together.

Well you could get 2 saws for the price, but about the best you're going to do is to get a pair of 290's for that. For pro saws, you could get one medium size one, or 1.5 small ones for that. ( A 260 is ~$600 Cdn, a 361 is ~$800 Cdn, the 290's are ~$500 Cdn)

I know someone who bought a house that the guy had done that to the deck on it during the divorce, but not the whole house. He would have been there a while though as it is a large log house.

Does that include having the cases split? The serial number is also stamped inside the crankcases.

Either your dealer is on crack, or it is a regional distribution thing. The MS 440 Arctic is readily available here.

The only diff is one has had the "Magnum" sticker peeled off the top cover. I believe all MS440's are listed as Magnums, so the only way to get one that doesn't say it on top, is to peel it.
