Also very original..... but used alot! Stopped by to see if my friend had anything saw related and gave me this for the right price of 0$ .
Funny enough the large hole in the top cover made it easy to dump a cap of gas in the air cleaner and it ofcourse ran for a minute! Has saw holding compression to !20200701_192347.jpg20200701_192403.jpg20200701_192353.jpg20200701_192413.jpg

I should have taken before pictures, but was too excited to spiff it up. This was listed in the local CL ads. It stated the pull cord was pulled out and he wasn't sure of the condition of the saw. I responded. It was literally 4 blocks from my house and it was free. I rethreaded the pull cord. I also found it had been run with the brake on and toasted the clutch bearing and the clutch springs were sprung. $15 to replace those and some scotch bright to the bar, I am good to go. The clutch seal checks out good for now. I pulled the muffler and the piston looks great.Resized_20200722_194238.jpegResized_20200722_194406.jpegResized_20200722_194329.jpeg
 
Hi guys,

I think I might just come close to winning the you suck.

So a customer comes into my Auto shop and I noticed while selling him some parts for his Landcruiser that he had an arborist business, so I asked him if he has any old saws, even if broken he would like to sell. He told me that he had a old MS441 Magnum that he purchased about 12mths ago from a Chainsaw/Arborist training school for $950 aussie dollars and that it now wasn't working. I asked him what was wrong and his response was " not sure but the local Stihl dealer said it was too expensive to fix". He wanted to give me the saw for free, but I insisted i would prefer to pay something for it, so we came to a $50 deal.

Expecting it to have a burnt out piston or something terminal i was just happy to have it for parts. But once I got it home, I decided to have a look and literally all I did was clean the air cleaner add some fuel and it ran and it ran very well. Only thing I have noticed since chopping a couple of trees down as the lack of full throttle. Which I might of found the issue. But I will post a question shortly in the forum for some close up photo's of the linkage setup on a MS441.

Cheers

Justin

My you suck contribution today is a Pioneer Super 6-20 and a IEL HM Pioneer for $20!
Pioneer Super 6-20 has spark and compression so it won't take long.
No idea about the IEL HM, she sorta threw it in on my way out the door.
