I was warned by people on the forums the chain brake handle is way off. Expected it but have not yet figured out the fix. Others told me the problem had been remedied. Also was warned about the compression release. I built 12 of these things for others and kept 3 for myself and warned the guys I built them for to replace the compression release because the knob falls off and the valve falls in the cylinder trashing it. When I took it off, sure enough, the comp valve can be pushed all the way through and certainly down far enough to hit a piston. I do not think the paper cylinder gasket crush was off issue because I had damaged the gasket and purchased a stihl one to replace it. Everything was clean on one saw but I did have one saw that had aluminum dust all over it and ran all the parts through the extra dishwasher (which fades the crap out of paint on fake or real stihl if you use dishwasher soap but cleans everything well). All the carbs on the 440 and 460 kits suck. The choke sticks open or sticks closed. Nothing I have been able to do keeps them from sticking other than honing the bore through the venturie a little bigger. Almost every chinese carb I have found, the lever that rests against the idle screw positioned wrong on the shaft and the idle cannot be adjusted. I used to order the bearings in sleeves of 10 each for the saws but were gritty as stated and no-longer do that. Some issues like plastic fitting to match the compression release button are better but on the big saws fuel tanks still seap a little. Fuel and oil caps have been improved. Stihl finally improved their caps too. I had hell with stihl caps. This summer the dealer showed me 4 revisions on the Stihl caps and I think they finally got that right. I've not broken one, had them twist out of place or had to pry one out of the bore since the latest cap and o-ring version. The flywheel nut on the 440 and 460 kits is not a flanged nut and I think it should be tossed and replaced with a real flanged on. I was not going to build any kit saws but I had requests and a challenge to do so, so I did after a guy talked me into selling him the other eight 044's I rebuilt. I just cannot get used saws needing work here. A non running piece of junk 044 brings $250 -$275 as everyone knows parts are available and they are easy to rebuild. Same with the 066. Takes longer to tear down an old saw, clean it and put it together. Kit takes 2 1/2 hours but if done twice? I am doubting. This saw that crapped out at full throttle in the cut ran awesome. I finished the tree with the MS200 and it was a downer compared. Not complaining about the 200. It has been my favorite little saw for 10 years. Thought I would post this so ppl had an idea what to expect. They cylinders have been improved. Seem a harder material than the older kits. Castings seem more complete. No noticed pits in castings. I will try to post a picture of a casting pit in the bore on a saw I repaired if I can get the camera to focus inside it. Shipping has been about 12 days but if something is missing or a defective part, it takes 2 months of emails to get farmtech to finally send a part. VERY frustrating. Individual parts may come in 2 weeks, may come in 8 weeks. That is frustrating too but is the blasted dealers had inventory which they USED to have, I would probably go to the dealer. Since the dealer wait is 2 weeks for parts, why buy from them when you can buy for 1/6th the price and maybe get it 2 days earlier?
