441rcm

[longbowch]

So about two weeks ago my 440 was stolen out of the back of my truck so I went and ordered a replacement. 441rcm. I ran a couple tanks of fuel through it this week mostly noodling and I am very impressed to say the least. It is a little heavy but I think more power than the 440. What I am most impressed with is the smoothness. And it starts 1 or 2 pulls every time.

If it's not ported, it's a dog! I would NEVER trade my 044 for a 441!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about your 440, hopefully it will be recovered, but I am glad you are enjoying your 441. I liked the one I had, but it was not M-Tronic and I hear the M-Tronic ones are stronger. I have heard a lot of people say they are smoother. I notice a difference when the saws are at idle, but not when they are in the wood. Maybe it is just me. Hated the way my old Homelites vibrated, on cold days my hands would still shake after I put the saw down.

Thanks, I don't think I'll miss the 440 between the power and smoothness!

Love my 441. It was a nice saw stock
But ported? It's an animal! ! !

Congrats on your purchase. But sorry to hear about the theft of the 440
That sucks. I am still looking for a very nice MS 440, for my collection.

Maybe I should get my name on the list.

I'm a big fan of mine. Seems to be the saw I keep grabbing first these days...

I know I keep saying it but they sure are smooth!

 

[zogger]

Nice! yep, smoooooooth and self tuning is great!

 

[longbowch]

Just to update, I put a couple more tanks through the 441rcm. Keeps getting better

 

[MustangMike]

Nice, M-Tronic seems to do that. My 362 kept improving for at least 5-6 tanks.

I have a ported non m tronic 441 and ran it side by side with mastermachs ported 441c and there was no difference power wise, other than the m tronic is a smoother saw.

 

[MustangMike]

Sometimes Randy says he can get even more power from a non M-Tronic saw because he can advance the timing more, but the M-Tronic will insulate it from user error in tuning.

Great saw, sweet deal!
