Hello to all.
I need a little bit o’ help for a project I want to start in the next coming months. I’ve got three Stihl 041 AV chainsaws, one of them is a 041 super, which I like a whole lot. It reminds me a lot of a white and orange Poulan 245a with a chain brake! Lol!
Anyway, one of my 041AV saws is in close to new condition and I would like to convert that one to a super. I have already bought the cylinder and it’s going to ship here in a few days. I’m getting started ordering the parts I’ll need.
If all my 041 saws are electronic ignition, which I believe they are, what parts will I need besides the piston, cylinder, and longer crank case studs? Would the same muffler and carb work or do those need changing?
I read somebody on this site converted to a super by only swapping the piston and cylinder and nothing else. But I don’t know if it would run at its best if that were true, and I don’t want to damage my saws with unneeded shortcuts.
Could someone more learned give me a list of the needed parts on the electronic ignition conversion?
And could you give me a list of everything needed if I dive into it and it’s points?
I have not gone into those saws very deep to see what’s all in them yet but the covers say they are all electronic ignition. But for all I know, they could be FrankenSaws and have different parts put in them from people who owned them before me.
I am not going to do the work by myself, I’m going to do the job with some help from my small engine mechanic. Just trying to get started on all the parts needed to save him some hassle.
Thank you all.
