I'm not a Stihl guy, as you might have guessed, but the 044/066's grow on you, and frankly I wouldn't mind getting one to restore

By the SN, is it a 10 or 12mm saw?
I've read that early 12's have the slant fins as well.
What's the difference in value of a clean 10mm vs. 12mm?

There were slanted fin KS and Mahle. It is my understanding the earliest saws had KS jugs and supposedly had better factory porting. I'm not sure when they switched from KS to Mahle. From what I've seen, the slant fin jug saws can sell for $100 more than a comparable straight fin jug saw. Here's one I'm redoing...

this one is a slant fin ks 115 with an elasto start handle.definately a 10mm saw.biggest problem is some sort of jb weld lookin stuff holdin oil in the flywheel case side.no leak but still sucks that a nice saw has goop on it.

so far as far as build the 044 has much better build quality that the 066.jmho.i got to hate the 066 of course they were ex logging saws.

Might have to swap leads though.
Just unscrew the lead from the 044 coil and put it on the 034/036 coil
I think that must be a popular coil. I believe my 034s has the same coil as an 029/039 also

I think 044's are the easiest saw I've ever worked on
You've never worked on a 372?

036's have been the easiest to me.

Good one...No, but they are probably easier huh? Since all the bolts just fall out?
