Mastermind Meets The MS441C-M

[paccity]

thanks for the eye candy. keep on keepin on.

 

[Mastermind]

Extra long hemostats are great for hooking up the impulse line.....



And then to put the rear AV back together.







Don't forget the cable wiper.





And now the bolts for the jug, and the carb box.





Another little trick....

 

[Mastermind]

On strato engines, intake side of the cylinder...why is there soooo much mating surface?

There are three induction passages......that takes some real estate.

 

[Mastermind]

One wire goes here.....and can be tricky to line everything up.







In this spot there is a stud for the black wire from the coil.

 

[Mastermind]

Getting closer.....





I like using hand tools to tighten everything up.....you just know when It just feels right.









Note the routing of the wires.



Setting the gap. This card is .010....and yes, they do vary.

 

[Mastermind]

This is one reason I like the 441 better than most Stihl saws. It has this air injection system that keeps the filter very clean......yeah like a Husky.

Nice work and Photos,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,as always.

I for one KNEW you would be back!


We is all frustrated, but the fact remains if you google sumthin about chainsaws, it will lead you here eh?

 

[Mastermind]

Now for installing the carb, and running the wires for the M-Tronic system.







The black wire goes in first.....



And is routed around to that stud I mentioned earlier.







Then the red wire.....

Welp, the email system is working very well now. Big Darin fixed it.

 

[Mastermind]

The kill switch wire.....





Now back in there, on the right hand side of the carb is a white hicky with a fork on it. Make damn sure it mates to the carb correctly. I missed that on the first one of these I did.....and the saw was very hard to start. It is a fast idle setting of sorts.....

 

[cre10]

Very nice.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

I'm in to watch this one!

 

[Mastermind]

Hooking up the throttle cable...



And testing the linkages.





Moving on.









My little wife likes taking pictures.....can you tell?

 

[jchin]

OMG...... Randy you work fast...... I just came back from breakfast and turned on my laptop and see your new thread.
Unbeliveable, you and your wife made this thread this morning. I bow three times to you. In our culture it means
great respect. The pictures are worth a thousand words. I have never seen the inside of a 441 stratified motor... I like the trough idea, about flow....
I have seen that tube on your bench many times, but never knew what it is or used for. The tube that puzzled me was
labeled Poly Si.... never knew what it did or used for. I learn something new everyday and that is why I really enjoy your threads.
Thanks Mr Mastermind.........

Awesome thread Randy! You are a chainsaw God

 

[cutforfun]

hate to say it randy, but i think Arboristsite site should be paying you monthly fee for all the work you do. Great build w/no bs so far

 

[Mastermind]

Upper AV mount.





Now for the important part.

 

[Mastermind]

Here's little trick that helps get the drum on a little easier. Just leave the bearing out while installing it. That way you can move it around to help clear the band, and find the oil pump drive.



Then spin the drum while you push in the bearing.

 

[Mastermind]

I let little Pudgy (my wife's nickname) go back in the house here. Her knee has been giving her a really hard time, and I could tell she was hurting. So the picture taking is much worse from here on.

Here's how I do a 441 muffler. I've tried sevreal different ways, but this is what I've settled on, for now at least.

Stock outlet.



Molested.



I use a long burr to get way back in here and really open it up. The bottom hole is a straight shot out.



These pics ain't easy to do alone.
