A very good friend of mine gave me this new MS441C-M for Christmas.....that's right......gave me this saw. Talk about blown away.....I still can't believe the generosity of some folks.
I don't have any pics of the saw before I started taking it apart, the idea of doing this thread was thought of after the saw was already apart. I've not got the correct handle bar yet either, the standard wrap is off to another AS member, in trade for a 3/4 wrap. Here is a shot of it after I got it back together last night.....like I said, this is not the handlebar that will stay on it, just an extra I had hanging around.
I'll have this saw from now on, so a woods port is in order. I'm not a "stock" saw guy. I didn't take any pics of the porting process, but if anyone has any questions, I'll do my best to answer them. If need be, I'll post pics from other builds to help illustrate the process.
In these pics the port work, and machine work is finished. I just want to show how I do the transfer entrances, and what the squish band looks like when done.
As you can see here, I've added a "trough" to direct and open the transfer entrances.
If you've not seen a 441 jug off the saw before, the differences between these stratified engines and a "normal" engine are cool to see.
