Things are getting caught up around here and I finally tore into the 441 last night. I haven't degreed it or pulled the jug yet. Man, what a pain these are to work on! I have a pile of bolts just getting to the cylinder. This it's not a saw you're going to yank the jug in 5 minutes like most other pro saws. Anyway, here are some pics of the electronics. This is one carb I won't be messing with!

I think it is amassing how something so small can control every thing,how do you richen it up ?.:cool2:
All it has to do is monitor RPMs and adjust accordingly.
I agree!! just from looking at both saws the 576 looked way easier to work on. Now the 362 and 261 are pretty easy to wrench on.

So it only uses RPM to figure out fuel?? That's pretty crude if it does.

Sorry guys but i think there is more to it that that,the only way to find out is do a port job for rpm lets say 15000 and see what happens,but i think you will be looking for a new cylinder after that.
Then what would i know i have just started playing with one.:msp_thumbsup:

It its just that simple, and quite effective. I don't have the link, but someone posted a doc from Stihl that explained how it works. It monitors RPM, then pulls a little fuel. If it speeds up, it figures it was rich and does it again. In this fashion, it constantly watches RPMs and adjusts the fuel accordingly. The result? A saw that's always tinged for max RPMs on the cut. Didn't get any better than that!

If you really like half wraps like I do, then you will complain about the 3/4 wrap, but in all honesty it only adds about 2-5 seconds of time to a bar removal process, it isn't a big deal. Also you can't spin the scrench around, full swing, you have to do partial turns which is slower, but like I said, minimal issue.
I don't or can't use them because we cut a lot of lower stumps and honestly I have never seen the point in them for how I cut. I've tried them and they just get in the way. When I'm running a half wrap, I have never had a sudden desire to grab the saw in that location.
I CAN see the point of them for higher stumps and larger trees, as then you can cut with the bottom of the bar and dawg it in much easier, I don't routinely cut that big of trees with bars of 36" and bigger, so it doesn't matter to me if I use the top of the bar or the bottom.
I wish Stihl sold the M-Tronics or other higher optioned saws with just a half wrap. I always have to get the full wrap and then get rid of it. I have a pile of 441 full wraps that I need to get rid of sometime.

If it costs you a extra $50 to get a standard handle so be it,all the other extras that come with the wrap model are worth it anyway.:smile2:
