Well where is the pic and video when you get the 25 inch bar on it keep an eye on the oil supply my 044 does good with a 20but is lacking on the 25 I think it might Be the bar design

Thanks I'll check that.

Here is the 044 a 1996, it has been through four heat cycles and still runs. The saw looked like it was straight gassed when it was new. When we got it it has spent 14 years of it life took apart in a box.

In the past saws I have put together have been with new stihl parts, this one has a aftermarket piston can't wait to get some time on it and check it out.

I think you'll like the Meteor piston Stephen... That's what I put in the 036, and it's on it's 8th tank, and still getting better... The casting seems to be very nice... As to what they're made of??? I got no idea... It was a little
Heavier than the OEM piston though...

Wiggs sent me this piston, I was worried before it got here but looking at it I thought man this will work.

Hi all,

Retirement sure didn't last long! Friend of mine came up with a medical problem the week after Dan's GTG and I am back in the saddle running a High School Ag. Shop again. I've tried to check the site a few times a week, but sure have fell behind on the news. Really sorry to hear about Stumpy's shop and need someone to pm me his mailing address. Stumpy did a great job of fine tuning my 372 at the GTG, so it can be my turn at a little payback.

I also noticed that I hadn't thanked Dan for hosting his excellent GTG. That is a great location and I am looking forward to the next one.
