Sold stihl 044

[Brian Carlson]

Up for sale is a Stihl 044 pho. I bought the saw partially disassembled. It has new aftermarket carb, fuel line, impulse line, dual port muffler, and top handle. I left the crank seals alone. It has a oem piston, jug and rings. It does have a little scratch just above the rings on the piston but the saw runs great. I can't remember what size wrist pin is in it but I believe it was a 12mm. The compression reading I got was a shade over 140 but my setup doesn't seal well against the head. The saw can be picked up from the pull handle and will not try to walk the rope for quite a few seconds. There are two base gaskets installed because with only one gasket it would hit the top of the jug. This jug has no decompression vale port on it. I don't know why the clearance is so tight because I can't find where anyone modified it. I would like $450 shipped in the lower 48. If you have any questions just ask.

That is very weird re: double gasket. What is the clearance with 2 gaskets? Also, what is the SN, that may be a 10 mm saw.

 

[Brian Carlson]

Sn is 144331440 and yes it is weird but I can't remember seeing the small pin. I bought it taken apart so someone has been in it before. I never measured the squish once I found it wouldn't slap the jug but running it does good and doesn't hit.

 

[MustangMike]

You are correct, that is a 12 mm. Still very strange about the double gasket, never heard of it before.

 

[Brian Carlson]

I sealed it up very well but I am just being honest. It works and I am not trying to hide anything from anyone.

Nice clean saw there. I'm surprised how long some of these 044's have been sitting. A year ago you blinked you missed them.

If they are worried I have 3 more to put together lol

I have a project I have completely disassembled as well. I am in the middle of a move that has derailed my progress.

You got any $200 ones in that pile?

 

[Brian Carlson]

I think that is the one my wife will let me keep lol

 

[Brian Carlson]

Wow, can't believe there hasn't been any offers. If it doesn't sell I will bring it to the west KY GTG and let someone run it to vouch for it.

Price reduced $425 shipped pho. Any takers?
