There’s no fun in that.Looks good to me, but I would have just bought the aftermarket dual port exhaust cover on eBay. $15?
You think bigger the better? I wonder at what size the spark arrestor becomes the limiting factor.Open that hole up and let it breathe. I quit measuring exhaust port size years ago.
When you toss them away and don`t run any, two 3/4" holes with no screen delivers a good flow for the 044`s.You think bigger the better? I wonder at what size the spark arrestor becomes the limiting factor.
Is there really a fire risk running them without a spark arrestor? Im about half the size hole you suggest. I could add another on the other side really easy for dual exhaust. I used to run the 036 when i was younger with no spark arrestors in them. I cut in 20-50 acre pastures. many have dry grass in them, but the chance of burning anything that matters is slim to none. Would a certain length of pipe help prevent a spark? The chain throws lots of sparks in dry wood after the sun goes down anyway.When you toss them away and don`t run any, two 3/4" holes with no screen delivers a good flow for the 044`s.
You may get away with tossing the spark screen in your neck of the woods, not such a good idea out here in Calif. The fire danger here is real, I didn’t even start a fire in my stove till we got a serious rain in late Nov. The bark beetle infestation brought on by an extended drought left our area with MILLIONS of dead trees that are still being cleaned up, add to that the wet year we had after the 5 yr drought and you ve got a perfect storm, the town of Paradise is no more!When you toss them away and don`t run any, two 3/4" holes with no screen delivers a good flow for the 044`s.

Good to know. I’ll see if this is the saw that the high idle is broken on. One of mine doesn’t work anymore. But I don’t remember which saw it is. I assume it’s a cheap part regardless though.Always swap your OEM switch assembly to the new aftermarket handle. It should fit like a glove and you keep the high idle feature that you loose with the China assembly.

What’s the spec that it needs to be? I’ve never heard of checking a motor by spinning it everything I build is based on a static deck height and going off either an established minimum safe or what it takes to get target compression. I just assumed .018 was the minimum safe static number.Set it like 1.5 turns out on high. When you hit it the first time, blubbering better. Then tune in wood by sound, so it’s still slightly burbling in wood a bit on the first cuts.
A saw doesn’t need to be pig rich on its first run, just not lean. You just don’t wanna hit it and see it scream to 18k. I’ve had a few lean out from system problems on first revs. It did nothing to the saws, but it’s not preferable. It takes longer than most think to lean score a piston. A piss rev or two won’t do it.
What size solder did you use to check squish? Try .024-.026 solder (.6mm on Amazon) and put though plug hole curved over so it rests against the cylinder wall over the piston pin. Use a socket and 1/4” drive extension and spin the motor over for 20 seconds. That will give you true squish. .024 solder will feel like you’re nor even touching it if you are at 20.
I’ve done jugs that came in a .018 and had guys tell me squish was .032. They were using .060 solder and turning flywheel by hand.
Oh, and open up that muffler outlet to a 3/4” hole.
No , but it can broaden or narrow the powerbandWould a certain length of pipe help prevent a spark? The chain throws lots of sparks in dry wood after the sun goes down anyway.
