Wasn't trying to be a smart@zz, just saying the improvement is much more than worth the trouble.
That's cool. Sorry for the kurt reply. I should have stated that some of us can't afford to spend $500-$1000 on each work saw.......plus $300 (and some down time) to send it of to be ported. Heck, my work saws are all old warhorses, some of which I put together from other people's box of cast-off's.....

Randy keep in mind my 'eccentric' tastes in saws. I prefer 'firm' rubber AV mounts over spring AV...................and don't want anything to do with IEM, M-Tronic, or Autotune.
you know why.
441 was a lame duck. and the ONLY reason anybody gives it a second look is now due the electric carb and stihl loyalest having blinders on.
still a over engineered hard to service fat big as a 660, weight at much as a 460/461, wannbe husky saw.
the thing is as bad as a clam shell. yea i said it.
granted makes good-great power stock-ported, so what.
bottom line, as a whole package, it blows.
why buy a copy cat husky saw, when i can just go get the husky. ill give up some on the motor for the WAAAAAAAY BETTER whole package saw.
and before anybody goes to say blah blah, yes ive had a ms441 and sold it and worked a more than i would have like to. might not be the "c" model but its the same damn saw.
so is that reason enough.
i have nothing on the 064 vs 066. i do like a good running 064. but i rather have a 461 now :hmm3grin2orange:

Ok lets sort afew things out here.
If the M Tronic is a lame duck why is there a 241 C,441C coming 261C and 661 C M Tronic ?.
You dont need to service um.
Auto tune Huskys how many of then have been returned under warrenty.
Dont blame you for selling the 441 old non M Tronic model.
You send me a Husky 70cc saw that is better for work than a 441C and i will pay you double for it.
:smile2:
you might want to re-read my post.

Yep right o why is a 70cc Husky better than a 441C R MTronic ?.:msp_unsure:
so why is the same saw even you sold SO much better with the electric carb. still the same saw. right?
obviously you didnt re-read my post, never said the electric carb aka m-tronic was a lame duck. iam taking about the 441.
lame saw before the m-tronic and still a lame saw with it.
glad it works for you where the standard ms441 didnt :msp_rolleyes:

The reasons why i sold my old model 441 was the AV springs were soggy compared to the R model ones,and the lack of torque with no MTronic.

Wow. The creamsickle fanfare is up in full force. As if a 441CM is really significantly better as a work saw than a 372XP (which is the saw in the title of this thread BTW) ......:msp_rolleyes:
How the heck did this go from a "see how I port a 372XP" thread to a "the MS441CM is far and away the best 70cc class work saw ever!" thread???

PLENTY of folks have done a damn good job making 'coin' with stock saws. I'm not saying ported saws aren't good work saws. That'd be stupid (and has been argued to death in other threads). However, to state that they're the ONLY way to do work...... or imply that guys that run stock saws are just playing around (meaning amateurs/hacks/whatever).......well that's just arrogant bull####......

Me either. I want to try out a ported one. I prefer the 372 as a work saw but a 461 was fun to run and not much weight difference.
A ported 576 autotune is a nice running saw also. It might be the wrong color and all:msp_scared:

Good point. If Husky had AT'd the 372, I doubt I would have bought a 441C. As it is, I greatly prefer my 441 to my 390XP (in terms of feel/handling/starting/etc) but I admit that's not a fair comparison - just the closest I can make.

I noticed you said the stihl you like is the 441c probably meaning you like a husky overall more better and stuff :msp_thumbup: But, it seems like every 441 I have seen(ran or seen run), even the ported ones have been underdogs compared to everything in there class. I hope you bring one to the gtg that changes my mind though
I don't have one at the moment....... :msp_sad:
I've got a MS441........but not a C. Yes, it really makes that much difference. The M-tronic system is a great addition to that saw.
As for anyone saying that the 441C is the best 70cc saw. I missed that, and sure didn't say it. I've got several 372XPs on the shelf, and ain't letting them all go.
What I did say is that the 441C is my favorite Stihl.
What I like about the 441C, as Young noted, is that it is very "Husky like". It's a quad port design, with spring AV......but, it also has the M-tronic system (that I like a lot) and it has a stratified engine, which means better fuel economy, and less fumes in my face.
I've offered to trade a very nice ported Husqvarna 372XP for a stock Stihl MS441CRM and no one has taken me up on that......the guys that have those saws must like them pretty well.
Remember guys, this ain't about which is "best". They are just chainsaws......a tool that we use.........period.

They're German. They wouldn't be caught dead without having all their ducks in a row.
Now enjoy some German music, Ja! Gott weiss Ich will kein Engel sein!!!!

I sure would like to see how Randy ports a 372, or maybe a 2171 since that is what I have.
