How is the piston? Excess skirt clearence may be an issue.

Appears to be the same as a new piston... Both jugs seem fine.

25) left it alone all week to see if the thing would fix itself, no success...

Any new progress

 

[mcobb2]

None. Been busy working on a bigger shop and customer saws. This is more of a project. Maybe more on Tuesday.

Well I brought it back to the bench... First thought I'd try XSKIER's ideal. So far its working. Taking it to the customer for him to beat the chet out of.

My '12 MS 441 R C-M (no muffler mod) was doing the same thing. Out of your checklist, the only thing I tried was to alter the free air opening timing. It made the saw return to idle poorly, so I put it back. I had the selling dealer install a new carb, didn't help. I used my pwc mikuni sbn tuning experience and raised pop-off pressure by stretching the spring about a 1/4". It accelerates crisp and cleanly now.

So you stretched the needle spring to increase the POP?

 

[XSKIER]

Yes, I've done it on 2 550xpat and a 2253. I've cut the MS 180 C-B shorter. It would be nice to have an assortment of different spring rates to choose from for tuning saws.
