Stihl chainsaw model numbers = cc's?

[Coldfront]

I don't know squat about Stihl chainsaws as far as what cc the model is. Does anyone have a quick reference chart that shows Stihl model numbers and what cc saw they are? Mainly the old Stihl saws, but new saws ok also.

It would be nice to find one. Even better if it showed which ones were clam shells.

stihl numbers are more in line with their cubic inch?

 

[Coldfront]

I didn't think anyone went by cubic inch anymore? So now I need a cc to cubic inch cross. I mean I know what power a 50cc and 70 cc saw have but not in cubic inches.

Why can't there be one standard? I mean even now it is hard to tell what HP lawn and garden equipment is anymore, they did away with horse power, what next to confuse consumers?

I found this, I wanted to know also.

The short answer is about 15 to 17cc = 1 hp or about 1 cu.in.

Thanks nice and simple.

I spent some time searching around for this stuff and couldn't find anything like this. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

Here is the accompanying chart for Husqvarna saws. Bookmarked both great info.

1 ci =\= 1 hp. I have a 360 ci engine in my truck that makes 170 hp. I've seen 440ci motors make well over 1000 horse. 1 ci does not equal 1 hp

Around about the 1118 series of saws, Stihl model numbers started to be roughly based on CI (cubic inches) of the engines. The 039 was 3.9 CI, the 044 was 4.31 CI. Then about 10 years ago they flipped the zero from the front to the end of the model numbers, and the 039 became the MS390, and the 044 became the MS440. MS was added as a prefix, and is an acronym for MotorSagen, which means 'chainsaw' in German. Chainsaws are commonly listed in CCs, but bars are still listed in inches. Its a mixed bag of English and Metric standards in chainsaws. As for standardizing, we here in the US are still using pounds, gallons, inches and miles. My 8th grade science teacher said we were going to change over 30 years ago, but it has yet to happen.

Hmm........thought we was talkin your basic small engines here. These numbers are just basic figures for basic small engines to go by, I found on a quick look around.
I know you can take any engine to the extreme, and also restrict em'.

I just thought that the bigger numbers that had a bigger contrast would be easier to understand. I do see your point though.

I thought the model number was how much you could get for it on flebay. Change the ms to a $ sign and your good to go.
