Video: Ported MS441

[blsnelling]

Since Dan lives about a half hour away it will be neat to run both my ported 362 and his 441 side by side.

The two cylinders are basically identical.

SWEET!! That thing sounds good and it really puts the hammer down on that wood!

Dan you are a lucky man!

Sounds good and strong for a saw that is not to respond well to mods.

is 32/1 a kinda safety margin because its strato saw. is dan going to run 32/1 im more curious about this then the actual porting.

what ratio does stihl recommend for the 441

Read the original thread on this saw. LINK. I run 32:1 in all my saws. This saw is used for milling.

i see grasshoppa, i was under the impression from typed words in the past that you run 40/1 my apologies.

makes since now, i guess i miss read something somewhere and missed the thread on this saw.

shes looking very strong

I only recently went to 32:1. I recommend at least 40:1 with full synthetic only in a ported saw.

Hey Dan. You're welcome to come up Monday and we'll put in some wood. I think you'll be real pleased with this saw. How it got a reputation of not being very strong, or not responding well to mods is beyond me. I wouldn't mind owning one one little bit. But....it's no longer a fuel sipper, lol:greenchainsaw:


I'm of the opinion that the 441 is probably one of the best saws out there for a non-modder. If you want good power, good fuel consumption, good iar filtration, good AV, and you don't plan to mod it... then it's the saw for you.

Most here bad mouth it because it doesn't take to mods like the equally weighted 460 does.


It's the stratocharged engine like what's on the 441. They're a great running engine with lower fuel consumtion, but they don't respond as well to mods.
Any chance of ever wanting it modded? The 460 responds excellent to mods. If you're leaving it stock, I'd say go for the 441 and take advange of better fuel economy, AV, and filteration.

Propaganda is how. Why I'm surprized you can pick that saw up off the ground,LOL

She looks to be running pretty strong there, good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought i remembered you being part of the propoganda machine...

I'm sure Dan will share You and Andy ought to come up Monday and meet Dan when he picks it up.

You mean the ODP?

The Diaper Posse rides again!

 

[blsnelling]

One thing's for sure. They're a lot more of a pain to get apart! Just ask Dan about the pile of parts I had before I got the cylinder off It actually fell back together though.

 

[FATGUY]

It's good to see the next generation of Stihl saws are winners!

:agree2:
I've been a fan of the strato saws, particularily the 441 since the first time I ran one last summer. I'm amazed at the gains that are to be had from saws that people said could never be modded. I understand that they still don't respond as well as the non strato models, but that is just for now IMHO. Each time I hear of one being modded, it gets better and better....

 

[JT78]

She is def humming along nicely. If I had to guess I would say that tree rolled on ya when it came off the stump. Always makes me nervous when that happens.

I was thinking the same thing! I'll be back in NY Jan 7th or so.

 

[the westspartan]

Sick. Just plain sick.

That 441 will run neck and neck with a 7900 no problem. Awesome job Brad! Did you send the piston out for a nice chrome plating??

Awesome Dan. We're gonna run our saws next to eachother REAL SOON!!! I'd really like to take turns milling with each saw and do a good comparison.

Rock on wit dat badass 441 and let'er shake all da junk in da trunk dat she got!!!

:greenchainsaw:

I got an idea of what we might do with the rest of that pine log out back! hahaha. We should make some milling videos when I get back.

Should have brought your mill with you

That sounds like a good idea. I'd be happy to share! Let me know what time is best for everybody and I'll be there...probably a little early. lol
