I made the gasket in between the cylinder and carb manifold by and and matched it hup with the hole in the manifold and not the cylinder, so it was only getting enough impulse to idle but not run wide open

I found this on a saw today, yikes! I was disappointed to find it and a bad crankshaft.

Also, I was taking the fenders off my 1949 Ford and I accidentally poked a hole in one of the radiator tubes. Maybe it won’t cost too much to have it sordered.

I saw this on Facebook, tough brake man

I’m hoping someone has a good, but crusty, cheap crankcase. I have two other good crankcases but they have good crankshafts, good cylinders and pistons, so I don’t want to use those.

What saw are you trying to fix up?

Very early 12mm 044, it’s not really a vintage saw.

I'm missing something,
What's wrong with this?

Someone added the knurled collar around the bearing. The bearing was still loose in the case even with the knurled collar

Ohhh that makes more sense!
I've never taken apart a newer Stihl.

I'm guessing that bearing race belongs in the case.

That took some effort to make that knurled bushing retainer for the last guy. Sucks that it had to ruin the case for you. I don't suppose one of the huztl cases would do the job for you.

That may be the route I take, it will have a flip cap crankcase and a screw cap gas tank tho.

I'm pretty sure that insurt is in all the 044 cases. The bearing must of seized to the insurt and came out when the case was split.

Either way, case is shot. I wouldn't want to run it.

Yup the case is junk now.

Like was mentioned, you might do some checking with huztl, review like checking to see how well those cases are holding up with folk before you plant your money on a set.

I think the huztl cases are fairly good quality all things considered. The fit and finish on my ms361 was very nice, everything lined up and slid together nicely. The rest of that saw outside of the case though...is another story.

Many hours (40) on that saw yet? That's what I meant.

If your talking about mine, they have held up fine. I don't have a tremendous amount of hours on them but I have confidence in the cases. I have around 30 tanks in the saw, most of them being milling in the summer and I have had no problems so far. I know there are more members on here who have more hours on their saws and as far as I know there has not been a failure with the cases yet.

 

[s sidewall]

Well it sounds like that's his best option besides used.
