What's wrong with this picture...

[Lakeside53]

Hold off you saw techs... let the others guess first..

A 2004 MS440... What caused it?? What 10 cent fix you be done to stop it from happening again?


Piston - past its prime

Carb... seen better days...

The saw is now running fine...

No Air Filter?

 

[martrix]

No flocked Air filter? Little bit of water/snow/ice got in, caused some extra detonation/higher temps in cylinder?

....go ahead, laugh, I am a newbie....:greenchainsaw: :help:

 

[Lakeside53]

Yes, water... the inlet screen was spotless so the rust didn't come from the tank ... what else..?

 

[Lakeside53]

No Air Filter?

Perfect air filter... You're looking at the exhaust side of the piston.

Straight Gas??? Just a hunch!!

 

[lotawood]

O-ring on fuel cap?

 

[Stihl_Learning]

ok I'm stumped
The damage to the exhaust side of the piston is one thing but damage to the carb also

i killed a weed whacker like this i left it on my landscaping trailer out in the open and with the small hole in the exhaust pointing up the piston was down the water went through to the carb and rust flakes and loose carbon ate my piston right up

A Hint

The carb and piston are related!!!

Sheesh, everybody knows that.

im with larry

 

[Lakeside53]

So far I'm discouraged... you guys actually keep your own saws running??

What I showed is not uncommon - I see a couple a month that bad, and MANY with the potential.

Id rep ya if I could Thats just funny I don't care who you are.

 

[somebum]

this must be a west coast thing or someone beats saws more than my stepfather if thats possible, oh yea i remember you lent that saw to the neighbor isn't that how those things go?

 

[BIGBORE577]

Andy,
This is like torture, please tell us. The anticipation is killing me! AHHHHHHHH!

 

[livewire]

Just a guess

I'm going with either fuel or fuel filter.








I can edit for 59 more minutes if I'm wrong though
