Well..... on Tuesday I got an email from my friendly local Stihl dealer that went like this:
'Morning Mark,
We have a older MS 441 here that has been written off by the customers insurance company.
I’m not sure why it has been written off as the piston looks fine. It has been sitting here for over a year.
Happy for you to take it if you want it.'
Needless to say I replied in the affirmative!
After refitting the muffler and top cover I tried the saw this morning and found it wouldn't idle....'L' screw was wound right in! After a few adjustments, it runs perfectly, all I need is a bar! It's a '09 model that looks like it's only done a few hours work.
Total Cost......$0
