Stihl ms 440 vs. ms 440 magnum ??

[jimmy245]

What is the difference between the two?  I have the magnum and can only find a manual for the standard ms-440.  Also noted that the stihl site makes no note of the ms-440 magnum.

Imagine two types of packing for your ketchup.
12oz squeeze bottle. You need to squeeze to get that ketchup
12oz wide mouth jar. You just need to pour it out.
Think of the MS440 as the squeeze bottle and the MS440 Magnum as that wide mouth jar.
The former you need to 'squeeze' to get the power while as in the latter the power delivery is much better.
Mechanically both versions are the same except the airflow and jetting delivers the power differently so that the torque-available figures come up earlier.
There will not be a separate section on the Stihl site for a 440 Magnum since  it is just one version (of several) of the MS440. And, the Magnum itself is available in more than one version,  RZ Magnum, VWZ Arctic Magnum and Z Magnum
