Chainsaws / stihl 041 super mod with decom...

Last post by buckyboy - Today at 03:51:26 PM

  I am new to the forum and just wanted to share some pics of a rebuild that I recently completed. The rebuild was an early 041 av that I converted to a super and installed a decompression valve with success. I have never performed A mod quite like this and could
not find another example to follow so I just went with it and it turned out great. The 48mm cylinder and piston was purchased on eBay as were most of the saw and I just took my time and rebuilt the saw completely except the oil pump. There is a pic showing a small hole passing into the combustion chamber but not in the spark plug area where the pressure releases until the saw fires. Seems to run as good as my other 041 super and is pulling 150psi. Anyway just wanted to share, thank you for those who maintain this site and for those who share information here!  https://forestryforum.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=11087

@lurk  I checked the worm drive.  I tried spinning it and it seemed like it should rotate easier... I cleaned the inside of the copper bushing with a wire brush and added some grease.  it turned a bit easier after that but not by much...i reassembled and tried it...chain is still spinning..but i think will try a new worm drive.

Been seeing a few turkeys out by work in old fields, some with alder, so they can run around through that to their hearts content.

I try to have a standard (if only to me} and put wired going across a wall at the same height so I can avoid this.  you can put the metal cover over wood to stop penetration, but in a thin wall you may hit it between supports.  I have weather-proof 12v breakers on my dc stuff.  some are resettable and others cool off and reset.

I'm not promising anything, but if I remember I'll make a spreadsheet and count on Monday.
