Stihl MS441 | Teardown

[@adamschaeffer4057]

Just got one from my stepdad that passed away in May. I've taken it about 40% apart but had to find someone who knew the whole process to continue. Thanks! Very informative video.

[@JKSawShop]

I’m glad it helped you out some, don’t do what I do and put it all back together just to realize you did not put the cir-clips in. Have to tear it down all over again and start over.

@@JKSawShop I'm usually pretty meticulous, and even after I thought a thing through a hundred times, I couldn't count how many times I "oopsed" a project just like that. Despite what they say if you have parts leftover after a teardown and rebuild you did something wrong!

@@adamschaeffer4057 I have went as far as getting up in the middle of the night, to un-box something I was shipping out the next day because I felt like I was missing something.

After I finally get it all cleaned up

[@jimmurphy5739]

Holy God in Heaven! If my wife was able to watch this video beyond 14:10 she'd never let me bring another saw into the house. Priceless! And not a beat was missed. This, my friends, is a Guy's Video if ever there was one. My favourite bit is where piston scoring like the Grand Canyon is going to get fixed with a bit of sandpaper. Honestly, that's what I would do, too. All these other vids where guys are looking into cylinders that look cleaner than my coffee mug and declaring them to be scrap because the crosshatching isn't perfect, or there's glaze or whatever... This JK guy is practical. But I couldn't just keep taking the saw apart with those pets crawling all over the place... I'd stop and clean it up along the way. Good vid. Don't know if you did a "part 2" but I'm going to look for it right now. Thanks!

[@JKSawShop]

I lost all of the part two video. I will eventually put another cylinder on it

[@ScottWConvid19]

Thank you

[@JKSawShop]

Not a problem, glad you enjoyed it.

[@Aaron_A_Lynch]

New rings...hone that cylinder and send it🤙🏻😎🪓

[@JKSawShop]

[@justinweaver8787]

[@JKSawShop]

[@ivanmunoz6652]

Helped us remove the carb. Thanks!

[@JKSawShop]

Not a problem.

[@simpleman4224]

I’m betting you’ll make a ripper ou of it! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@JKSawShop]

I’m hoping for something amazing.

[@simpleman4224]

You’ll get it buddy!

[@IndianaDoug]

Throw the 52mm bb kit on it!

[@JKSawShop]

Going to run the OE Cylinder with an aftermarket piston. The cylinder is in good shape.

[@cajun3197]

Dear stihl fanboys....stihls rattle lose bolts too🤣🤣🤣 good video buddy.

[@JKSawShop]

She is very very dirty.

[@4550andre]

Thanks for your video! I have a ms440.But a agent harn me to not buy the 441 because have more height in piston because 2 mix 4 transfers and like 372 x torq that is short in reliabity.But yes you have a good saw good rpm and torq mayby bad gas or low mix better good premium mineral mil 1-40 racio like 1990 say big hug from Oporto Portugal Andre Campos

[@JKSawShop]

Thank you for watching, I received this 441 as a donation to the channel. It was already not a runner. The idea for the design of the cylinder is because of E.P.A. emissions regulations.

[@scottgalbraith3850]

How did you get the piston off?! You didn’t show that part :(

[@JKSawShop]

@@scottgalbraith3850 I just pulled the clips and took a screwdriver that fit in the wrist pin and drove it out

[@craighanson2983]

That stink bug was keeping you company..

[@JKSawShop]

There was a lot of them there, for sure.

[@adrianstefan23]

😉👍🏻👍🏻

[@JKSawShop]

Next week we get to talk about cylinders.

[@theconstitutionalmule9219]

Josh,that Ole Gal looks like she's been road hard and put up wet ! Looking forward to see how she look's when your done.

[@JKSawShop]

Me too, I will be ready for when she is finished. Lots of hard time on this one.

[@johnthompson5302]

Friggin FULL of stink bugs! You gotta be in the mountains of NC…??

[@JKSawShop]

Kentucky

[@em4703]

The owner must be just like those stink bugs lol.

[@em4703]

How can someone treat their tool they paid so much for like that lol? And all that grime on it, never cleaned not even once. I don't wanna see inside his truck or house, that's for sure.

[@JKSawShop]

Seems like I’m doing a lot of work lately on all these really nasty saws. I don’t do a great job of keeping mine clean, but I do try to blow them out every now and then.

[@SouthernPatriot1]

First 😉😂

[@JKSawShop]

I always seem to be last.
