Sorry I've only just joined - and still a bit green!

Hi Everyone, Firstly I'm new here, so wanted to say hello. I'm not a pro arborist but make our own firewood and do our own tree pruning etc. I also love fixing and collecting oldish chainsaws! Secondly, I'm looking for a decentish MS440 crankshaft for use in an up-and-coming project. (An 044 crankshaft, with a 12mm little end, is also fine). The stihl part number that I'm after is 1128 030 0406. If you not have the bare crank, then I'd also be interested in buying a wrecked engine - so long as crank is serviceable. thanks Matt

Hi Basil, If the saw has no air leaks (which you can check for with mityvac), then I'd put money on it being a carb problem. The accelerator pump carbs, will invariably wear out causing leaks that give rise to just this type of fault. You can bodge the pump (I can help on this), or just stump up for a new carb (which I eventually did on mine). New carbs range from 20-90 quid....best off with an OEM, in my opinion. I just put a new carb on mine (an early one without the acc pump) and now have an absolutely fantastic 200t! hope this helps
