Echo CS-4400

Bucking up the trunk from a dead white pine. Always enjoy using this saw because its got a great power to weight ratio. Powerhead is only 10.1 lbs, 43.6 cc, 18" bar with a .325" Carlton semi-chisel chain. Last tach reading was just over 14,000 RPM. Stock engine, muffler has had louvered cover removed, carb had limiters removed on both H&L screws.

Brother, Could you give a little more info on the carb limiters?

I have a 4600 that runs great but it shure don't scream like that 4400 of yours.

@556mp Take a longer drywall or similar screw to thread into the red plugs covering the H&L adjustment screws. Once threaded in it should pull out so you can take a knife or sidecutter and trim the tabs on each side of the plug if you care to put them back in-but have full adjustment. Some just pull them out and leave them but you may have to tweak the settings periodically after that if they drift out of adjustment. Be careful tuning the saw afterwards to make sure you not running to lean

@77MNriverrat Ah thanks. They are long gone. So just removing the louver in the muffler and tuning it made it scream like that? Impressive...

@556mp Correct-ditch the louvered outlet cover and remove the L-tube baffle inside the muffler and your good to go! I put the spark screen back on but not the louvered cover. Its that easy, like getting a new saw afterwards.

i liked my 4400 too when it ran. the air filter hold down nut was loose & vibrated the brass threading on the stud clean away ~ consequently the brass 'shavings' were sucked into the jug. piston is scored bad. i wanted to fix it a couple of years ago, but parts weren't available then. i'll try again this summer, but i'll modify that air filter hold down nut & screw before starting it up. make sure that cap is tight the next time you run it!
