Title: stihl 440 ?
Post by: Cut4fun . on April 01, 2017, 04:53:05 pm

I thought all the newer stihl 440 with flippy caps had decomps in top covers.

 Since I dont know stihls well enough. Asking info as I dont believe this is right for saw being sold local.

All the 440s with flip caps I have seen all have a hole for the decomp. Does look nice with a no hole cover. Looks clean.

Yes you are correct wrong cover for the saw. IPL only shows the shroud with the decomp hole.

I wonder if some of the older ipls have both covers listed. Only cover I saw was with a decomp hole. I would rather have the no hole cover then one with hole. I always pull the decomp valves anyway. On less thing to worry about.
