     Summary
8.   Functional checks

Model 044 artic=chain saws from machine number X 30 991 112=will be equipped with heated handles in
addition to carburetor heating.

The electrical data of the carburetor heating system has been changed in this connection. The electrical data

of the handle heating system in this machine version differs from the electrical data of previous saws
equipped only with handle heating (044 W). The following components have been modified:

1.=====Flywheel

The original flywheel 1128 400 1205 will be
replaced by the version 1128 400 1213.

A more powerful permanent magnet is installed in
the flywheel. With the new flywheel the generator’s
output has been increased by up to 45% -

depending on RPM. Flywheels can be identified
by the size of the magnet. The original flywheel                            11                      6m
                                                                               m                         m

because the heat output would be unsatisfactory.
                                                                                                             32TI001 KN

2.======Carburetor

The original `PjJp=23=carburetor will be replaced by
the `PjJp=24=carburetor. The differences between
the two carburetors are the heating element and
thermostatic switch.

2.1.====Heating element

The heating element bonded to the carburetor body
on the original version has been deleted. Instead,
the new heating element (2) -1128 434 5101- will be

installed between the baffle (1) and carburetor (3).

2.2.====Thermostatic switch========================================~nd baffle

The original thermostatic switch 1128 430 0500 will
be replaced by the new version 1128 430 0501.
On the new version the switch cuts out the carbure-
tor heating system at a lower temperature. This

means that more power is available for the handle
heating system after a shorter period; the handles

therefore warm up faster.

3.=======Wiring harness

Wires for the handle heating system have
been added to the original wiring harness
1128 440 3007. The part number of the new wiring
harness is 1128 440 3012.

4.=======Front handle, rear handle

The original front handle 1128 790 1705 has been
replaced by the new version 1128 790 1707.

The heating element in the new front handle has a

higher electrical resistance.

The electrical resistance of the heating element

in the rear handle was also increased.
The new element 1128 434 5000 differs from the
original version in that it has thinner printed

conductors which run in wavy lines.

                                                                                                                132TI003

Service notes

• If the new flywheel 1128 400 1213 is installed in a saw up to machine number X 30 991 111, the heating
      element 1128 434 5000 must be bonded in the rear handle. Furthermore, the front handle 1128 790 1707

      has to be fitted in place of the original front handle. The different front handles can be identified by the
      resistance of the heating element - see table above.
      A machine with the original front handle 1128 790 1705 and a new flywheel 1128 400 1213 must not
      be run at full throttle for more than about 4 minutes at a time. The heating element would burn out if

      the machine is run for a longer period at maximum engine speed.

• The original front handle 1128 790 1705 may only be fitted to saws up to machine number X 30 991 111.

The wire from the generator must be positioned

as follows after completing work in the area of the                   1
ignition module:                                                          3          2
• Push retainer (1) into crankcase recess.
• Turn round connector (2) to the position shown
     in the illustration.
• Install the ignition module

                                                                                                 132TI005
The wire must be loacted in the slot (3) in the
crankcase so that it is well clear of the flywheel.

6.2=... in carburetor box
6.2.1.=Wire under the thermostatic switch

Care must be taken not to bend or kink the plug
connector during installation or removal

since the connections might otherwise break.

6.2.2.=Wires next to carburetor

The wires are laid in a loop, pushed through the
tube (1) -1121 442 0400- and positioned next to
the carburetor.

8. ====Functional checks
8.1.===Handle heating system

The testing procedures for the handle heating

system are described in detail in the 044 service
manual. However, the values for resistances and
temperatures given in this bulletin must be used.

8.2. =Carburetor heating

The carburetor heating system should be checked
if running problems occur while the engine is warm-

ing up, especially at outside temperatures below
freezing, or at idling speed and part-load RPM.
Poor idling behavior when the engine is warm is

also an indication of a fault in the carburetor
heating system.

The information necessary for checking the
carburetor heating system can be taken from the
following chart.
