Stihl 441

[TJ1]

My 441 doesnt seem like its using enough bar oil, less than half tank per tank of fuel. I went to adjust it and can not find the adjustment screw. Manual says it is underneath. I found a diagram underneath showing how to adjust the screw, but no screw.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I really want to find this screw, lol. I did pull off the plastic piece showing the diagram only to find nothing underneath and now the piece can be put back on as I had to tear it off. But no biggie as there isnt anything important under it.

I have a 441 as well. The adjusting screw is there. Its hard to see. It also requires a small flat screwdriver to adjust. The little orange stihl screwdriver works perfect.

I looked for 15 minutes and still cant find it. Would it be possible to post a photo of the location?
Thank you

Maybe you need to blow off the bottom with compressed air. It's recessed near the middle of the case closer to the one edge. Mine has increasing round arrow around the top half with an "E" in the middle. When you find it, turn it to the right.

If yours doesn't have one, that would be weird for a 441, as it's a pro saw. I think you're just missing it as the access hole might be clogged with debris.

One photo shows the plastic covering in place that shows how to adjust the screw. After prying off the plate (that wasnt suppposed to come off as I had to tear it off) there isnt anything under the plate either

What is that screw just in the square notch out?

Not sure, but if I "unscrew it" it backs out. It holds something in place. It has an allen head.

When i get home i will take a picture. Its by the cover you took off. You dont go straight into it. You have to angle your screwdriver into it.

Thanks, finally found it. Man that bugger is up inside! Took a compressor, qtip, and flashlight.

Probably secures the end of the brake band.
