Sold 044/046 Fuel tank handles

[jpeterson]

Well hello AS,
I am looking for two 044 tank handles to revive some 10mm slant and am in need of two 046 handles.
I am not the hard one on the handles, that's just how I got them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any 044/046 screw cap handles left out there?
Also looking for an 084 case gasket if anyone has one of those. Found a broken bearing cage on my PTO side bearing.
Thank you for any help or leads, the only one I have seen was 45.00 shipped on the auction site.

stihl 028 handles are a match for the 044, mabey they will fit the 046

I have a NOS 044 screw cap tank if you want one pretty badly.

Definitely a possibility, by the sounds of it......you may just have the last new one. How much are you asking for it? Feel free to message on here or PM me.

The handles for the 044 and 046 are the same as far as I can tell. The only difference I know of is the carb mounting stud length. An 028 handle may fit, but you would have to swap over the entire rear handle including the obsolete air filter as these were not set up to run the HD air filter. I am not sure if the throttle linkage would cross over for the carb. Who knows, it might work, I have never thought about it. I do have an 028 and an 028 Super, might be worth a test fit down the road.

No kidding? I have never heard of that. Can you find a thread or info where this has been done?

I took it from a pooched 028 case and used it for an 044, any old 028 will fit
for a non wrap handle

I’d have to see that, there’s a huge difference in size alone never mind mounting points and countless other things.

Like trying to put a Tacoma cab on a Tundra chassis, I’m sure it’s possible but...

I found the 084 crank case gasket and cylinder gasket in the UK.
Still no luck on a descent used 044/046 handle. Thank you to all that have responded!
