Most of you know I’ve just rescued a 044 not long ago. Now I just got another 044 at almost no cost. This puppy believe it or not is actually in a better shape compared to the other one. To be continued…
If you remove the black spit back guard you’ll notice a rather awkward shaped velocity stack, as opposed to the smaller air filter mount on the 044Holy crap for real? I thought it’s a 044 cuz the serial number starts with 144. I also noticed there are some differences between this saw and the 044 I have, starting with the air filter compartment and stuff.
Yeah I saw it. I wondered why in the same year the 044 had changed too much just the air filter alone lolIf you remove the black spit back guard you’ll notice a rather awkward shaped velocity stack, as opposed to the smaller air filter mount on the 044
I bought a MS460 today, and it looks identical to this 046, only thing different is the fuel cap and the fuel vent. What gave it away that you know for sure it’s a 046?
If you don't mind a flippy cap on the gas tank and a screw cap on the oil tank, get a 460 tank.Not sure if I want to continue this project. A 046 fuel tank is hard to come by. A lot of MS440 and MS460 fuel tanks are for sale but not 046. That makes me think 046 has low production number?
lol of course I mind, I’m a perfectionist man I can’t stand things like that.If you don't mind a flippy cap on the gas tank and a screw cap on the oil tank, get a 460 tank.

That’s awesome. Thank you! It means you’ve been working on these saws for long time.The black partition wall divider between the air filter and carb and the black spitback guard. And the poly flywheel
