I bet media cat might help when building a saw up from parts?
Any idea how hard it is to find covers, carbs, and such for the 044?
Say, if I started with case, crank, rod, rear handle, and tanks, would I have any trouble finding the other parts needed to make one?
Nah , only hard to find part is a good tank.
Another thing to look for on them is the angled fin jug ! That is the best one ! Came on the older 10mm saws.
