There is no other OEM carburetor as the HD-50 from the factory.

Update. Put a squirt of fuel in the carb intake and it ran for a couple seconds and died. I feel happier now. I think my next step will be to wait for Santa to bring me a carb kit

Next time order several kits. You know you’ll need another down the road

i have 6 early Husky carbs to rebuild so ordered 10 kits.

I’ll have to look at the parts history, as I recall HD-50 is what the IPL shows as current carb. If you can provide the serial number of your saw I’ll look it up tomorrow at work.

here it is, thank you!

IPL shows HD-50, HD-51 as OEM carb. HD-17 is 044/MS440 carb. I suspected this was the case but wanted to double check.

Thanks! Guess I’ll rebuild this one and see how it goes. I know the 440 is a cheap crappy saw but that’s the carb it has

440 is a good saw, HD-17 has a slightly smaller venturi than the HD-50. Can always throw a HD-50 on it down the road after you get the saw up and running if you feel like it.

That was a foot in mouth joke. I have just gotten a beater 440 I hope to fix

Has anyone ever tried the Dukes 461 carb?

Put a kit in it. Just put it in the way the other came out. Maybe.

If it is flooding could be somebody rebuilt it and put the metering diaphragm under the gasket.

Could be the needle set too high.
Or, could be the diaphragm is just stiff and laying on the needle.
Or, the needle just stuck, or end messed up.

Any of that easily corrected.
