Just bought another 028. Found it in a local pawn shop for 150 in really good shape. Probably wasn't used very much. Any thoughts??

Cut wood with i!
Do check the usual suspects though - fuel filter, carb tuning, fuel and impulse lines, AV mounts - anything in gas or rubber....

I've got a ms440 basket case that's rebuildable...if I only had another 440 that maybe needed a sparkplug or carb I think I could make one good one out of the two!
I've about decided my approach is going to be to get an 044 or 046 (or 066) runner at some point and scrape the ms440 off the left side of the bench as I place the other saw on the bench from the right... PRESTO!

"Squashed". Like run over by one of those big Florida water buffs.
Cylinder and piston look great, muffler, carb, ingnition coil seem fine. And that about sums up the good points...
It's quite incomplete considering what's missing and what may as well be missing. I began the investigation optomistic but the closer I looked the more momentum was lost.
I'd like a project saw myself...but this one is destined to be a parts donor - not recipient.

wagonwheeler: would you sell the carb off the 044 or maybe the whole saw for parts
