Thanks to lurking in this forum and reading so many informative threads I decided to tackle the rebuild of this 044.
I bought it fi for 200 when I got a job bucking for a tree removal service, it ran little sporadically. Eventually it wouldn’t start anymore. I saved and got a 400c and now I’m tearing this down and doing my first ever rebuild. My interest in combustion engines was began 6 months ago when that saw wouldn’t run, so a steep learning curve.
I discovered this crack disassembling today. There was no fuel leaking but I could get it to start pouring fuel into the carb but that was it. This crack may have been leaking air in? All the rubber bits were intact. I wonder if I could get away with epoxying that crack?
