I've got a nice MS440 hybrid, but have wanted to build an early 044. I'm starting with an early 10mm saw that I picked up off Ebay. I will be fitting a 12mm crank into this saw, and installing it with new crank bearings. The angled fin cylinder has a lot of the NiSi worn through. Fortunately, I have another nice one that I will be using. I've not yet decided if I will be using a Meteor 12mm 044 piston or a thin-ring Husky piston. It depends on the piston height difference, once I get to that point.
I've noticed that 044s have used different tanks, filler caps, air filter covers, model plates, etc. I'd love to see you guys minty 044s
Here's what I'm starting with. The saw is all apart and cleaned up now.
