Husqvarna 44 mystery piece

[acarpenterdad]

I'm cleaning up my husky 44 and i came across this piece wedged between the carb baffle and the cylinder. It must fit in there somehow but i'm darned if i can figure it out! I do have all the manuals but it only gives the piece a number, 501 66 41-01. Anybody know where it goes?

I do not know where it goes but looking at the material it is clearly not a heat shield and more of a gasket. On older saws that kind of material was for sealing the carb to a top cover which housed an air filter. Hopefully that steers you in the right direction

Goes under carb. Most are rotten and gone.

Its a sweet little saw! Light with plenty of power. This one was literally packed with oily sawdust around the flywheel/condensor area especially. Carb diaphram full of dust. I'm hoping the deep clean will get rid of the problem it has; after about 15 minutes of running it will die and not start until its cool again.

I think i may have the spot for it. Once i get enough of it clean i'll put'er together and post a pic.

Look at video - 9 min mark

Aha! I watched part of that but never saw that. It was kinda frustrating watching him and the lighting was not good. Thank you Ray!

I never thought of it as a heat protector. It helps block dirty air coming in from between the tank and the case.

I got it positioned correctly now!
