I found this 044 listed in CL last night, made a 90 mile round trip drive this afternoon, and came home with a great running 044. It's a 2000 model, so must not be the original plastic, with no decomp. It's not a beauty queen but is in great shape and runs perfectly. Idles great, great throttle response, revs out, and holds a tune. Has a brand new RS chain. What's not to like?!
