Help Support Arborist Forum:
The sticker on the gas tank hand guard has the manufacture date on it. On that stihl sticker that has all the fine print like how many cc it is. It should say MD then give a few numbers indicating the month and year.
Don't know the yr, but definitely a 12 mm saw. Why aren't you selling it trough the trading post here? (no fees)

Comp is ok, but not perfect, really want that thing at 175 give or take ... but it might be carboned up a little.
I'd definitely check the piston through exhaust port ... if there's any sign of rings being carbon impacted, I'd rip off the jug, clean everything real good, and maybe even throw a new ring set on it.

Sorry not giving it away
While your saw was not registered, the one previous to it (another 440) was registered in May of 2004.

yea flip caps were the give away....not an 044
And CR. Don't know if 044s had that.

Trying them all
Well the fact that it has flippy caps completely takes away any chance it is an 046 (or 044). I have seen the occasional 046 with one flippy cap due to the rear handle being changed.
If the SN comes back as an MS440, I suspect you have an....MS440.
In my opinion, if you thought you were buying an 046 and that's not what it is, you should get with the seller and have a discussion. (unless it was such a good deal it doesn't matter what model you bought)

Definitely a MS440.

No doubt an MS 440. Put a HD-2 filter on to go along with that dp muff cover and it may run like an 046!

That's a factory 3/4 handle. Yes, you have the DP cover.
