Well, my CADDICTION is alive and well. I broke my self-imposed restriction....
Got an old 044 coming in a few days. I wood like to restore it, since it is a classic.
I have heard some people say that it is their favorite saw. What are the good points about the 044, rather than the 440 or 460? Is it a tougher machine, is it torquier, does it rev higher, or is it just cooler, in the same way a 1969 Dodge Charger is cooler than a 1999 Charger?
I plan to clean and paint it (once i get the photobucket figured out, I will post a play by play), do a muff mod, and MAYBE send the jug off for a woods porting.
In what setting does the 044 shine? (besides under bright lights after a clear coat) felling, bucking, or just all around use? I am actually excited about this one. hahaha like I'm not excited about all chainsaws
I wood like some opinions on whether porting the jug affects teh long-term durability of the engine. Thanks, and yes I will UTFSE, but I know that folks here also enjoy sharing their wisdom, much like I get a kick out of mentoring and teaching a kid who's trying to get it together academically. It simply wood not do to simply tell them to RTFB
