I would rather get screwed than flippied!!!!
I just put a 12mm saw together with a slanted fin jug, and was surprised at how well the saw ran... It was definitely stronger than my MS440, just not as pretty. So, I sold the 044 and the 440 is tore apart on the bench waiting for a new piston and the Masterminded 044 cylinder to go back on it.
BTW, I have another slanted fin jug and an 046 P&C if anybody needs one...
I will definitely keep that in mind.
I wondered how U could sell the stronger running one, now it makes sense.
Not bad for an unported saw, R they???

Just bought this one from fleabay, haven't received it yet
The slanted fin cylinders have a bit more compression and better timing numbers than the later cross finned cylinders, I have built many 044 and now MS440`s using the older slant finned cylinders, my own personal collection is four 044 and three MS440`s plus two 044/046 hybrids.. I built a lot more of them that now reside with new owners, some either are or were AS members at one time.
Deets, I saw that one, looks nice, what did it go for?

Great price. Keep us posted, but I think your going to like it. Looks like it fills the only void in your lineup!
I hear those 064s are very nice in the power to wt department.

Especially after they get back from Tennesse.
are there any other tell tale signs to know if a saw has angled fins? Or do you gotta check the #?
I only ask, as I bought a 044 the other day it's on it way here, but dont know the # yet. I am pretty sure it is a 12mm saw though.
The change to Elastostart and (a separate change) to 5 mm bolts (instead of 4 mm bolts) holding the recoil both occurred before they switched to 12 mm. So if the recoil is original and not Elastostart, or if it has the 4 mm bolts holding the recoil, it is a 10 mm saw.
If I see something on ebay (etc) that I am not sure of, I always request the SN, and if the saw is original.

Mike, the one I am talking about, does not have those details, it is a later saw for sure, I am 100% positive the one I bought is a 12mm saw.
I asked a few more important questions to the guy, then I had to act fast before someone else bought it. So I will find out when it gets here, if it has the angled fins or not.
Speaking of 044, did you see my post week an 1/2 ago about the 10mm I picked up at my local dealer? Pretty clean saw.
