I have an older 044 that I have used for the last 10 years and it has been a beast. I only use a 20" bar for my safety. This saw was hot rodded and who ever did the carb work was a master. This saw will start within 3 pulls every time and has never died when idling. I never new a carb could run so well. I have a farm now and need a second saw when I have failures. It sucks being in the middle of something and have to stop to go get parts. I would like to find another 044 that has been serviced and runs well and then send this saw to someone to do some minor repair.
