Ok all done here she is! The carb plate was the original and was pretty dull and it shows it with the dye. The Farmertech parts took the dye well.

My son looked at it and said he loved the black and white! Then he said...dad you need a new tank for that saw! Damn I think he's right!

I was just wondering the same thing.
Farmertec now has tanks/handles for the 044/ms440 available. I've seen them on eBay. They're pretty cheap. I've used a few of the Farmertec tanks on 066 saws and they work great. Nice fit and finish.

I'll be getting one from Definitive Dave talk to him if you need one.

I'm not sure but I know they have a lot of colors! It's only $3 a bottle!

IMO it might be worth trying.

Since today is the day for asking dumb questions, has anybody tried bleach on a white handle?

I was thinking acetone might work. It will remove yellowing from billiard balls.

We use hydrogen peroxide on white plastics.

 

[PA Dan]

I did on this handle. It did brighten it up a bunch but not white and has a dull finish.

That should work I have used hydrogen peroxide on deer skulls! You have to get the good stuff from the beauty supply store.

Dye the handle black or orange?

 

[cgraham1]

Looks great, Dan!

Did somebody say black was the only color that would work to cover the orange?

 

[PA Dan]

Thanks buddy I really like it. I did hear that but not sure how true it is.

zep alum aluminum wheel acid melts a lot of the brown off handles .
