How big a bar do you want? 20-25" I would be going 044-462c series I got a 20 on that 044 in the picture next to the husky. Or 16-20" 028- 391 thats sort of what I'd be doing Im after a 028 to put a 16" on as I find the 044 has too much power for that really. I dont really know bugger all about Husqvarna apart from the 61 2 and 3 series are brilliant thats a 61 in the photo and its hell of a saw.
How much would you be looking for it?
got an 028AV super and an 034AV .... bout all I know other than they're constantly troublesome - great saws when they're running right, but have a lot of issues with a tiny filter in the carbs blocking .. have mentioned it several times before
You dont have a hole in the in tank filter letting crap get to the carb do you? I've not had one yet so not had that problem before. Had the filter on the 070 that blocked it wouldnt suck fuel up when I first rebuilt it (didnt think to check it). Only Figured that out after lots of pulling my arm was like popeye.got an 028AV super and an 034AV .... bout all I know other than they're constantly troublesome - gret saws when they're running right, but have a lot of issues with a tiny filter in the carbs blocking .. have mentioned it several times before
gonna have to get 'em out shortly and have a concerted effort at getting them right - firewood time - got a few trees to op up that've blown over and been seasoning nicely

new line, new filter - tried all sorts ... its's a tiny gauze, which I've also replaced, between the 'pump' and the carb body which gets blocked and 'gummed up' (got pix but can't find them right now) with the finest of dust (when dried) - like talc - have surgically cleaned everything multiple times, but this sh1t keeps on getting into that filter - literally like a gum when wet -- air filter is clinically clean and that's an hour or so's accumulation
has done my swede 
Someones took a dump in your carb what the hell. Never seen that before. Not contaminated fuel is it?new line, new filter - tried all sorts ... its's a tiny gauze, which I've also replaced, between the 'pump' and the carb body which gets blocked and 'gummed up' (got pix but can't find them right now) with the finest of dust (when dried) - like talc - have surgically cleaned everything multiple times, but this sh1t keeps on getting into that filter - literally like a gum when wet -- air filter is clinically clean and that's an hour or so's accumulation

same fuel can supplies my Husqy strimmer, leaf blower & hedge cutter - all run faultlessly and have done for years .. the 034 takes longer to gum but does - the 028 is a PITFA --- I'm gonna have it totally to bits shortly and see if I am missing something ??
Well thats me stumped. Tanks clean I presume? Cant think of anything else it could be.same fuel can supplies my Husqy strimmer, leaf blower & hedge cutter - all run faultlessly and have done for years .. the 034 takes longer to gum but does - the 028 is a PITFA --- I'm gonna have it totally to bits shortly and see if I am missing something ??
am fed up with cleaning every conceivable component
agree the common denominator between both saws is the fuel can (and whatever I'm cutting) but the other three machines run flawlessly
you and me both
sick of cleaning the tank out (and everything else) - just can't work out WTF the contamination is (a) coming from and (b) HTF it's getting into the carb are you using normal pump petrol? my brother in law was getting loads of problems with his stihl disk cutter and chainsaw and was advised to use pre mixed fuel i cant remember the name of it it is a lot dearer than pump petrol but since using it has had no issues with either of them. i use normal pump petrol but never leave any in the tank and after emptying the tank run the saw until it stops and it seems ok doing that. can be a bstard to start next time using it though.new line, new filter - tried all sorts ... its's a tiny gauze, which I've also replaced, between the 'pump' and the carb body which gets blocked and 'gummed up' (got pix but can't find them right now) with the finest of dust (when dried) - like talc - have surgically cleaned everything multiple times, but this sh1t keeps on getting into that filter - literally like a gum when wet -- air filter is clinically clean and that's an hour or so's accumulation

only use E5 in all of our garden gear, mowers, etc. (and the P38) ... don't trust them with E10 ...... and that premix (which I can't recall the name of either
) is eye wateringly expensive... E5 is bad enoughYou can buy the additive cheaper than the petrol substitute
Use aspen or husky xp2 never looked back for a few quid more
IIRC Aspen is 20 odd quid a gallon ?
Yeah but with the oil and faff it's about twice the price max . For an extra tenner knowing it's can sit in the tool for a winter and no hassle etc.IIRC Aspen is 20 odd quid a gallon ?
