Are there any distinguishing differences between a 944 and a 955? We had a saw donated to our engine club saw display and the markings and ID tag are gone. It does have a full wrap handle. I will post a picture of it tomorrow evening.

The most obvious from the exterior is the 944 had a decompression valve and the 955 does not. Most of the time a full wrap is a 955, but not always. The 944 would also have a points ignition vs the capacitive discharge on the 955.

Thanks for the info Leon! It must be a 955. I don't see a decompression valve. Here it is in all it's greasy glory.

"Here it is in all its greasy glory" LOL Even has the custom milled drivecase cover!
Basically just an iso-vibe 925 but the way I remember a 944 from years and years ago, it was noticeably heavier.
