1 - Does the 044 need an intake baffle between the air filter ,and carb inlet like on the 046/460 , when using the HD filter ? 2 - Or, can I just put the foam insert from the old style HD filter into the new HD filter to keep fuel off of it ?
3- Just run the filter without anything ?

There wasn't a baffle on the HD intake system for 044/MS-440 like there was on the 046/MS-460. The baffle on the 046/MS-460 was mainly for spitback.

Yep, you can use your blue/green foam insert in the HD filter on 044/MS-440, it was also to catch spitback. Or you can run the filter without anything. It works good either way.
