WHoooooooa!!! Slow down there a minute....that is a LOT bigger than a 3400

I sadly agree with ya on that one. I want to mod it very soon. I have been poking around on here reading about muffler mods for the strato styled systems, and I have not found much. Only thing I found was a member saying that it was not worth modding since it would only boost your power a pinch. So if anything I am gonna ditch the safety chain as soon as I wear it out. Then I want to pop off the limiters and tune it just a tad bit richer on the low, and much richer on the high. Does not have the torque I am use to....just a bunch of unnecessary speed. I think by doing that it should help out a little if anything.

Getting rid of the safety chain will be the biggest improvement second to that will be th muffler mod. I don't know who said the muffler mod would'nt make much differnce but they are full of it...

Well I did'nt take the time to work on the 4000 today...I ended up going to cut some wood and let me tell ya that it don't get much better than running a total 7 tanks ran through a couple of good running 245's and then about eight clear glass bottle millers to relieve the pain. Heck who needs a 4000 anyways when ya got 4 good running 245's and you're waiting on the mail man to bring another...

Four 245s and another on the way..and they all run? You SUCK :msp_mellow:. What do you havea long with that ten 306s?

So what could be done on the muffler? Make the exhaust exit hole bigger or drill another one? I hear that the two halfs to those mufflers like that are crimped together so its extra hard to get em apart.

Heck I've had as many as 13 306's at one time lol.

I would'nt worry about getting them apart myself...just add another hole and make it about 1/2'' to 5/8'' in size and retune the carb. (or you could just sell it on the bay and buy you a couple of more poulans:msp_wink

I could not bring myself to get rid of that saw. It was a gift to me from a relative for cleaning up some down trees on their property. I got it since it was brand new and I was the first one to take it out of the box and run it. I do love that Husky tho. It is a good saw but like anything, im always itching to make it better....if it can be.

I have had over 300 saws and I was the first to use ALOT of them because there was ALOT of them that were new. I'm glad you like your saw though.

It is probably 1 of the 2 or 3 that I would never get rid of. or 4...or 5...lol. Man 300 is quite a few. I am sure that you have a whole list of em that you wished you would have kept.

If I remember correctly that's Wigg's ported 4000.

they are both 1.875 and the bores look spotless:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange: yee ha a pair of 3.7's

Are they alumin. or chrome bore? Chrome bore would be the thin ring 3.7.
Bob

 

[Acornhill]

both aluminum bore, thick rings. I think these are the highest compression numbers I have experienced in the 6 or 7saws of this type I own

they would be 3800 then correct?

They would be 3800's. I was wrong with the bore as the 3800's I believe are 1.880".

 

[fossil]

I don't have anything that will measure the difference between 1.875 and 1.880 This is what I use. I set the position of the hex nut to the bore diameter and insert it thru the exhaust and lift up, if it fits then I know it is pretty close. It could be 1.880 because it has a little slop in the bore when set to 1.875.

I was just correcting myself. Without bore mics and the cylinder off it's pretty hard to measure 0.005. I do like your screw and nut idea. I just use a tongue depressor, mark it with the piston and measure. They are only Walmart ones calibrated to +/- 0.005 LOL

if they are thick ring pistons they are 3800's, thin ring pistons 3700's
