Non-powersharp.

What is different about 3800 vs 3700?

 

[Acornhill]

3800 is thick ring, 3700 is thin ring. Folks say 3700 is slightly stronger. Both are rated around 61cc

I'm always learning, it's a thick power sharp. Didn't know that was the difference, always thought poulan version was 3800

You can get a poulan in 3700 and 3800 also, like @Acornhill said the thin rings may push alittle harder, but i feel the thick rings retain the ring tension longer. I know ive seen it first hand in the automotive industry

Does anyone know if the 3400 was ever available in thin ring setup? ive never seen but thick ones

thats mine and my buddy's saw, he has a 3.4 thin ring, not powersharp

I like the yellow homelite pull handle on the one

 

[Boomer 87]

If memory serves the 4000 was only availible in thin ring configuration?

So what do you guys think? Should I pull the slightly crooked seal or not? I can post a pic here in a minute.

If you can get it level no, if not then yes

Can you take real small pin punch and tap down the high side of the Seal?

Once you lay it all out on paper it is hard to visualize all of it. 3700 4000 thin ring 3400 3800 thick ring. The 4200 is thick ring and a powerhouse.

If it was mine I would it needs to be flush / even

Probably, I just didn't know if it would mess with the now set motoseal betweeen case and seal. I will look at it in the morning, thanks. Hard to do with a washer, since the seal is below the case.

Went ahead and tried. Tapped a little here, tapped a little there. Now I can't tell if one side is off. Good enough for me.

me and my buddy and my 5200

 

[Efisher26]

Just fyi, there's a 6200 on eBay, 150psi, low bid. I want it so bad but can't afford
