Thanks Bob but half the fun of this hobby for me is trying to find them. I don't really need them so time is no issue.
If you ever find those 3400 oil caps with the rounded tabs, keep me in mind though.

Have you got a 3300/3500 intake boot that you could part with?
Aaargh, I am still needing to order up some rings for my benched one. Given what I have read about these, perhaps I should not be so hasty in skipping the base gasket when I get around to the rebuild. That, or get used to standing on the little thing to start it.
I get the white fingers, too. sawin. on the bike. stop, have a smoke, sometimes 2...

I will check, most of the stuff I have is for 1970 and 1980's era
The hurting and white fingers is why I switched to top handle saws with AV's everywhere. Top and back handles etc.
I ran two of my 5200's today, one cut great for a while and now won't stay running. The other has the old style starter dogs on it and is now binding up when I try and start it. I pulled the P50 out and finished up with it. 32" bar. I have work to do tonight.
Since I tore into the 54cc yesterday (pic above) and ran out of time after doing 4 projects. Finished the 54cc to a 60cc conversion today since it was raining out. Put the bigger oem carb on (you ave to be following thread elsewhere to know why) someone had put a 49 on it, new intake boot, impulse line, bigger then oem fuel line.

I like 'em green
Finally got to do a little cutting Saturday morning. I only had room to take one saw with me though for the weekend
Took the modded Craftsman 3.7 I bought from Mark and it ran great the
whole time. Had to do a little tuning at the start but got it dialed in pretty quick.
Cut up some downed black pine for camp fire wood and then cut up some bigger downed red fir as well. The black pine wasn't real big but the red fir was big enough to bury the 20" bar in.
Anyway, heading back up this coming weekend and going to take one of the 5200's with the bigger bar for some bigger wood. Hopefully I'll get some action shots then.

Rough but complete 5200

Nice see that Nate! Glad I sent it to where it would be used.
That small soft pine wasn't much of a challenge for it was it?
Nice saw either way, but I'm curious, is it a 5200 with a 4900 top cover? or a 4900 with a 5200 recoil cover?
Gregg,

Gregg,
It's a 5200 with a 4900 top cover. It don't appear to have a front reinforced case and has a 5200/4200 type tank on it. The recoil is the early style as well.
