    New Echo CS-4910-18 followed me home.

    What's the difference with the echo bar mount, and what bars fit this saw? Do these come with 3/8, or .325 pitch set up? EDIT: never mind on the pitch question, finally saw the chain specs on these.

    Any NOS Poulan Countervibe 3400 Piston Rings!

    Sorry, I was asking about what part numbers for the Husky parts on Jack's small engine site. As far as end gap goes, it should be .068 - .070. I've filed rings for countless engines, sorry for the confusion.

    What did you set the end gap to? I don't know anything about those, what are the part #s you're looking at?

    Caber rings for 3400 Poulan

    That piston isn't terrible, but it's getting there. I'd run it before the bare piston. Measure the cross section of those rings, see how much wear there is @ 180 degrees from the alignment pins. That should tell you the story on your low compression numbers. Then Measure the ring land depth on...

    Caber rings for 3400 Poulan

    you never answered my question earlier, so I'm guessing your factory piston is lunched. do you have pics of the p & c?

    Caber rings for 3400 Poulan

    Is your factory piston done with? So far the two 3400s, and the 3800 pistons I have are in good shape, I need some 3800 rings. I have heard some tales about the lrb piston kit failures, but not from anyone I know in here.

    Smells like something else to me. But, I get it, you must run a high performance engine shop and you're trying to impress a couple hillbillies on a chainsaw forum with your brilliant "answers". lol I've blueprinted quite a few engines in the last 45 years, I do know how all of this works. As far...

    Caber rings for 3400 Poulan

    Does this saw use chrome plated rings? I've never heard mention of that on these rings that I recall. I'm not following you, what's your point, and why the snide "I leave it at that" remark? You either have info, or you're just throwing things out there.

    Caber rings for 3400 Poulan

    I don't know where they get the rings for their kits, never used any parts from them. As far as the cross section width goes, all I have to go by is my factory rings from a 3400, and from a 3800. The cross section on both sets of rings varies all the way around the circumference because of how...

    Factory rings are .062 thick (axial height). What brand of rings did you buy?

    Any NOS Poulan Countervibe 3400 Piston Rings!

    What? Who is trying to fit a thicker ring into a thinner ring land? Have you ever rebuilt one of these saws, or had one apart to mic anything inside one, or are you just guessing? Seriously, I wouldn't want to put a .040 oversize ring into a standard bore inside an aluminum cylinder, even if it...

    Chain keeps stretching really quickly

    Did you fix this? Needed all three replaced with Stihl branded parts; rim, bar, and chain. Then tell us how it cuts....

    Any NOS Poulan Countervibe 3400 Piston Rings!

    That would be all fine and dandy if you could find rings with the correct axial height to fit the pistons designed for these Poulan saws. The correct ring tension plays a huge part in the equation too. You wouldn't file a ring that is designed for a larger bore diameter to fit a smaller bore...

    Caber rings for 3400 Poulan

    This topic may have been discussed in here before, if so, I haven't found the thread with detailed measurements yet. Who in here uses them in a Poulan 3400, or 3800(yes, larger dia. than 3400, same design) saw with factory chrome plated pistons? A good long while back I bought several Caber...
