i've never owned one of the poulan 42cc strat saws before, but have worked on/run several where i work, all of coarse were stock, but i always liked how these little strats ran and could tell they had potential, after reading some threads on these saws and eyeing one nearby on c-list for cheap i decided it was time to buy one and play with it, the one i bought off c-list, a 3816, did already run good and seams to be a low hour saw, it mainly just needed the carb reset, then i removed the muffler baffle plate and screen, enlarged the outlet gills and gave a go, it really does run well for what these saws are and i wont overlook them anymore. ironically after leaving the sellers place i stopped by the local flea market and found a brand new 3314 also 42cc for $75., guess i'm a little hooked on these saws...................
