The source of my frustration was the 3314 but with the extra experience I have now I may have been able to make a decent saw out of it, though, again, why spend the time? There are much better saws available used.
Now I may have to accept the challenge and get another 3314 and see what I can do.
I can see it now, and others have probably done a lot more...
1) Anti-vibe system, probably springs
2) Different carb setup with better quality carb. Probably retrofit some sort of carb adapter.
3) Nicer fuel hose. I think it had the tiny clear kind.
4) Upgraded fuel cap
5) Adapt to a rim sprocket
