BAH!!!! well the secret is out. lol :hmm3grin2orange: Yep, the next pipe saw will be a 3400 poulan. This time, i am not playing....lol:msp_scared:

I have often wondered just what kind of power could be squeezed out of a 3400, this will be interesting to say the least.

Just filled the car back up today and I got 36mpg on the trip. Who else can report that?!


EDIT:
I have a thick ring 3800 top end here if you want to kick it up a notch...... It has some intake side scoring but the compression was still 125-130. I also have a 4000 high top filter cover and filter that I could be talked out of.

Im getting 12... :msp_wub: That is a big factor in making GTGs.

That is about what I would have gotten if I drove the Jeep and pulled the trailer, that is why the Jeep stayed at home this time. I had to leave a few saws at home but it was worth it.

Thanks johnny....i want to see what can be gotten from a "stock bore" saw. i have a copy of Gordan Jennings...and Gordon Blair's book right here....let's see what happens. Oh yeah..this will be another "homemade" pipe...so expect the frankenstein look to continue..lol


EDIT: well if I can squeeze the same percentage out of this 3400, that i managed to get from the 2150...it should be pretty serious....i hope.

I still have not done a "postmortem" on the 2150 yet......Sawmandave finally convinced me to let him run it, and ..of course...it dies halfway through the cut...have not gotten it to refire yet.....really have not tried either. Not saying He did anything to it...far from it, just was hoping to get an honest opinion of it's performance....and it pukes...lol

You know, roanoker...it did that when we ran the piped vs. stock run..., but it refired immediately....hmmmm

We came close pulling down 27 at 70mph

First thing that hits me in mind on your 2150 is the coil, it did get pretty darn hot there a couple times. That saw gave a whole different meaning to "smoking hot saw"......... Bet it bent a valve when it sucked my stock 2150 through the intake.........

:hmm3grin2orange: LOL. yeah, she did get pretty toasty on that 3 cut run. The paint on the pipe was boiling like water, (well you saw that). I will figure it out...sometime. She still feels like she has great compression, so i hope it is something external. But it would be pretty cheap to fix if it roasted a piston.

And you are right, Roanoker, from the operator position, i can't tell which one is louder....the pipe...or the intake roar...lol

I have one in a box that I bought new in around 1983 that I tore down over 2 years ago and never got back to. Want to put it together?
