Ok so I finally got a Piston/Cyliner for my old Poulan 3400. It is from 3800. (I really wanted a 4000 or 3700, but the price and availability were right with the 3800).
So the piston on the 3800 looks fantastic. and the Cylinder looks really good too. The only marks on the cylinder are in the typical location of the side of the exhaust port on the chain side. you can feel them when you run your finger over them, but they are not quiet deep enough to catch your fingernail on.
What would be the best way to kind of clean these up a lil? lightly sand with a wet Emory cloth??
Side note. So the 3400 P/C that I removed had pretty low compression. 120 cold and only 90 hot.. Saw did not pull very well at all. when I removed it, the piston and cylinder have transfer marks on the skirt below the intake port.. What would cause this? Otherwise neither really looked terrible.
Thanks
