I took my 49sp and a Poulan 3400 out to play today. The Jonny ran really well with a 20" .325 bar as I helped a friend clear a big blown down pine. Sadly the 3400 seemed to be binding the chain brake so I didn't do much more than start it. The Jonny I bought for $25.00 last year and really haven't done anything to it at all not even fuel line or carb kit. The 3400 ($10) got new lines and starts well now but didn't want to run it with the brake binding. The brake lever has never felt good, has very little travel so unsure if the brake is right or not. The brake band seems to have a lot of wear on it. I may see if I can find a clutch cover without a brake until I work out what's wrong. Not that I need the saw to do what needs to be done but would be nice to have it working properly. Certainly worked up a sweat. Weather clear but cold -10 C but no wind at all. Lovely day to be out!
Happy Thanksgiving, to all south of the boarder.
Regards,
Lee
