I'm looking for a source to buy a new piston kit for my 3750. Where are you getting your new poulan parts from?

Oh yeah the hood has to be modified. I 'll let the fella that owns it worry bout that part and I'm sure he already has a plan.
You're going to have to modify it when you put the 4-71 blower on it.

I have a 5400 I think I'd like to try that on. I have a hood thats cracked.Would't bother me modding it. Now I just have to find another muffler. Be interesting to see how it runs.

Poulan 3400 weird issue
Situation I haven't encountered before. Pulling recoil when first starting is fine or when doing a compression test. However once saw pops and I push in choke, saw recoil pulls normally but on 2nd or 3rd pull recoil feels like its slipping or almost like there is no compression. I've checked flywheel dogs and recoil pulley and everything is fine. Flywheel is also fine and not slipping on crank. Saw ends up starting and running fine but this slipping type feeling has me wondering what's going on. Anyone experienced this situation?

Recoil spring binding.
Pull it apart and clean everything real well with carb cleaner or similar.
Apply a light coat of lubricant, or better yet graphite powder and reassemble.
If you run upon anything in there exhibiting excessive wear.......replace it.

I'll give it a shot Mike. though it did the same thing thing after switching covers with another saw
This is a clutch cover from a 306A with a crack right at where the bucking spike attaches. I noticed that even on my own saw it is cracked in the exact same place. This must be a weak spot on these covers. Well it's all good now.
This is where I put the cover on the saw to see how it looks.
I like it.
Heck I did not know my own cover was cracked until I took the spike off.

just now seeing this. excellent job.
Just finished ordering the last of my parts to complete my PP305. Now all it needs is a chain. Id like to post the pics on here now, but Ill wait till its done. Whats the DL count on one of these with a 16" bar? And Im debating whether or not i should fuel it up...
16" bar with .325 should be 66DL.
Although I know mine has never cut wood, the joker before me put fuel in it and tried to start it (with the vent line hooked to the impulse nipple on the carb :hmm3grin2orange: ) so I went ahead and started it.
If mine would have never had gas in it I may not have started it though, your choice.

Couple Poulans available in my area, a 4200 and a 6900. $125 and $200 respectively.
I like my 3400 and figure I should add some more classic green muscle to my herd.
Thoughts?
