[quuseote="procarbine2k1, post: 4553716, member: 40358"]Before I forget guys... This Craftsman/ Sears 3.3 did not have an impulse hose on it when I got it, just a chewed off piece of hose on the nipple on the case, and different piece of broken off hose on the carb. Could anyone care to enlighten me on the part number, or suitable impulse hose and how it is routed on this thing? It must be 3-4" long from what I can guess, and must pass through with the toggle wire, unless I am not understanding correctly.[/quote]
You correct that the line runs through the hole with the stop switch wires. Use a rubber line suitable for fuel and a 3/32" ID seems to work best.
That muffler mod will work pretty good. I have done a few like that.

I use it on my most used saw, a 4000. When ya first gave me that, I put it on my real nice 4000. But it just sat on the shelf, so I quickly put it on my heavily used saw. Poulan should have used this style on their midsize saws, as well as the big ones.
When you say you picked up 3 more and they are all runners, doesn't surprise me. I can't recall seeing to many 3400's that couldn't be made runners with just some basic fuel system maintenance. I don't think many of them pooped or wore out. I think most just got set aside after many years of service, just because the owner wanted to try something new.
