Steve

Nope. While installing. Plus some are missng.

Don't think I can do that . Never seen the little needle bearings for the piston! Plus they seem impossible to install.

Anybody have an extra 3400 piston they can part with? Tried to install the one I had and several needle bearings popped out. Stupid move.

Maybe find a good used 3700 top end for your saw.

Took a quick look on EBay last night and saw a 4000 with a BIN of $100. Looked in great shape so CAD took over.

I have two 4000s, one was bought as a runner that needs work for $40 and the other was a nice one but it got beat up pretty bad by the grapple at the scrap yard but the cylinder, crankcase, top cover, filter cover and carburetor all survived, so I just need to find a blown up 3400 make a hybrid. I am just going to wait and find out of a a junk yard pile one day. The only problem is I keep finding only ones with compression. I haven’t found a blown up one.

I have a 3700 P&C and two nos 3400 P&C's. Issue is I ported the exhaust port and want to try it out. Plus I don't want to breakup the nos kits. I'll keep looking for a piston.

Just got done looking around, no luck. Bearing isn't that bad, I popped the ones out of my old piston and pressed them into another. Reason I done that was the wrist pin was too small for my rod that came with the fake new one, piston.

That was a good price on the 4000, about what I gave for my 3700 complete top end with crank.

Even if it's scored you still have all the goodies that came with the 4000, the HD intake, better muffler and the HD starter pulley and flywheel

That's what I figured Joe. Let's hope the scoring, if there is any, isn't too bad.

There's a 3700 on there now and two 3400's.

Someone needs to jump on that S250a, 199.00 plus shipping.

I bet it's okay

Bin of fire starter is stuffed now. Nary an 026 in sight.

I was at the same place and 3 seconds earlier and it was mine, I had been looking at the pictures and was going to hit the now button and it came up SOLD. When you get it keep us posted

 

[Todd Loosli]

I saw them.

I got the 3700,

Nothing cheaper than wood noodles to start a fire. I've got a ton of fat wood put up and some dried out cider. Lost most of my cider last year when we were burning brush and logs at our hill side brush dumping area. Dad thought he had his side of the fire brake fixed up,and found out an hour and 1/2 later it wasn't. Fire jumped and got into my cider stack.

That stack was 6 years old on top of that, I was sick.
