Just so you know the hole is a mirror, so you can keep a eye on yourself. When I get it installed I'll post a picture

I have to tell you again how much I like the 3300 frame saws! They run great and are easy to work on. Mine gave me trouble over the weekend. Bog on throttle- knew it was a fuel issue. Usually not the carb but impulse line. So I grab the saw after work reach in with a screw driver and the line is loose on the case fitting. Carb off apart cleaned, new lines and back together and running fine in a half hour. Try to do that on a new saw....

Might have to look at the 3300 ,I know nothing about them. What ones are there and what is the cc of them

Going from memory

the 2800, 3.0, 3300 are bare bore chrome piston

The 285, 3000, 305, 335 are chrome bores

CC/s are 46, 49, and 54.

The other 54's on a larger frame are the 336, 3450 both chrome bores.

I have a 336 and it's a real ripper.

I've been looking for an orange 3000 or a yellow 305 for quite awhile. Not common on my area though.

Hopefully I got that right.

Parts are getting scarce and expensive.

Glad I found a top cover for my 8500. Didn’t pay near half that price. Next problem is the cylinder plating is toast. I thought the cylinder would clean up. But no such luck.

Wonder if it could be replated.

I had the 2700 out yesterday trimming/cleaning up a nuisance Osage Orange on my property. I needed the small size and mobility to get up and under those thorns. Proper dense wood that, and beautiful to boot. The saw ran amazing. It is SLOBBERING bar oil though. I had drips of oil from one end of the 20" bar to the other.

I looked, and it does have an adjustable oiler. Is the oiler is so adjutsable that I can turn it off, or does it just adjust from "low to high?" I have a 16" bar on its way, and would like to get the oil consumption down to a more reasonable level.

They don't turn off. Screwed in reduces the flow but not by too much.

Thanks for the quick response! I'm gonna love teaching my boys to use a saw with this little ripper.

You need a s25da for that tree

[Acornhill]

The tree is to big, I need a longer bar

If I was there you could use my 34 inch if it would help, what length are you using now. What saw did you grab

 

[Acornhill]

Well that was the 5400, 28” bar, I was going to switch bars but I didn’t feel like grabbing an S clip so I will use this

What's on the 8500. Yes that is some nice wood, would be fun to cut it into boards and make something

Right, you can make some good wood stove splits out of that pretty wood.

Burn it!
