You were right @s sidewall to freaking easy again. Got lucky 6 for 6.

Just went through the new to me 54cc chrome bore. It lives too.

Lot nicer under covers then expected too. New line, impulse line, bar tensioner and my redneck line clip.

That’s clean. I like.

Finished with the 3400 I found in my shed, (was a parts donor). New seals ,carburetor kit,and lines.
It appears to be a 81' model, it has a hole for the adjustable oiler but there is no screw for adjustment.
Seems to rev up very nicely with my sneaky muffler mod, makes it a little buck tooth muffler cover.View attachment 857920View attachment 857921View attachment 857922View attachment 857923View attachment 857924

Draw you a little smile below that, already has two eyes and a nose.

I figured you'd get it running, looked to good not too, minus the cylinder cover burns.

It's the white box, if you find 2 I'll join the game.

 

[Todd Loosli]

Does someone need one.. pm me

 

[Maintenance supervisor]

Haha I just got a box on the way with the 4200 rim, its got a bunch of other ones in it so I won't know if I need one for the 3400 till it arrives.
Thank you .

I got a new piston return spring coming for my Poulan 3400.

It’s supposed to add half a horsepower & extend cut times after you run out of gas!

I’ll let you know how that works out, lol!

 

[Todd Loosli]

I had a set of the springs but I must have put them in upside down because all I could see that they did was it turned backwards. Didn't have the time to mess with them so I took them out and they are under the bench holding my tool box off the floor.

You guys must be bored.

I thought someone was stealing parts from their bed.

I think I've heard about those. Different colors for different spring pressure. Low spring tension for saws that rev high and high spring tension for low speed high torque saws.

That’s a good tip Steve, the spring rate selections for low/high RPM saws also have to match your muffler bearings’ speed.

I almost can’t wait for it to arrive here, it’s coming from those nice Nigerian folks that kindly accepted my Venmo payment!

Sounds like you describing the Holley vac secondary kits.

 

[DSW]

I picked up a saw but the site won't let me post it.

Might be the name. It's green on the inside, I swear.

Messing around comparing some K041 3/8 mount bars and tips plus a K041 325.
Also one D009 poulan bar with Oregon on top comparing too.

Hey Kevin , could you give me the numbers off the bar in the second picture ?
The sprocket teeth look like 3/8 low profile teeth .

Thank you ,
Scott

Full 3/8 oregon narrow tip

 

[scottr]

Thanks .
Can you give me the number on the bar ?

Maybe this has been brought up in the last 2800 pages, but has anybody noticed that Oregon has listed the 3700 as a .325 and .375 pitch chain in different publications? Was the .325 pitch only available overseas or something?
