I changed my username here to my shop name. Just so you know it still me.

Yesterday working on a black gold 3.3 bare bore that a circlip got loose and locked up. Ruined the p+c. So I cleaned the crankcase flushing and air pressure like I do every time on this. But some how I missed one piece of the broken up circlip.
So the new used 3300 bare bore I put on it and was running for a second also got ruined.

Now here is my question for the poulan brain trust. Going through my parts saws. I found a green poulan with wide muffler case with small 335 3300 bolt pattern in chrome bore 54cc. What green poulan 54cc chrome bore with small bolt pattern, impulse in the case, wide muffler was there. I cant recall myself this saw.

So for now this chrome bore is going on this black gold 3.3. The topend kit is just like the blue black 3.3 and red predator 335. But this was on a green poulan with wide muffler case. :cheers:

@3000 FPS thoughts? I know we have figured out some saws in past.

Am I correct that ur thinking of putting a chrome bore cylinder with a chrome piston? Not a good choice. Rule of thumb; bare bore to chrome cylinder, chrome bore to bare cylinder. If I misunderstood ur question, I apologize.

Nope I know better. Chrome 335 cylinder with bare piston.

Both chrome pistons ruined and both bare 54cc cylinders ruined.

You wouldnt realize how many new guys to this stuff I have kept from making that mistake.

Question was. What GREEN poulan with small bolt pattern cyl, wide muffler case, with impulse on case was there with chrome bore, bare piston 54cc.
 
Craftsman 3.3 358.356331 black gold 54cc. Came with bare bore but now wearing a chrome bore like 335 3.3 black blue.

Was amazed how well the decals have survived on this saw.

Took alot of fasteners, nice used nla air filter, new oem echo impulse, fuel tank vent lines, new duckbill and piece it goes on, tensioner set, new base gasket. Plus ruined another bare bore 54cc on first rebuild. Thank goodness for parts saws as I had everything on hand.

The only one that comes to mind right now is a 3450.
 
Stihl Pioneer you could be right. I was doing some searching and found a old post of mine here on this forum back from 2016.


Ok with a little more research I found the Poulan 3350 is a 54cc saw and it looks more like the Poulan 335 except in green instead of yellow.
So that part number for piston 530069546 is for a 54 cc saw.
The part number for piston 530069549 is for a 60 cc saw.

The 3350 is part of the 3500 / 3600 family. The 3500 and 3600 are 60cc.
 
3350 ?

Thats the one I was thinking too 3350. Researched it 2 days ago. Matches everything but came with the bare bore 3300 topend.


So thinking someone might have put a 335 cylinder with the 330 3450 piston. Like a 335 predator and blue black.

Hi Tim. Do you have a source that backs that up. I thought I had researched that out at one time and came up with a 54 cc saw.
And yes the 365. 3750. and 3500 are 60cc saws.
3350 is 54cc but in IPL with the 3500 etc too that is 60cc

3350 uses same covers of the 3500 and has the wide muffler.

I'll link the 3350 3500 3600 IPL at very bottom.
