Thanks Steve, that’s an awesome 4000 pulley workaround!!

It could be that it's leaking from the oil tank vent. There's a hole behind the bar pad that should have a cotter in it. The hole wears over time form the pin vibrating. You could always stick a tighter cotter pin in the hole if that's the leak point.

Tim,it's leaking out of the oil discharge hole.I'm thinking the oil discharge line from the pump never made it up into it's place.I'll have to pull the pump again & have another go at it next week.Too busy tomorrow & the rest of the weekend..

Or a roll pin...

I think the best fix is to relocate the hole to the top under the muffler towards the left side (in operator position) of the oil tank. Smaller hole and a cotter pin that fits. The 2800 - 335 is like that. No leaks and no crap plugging the hole like on the 3000's.

Check the attached pic. Either way you will have to unscrew the discharge port fitting with a screwdriver to see if it is connected. I'd pull the pump first and unscrew the discharge line so you don't crimp or crack it.
I think I sent you the manual at one time, If not let me know and I'll resend it. Easier to read.

And I didn't know anything about it.

More saws. Just a little more.

The discharge port fitting just fell out & it won't stay in place.I think it's just supposed to fit over the discharge line.There's no slot in it for a screwdriver.
Yeah,you did send me an IPL for the 3400 a few yrs.back,but I don't know what happened to it,must've gotten deleted accidentally.I've been using a 3700 IPL for the 3400.It'd be much appreciated if you could resend it,thanks!

3100 we found out info since John owned one to open up. Bare bore 49cc like the grey 3.0.
All the pics to back this up with pics of the info from book. http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/poulan/poulan-3100/msg87836/#msg87836

 

[Piotr Pakuła]

take a look at the model and capacity

That is weird yours say 3100 3.3. Measure your bore and see.

I did just find a IPL that showed the 3100 3300 for same ring. So like yours show they are out there. Thanks for sharing. Attached at bottom of pics.
Just updated that thread with your clutch cover and IPL info.

Where are you located? Ours here 3100 was 3.0 that John had. Possibly 2 cc were offered depending on parts. No clue.
Just like I found out other day why 3600 was offered which was same saw as 3500.

Pic John sent me from a parts IPL book.
John I cant recall your username here. But check this guys 3100 out on clutch cover. Different then ours here.

This one was FS local but being bare 3.0 didnt look at it.

See our clutch cover that was on John's saw

I cropped it to help see it. LOL that didnt work. But shows 3.1 guessing because 3.0 was used on grey.

I guess it was to easy to ask for location and get a answer.

Because lot of folks use fake locations. But whatever. I am done. GL

I mean I can put Turkey on mine but that dont mean that is where I am at or live now

Todd, That is exact same kit that I come by back in 2012 or so. Mark kinda confirmed it was a Sunbelt kit, You end up with a 88cc saw as a result. I personally couldnt tell any difference. But thats just me. I noticed the cut out on piston also, that was different from stock, but left it alone. Curious to know what difference would be with an alteration. Im not gonna pull mine apart to find out. LOL It runs fine the way it is.

Gregg,

 

[Big Dan]

With a name like Sunbelt, it probably was Chinesium…

I picked a kit up a few years ago, white box was marked 3400. It’s actually a 3700 sized chrome bore with thick ringed piston. It does runs well though.
