Well 3 is plenty. I need to get into the carb on mine dam thing is a pig to start. I prime it down its throat now to save the pulley.
What filter cover is better? I like the look of the high top but the forward vents seem to collect chips

Far out people must really want these things
Never thought you could get that for one in that shape
Had a look at sold stuff and noticed a new piston and a used cylinder and pulleys too in the last couple months. Kinda nice too see some stuff out there parts wise
On the hard start looks like some down time is needed, you know what to check, everything , let us know what you find
[emoji44], wow, someone must have been desperate. Well half the price was bar and chain, other was for the saw.

Yea I've never touched a saw carb yet it will be a learning experience
Not too bad to work on, like any other.

Well that's good it runs really well holds a tune just takes 10 pulls to pop like the fuel line is draining out
Got a sign for folks that pay 3 and a half bills for a 4000. Red one under homie bar cover. 
Dont take it wrong. Great saws, plus whole series is great and they last forever. Just they can be bought so much cheaper.

I agree they can be bought cheaper, but depending on where you live if you wanted it... I am on it in terms of craigslist, swap meets, social media and the friend network . I have never seen a 4000 or anything bigger in that series . I have only bought a 3400 within 50 miles of me . I had to import a 3700, 3400 part saw, 325, and a 245a from Wisconsin. I have said it before farmers hate trees and living in the cornbelt it's dry for good saws . The kings around here are Stihl and Echo and PLENTY of Homies. The rest are plastic woodsharks and Remmingtons for $80 used . LOLGot a sign for folks that pay 3 and a half bills for a 4000. Red one under homie bar cover.

Well I cleaned and rebuilt the other carb for the 5200 today and installed it. Runs great now. Just got to get a tiny o-ring to put on low mix needle to stop it from turning when saw is revved up. Tried stretching the spring some to put more tension on the needle, helped some but not enough. Will still back off when I rev it up.

Saw that. Its in great shape, but $375?
My 4200 is kinda on hold until I get my pins taken out of the thumb. Have all the parts just need to sand and paint some of them. It sucks having to wait but I'm working on cleaning my work bench
Hope everyone has a great new year and a fun one. Saw ya later .
