Just starting to have a little more energy. Actually took some time today to get the 4000 ready for a pressure/vacuum test. Maybe do that tomorrow. Then I can pull cylinder and clean everything up. Have to also look around my parts boxes for a rear handle assembly.
Yes it is unless you want it bad enough to pay the price. If I was desperate for it I would make a offer but that is a lot of money to pay full price[/QUOTE] too much
Bob good to see that you are able to get a chance to work on the 4000. Keep up the good work and stay in touch with us
This place is so messed up

Yea it is a pretty penny.
Take it easy Bob the saw can wait. I'd be into it myself though
You can get the 3700 on the bay cheaper than that top end

Its a lot of money, for sure. Likely needs new rings , which are like hen's teeth. Regarding rings, i recall a post about filing down 4200 rings( or similar saw), but can't find that old post. Anyone remember it?

How do we know its not a 3800. I have two red Craftsman. Ones a 3700 and the other a 3800. Beats me how to tell the differance.
Poulan 7700 rings

Good question, as the red Craftsman top ends were mixed, new in the box from Sears.
If you’ve got the muffler pulled off, the 3800 rings are standard 1/16” thick & chromed piston.
The 3700 had thin rings & a bare alum piston.
If the complete saw is for sale remotely, there’s really no way to tell w/o the seller pulling off the muffler & sending you pics.
These old saws have been around the block & may have had their top ends swapped out.
I saw last week that Bryce had a 3800 top end from a red Craftsman on there as item #352573096989, he’s calling it a 3.7 or 3700 but it had thick rings & plated piston...buyer beware.
Saw that was thinking the same thing, you have to look close to make sure you don't get screwed. I got a red thin ring last fall that I will get together this year I hope. LOL PS, was 2 of them and hard to tell them apart, did a lot of zooming in on the pictures

So since we’re on the recoil topic for now. I’ve busted the rope on my 4200 I don’t know atleast a dozen time. Now I got my length sorted out. Just wanting to make sure. I’ve covered my basis. I took a 5/32 round file and smoothed down the inside and tried to round down what I could to eliminate sharp edges. 
Now in the second picture is the rope supposed to run inside of that loop I mean this 3.5 mil rope fit fine and it spoils nicely now. Now I’m just cleaning up the starter housing and putting it back together to hopefully not bust this rope again.
