Nothing wrong with being a McCulloch man! I sure do love my pm10-10 even though I have never had it in wood. I can't wait until I do get in some big stuff. Lots projects and aspirations, but not enough time it seems.

My gasket sealant will be in tomorrow. Then when I get back I can get the 10-10s settled in and ready to roll. Already found another pm10-10 I want lol.

You're not getting it... It wouldn't be up to your snuff anyway lol. Not much will match that 10-10s you got.

Well I need a throw down saw ya know lol. I’ve got an addiction for them mccullochs now. It’s the same price as I paid for the 10-10s lol. But it’s a longer drive so figure I’ll make a day out of it and do something else up there to make it worth it.

A few days ago, my dad picked up an old grey craftsman saw but didn’t know what it was. Turns out it’s another rebadged 3400. That make 5 of them (red and grey). They must be everywhere.

Yes, even I have one. Mine's kinda low on compression, put another piston and rings in it, still around 100 comp but it runs. Maybe just needs broke in a little..
Plug tight?[emoji28]

Haven't checked, I put it away after I put it together and moved on to another project. I could still find it if I had enough time..
If the cylinder bore is good, piston and rings are good and compression tester was tight, should have good compression. Test dry or wet? Wet cylinder or dry cylinder is what I'm saying.

Remember these Poulan/Craftsman saws had an aluminum cylinder and chrome piston. The piston I replaced wasn't worn out it was broken, cylinder looked good but I didn't measure it, could have been worn out but I really didn't want to put the money in it to replace cylinder..
Slap you a 3700 top end on it like I did, impressed with the power compared to the 3400.

I had one years ago that I put rings in and the compression was only 120 psi.

I have a 4000 top end, but I am looking for a blown up 3400 to put it on.

Stick a ring in the bore and measure ring gap with the ring at the top of the stroke, middle and bottom or the ring stroke. Should let you know if the bore is worn real bad.

I'm not gonna be able to work on the 3400 for quite a while, I have quite a few saws apart right now, waiting for parts and time to work on them. I would probably put a 3700 p/c on it if I came across one..
I got lucky, 45 with free shipping, cam with crank and rod with side bushing, guess the sealer didn't know how to remove piston, have me a spare crank.

Know what you mean on having some pulled apart, got the rest of my parts in the oven right now, trying to get this 5200 back together.
