Cool , thank you ! I wasn't sure what it crossed to
Most of those I seen have been bare bore like 3300. But have seen some with chrome bore too. So I just say 50/50 chance, you need to check.
The last one I done came to me as bare bore but left a chrome bore.
No subs on av lower right I know of. But always wondered if some stihl ones might work. Never had to try that yet. Still using used and NOS I have.
Supposed to put my hands on this thing today. I'll order the echo fuel line and a carb kit. What spark plug do you run in these?
Well I got this thing. I squirted some mix down the carb and she fired. It's really dirty. I took the top cover, clutch cover and recoil off and saw the impulse line is broken off. The bar and spur sprocket are pretty worn. I ordered the echo lines and a carb kit. Maybe I can get it cleaned up before they get here.

I didn't see where anyone mentioned it but if the Craftsman part number starts with 358 then it's a Poulan..
Are you talking the saw model number or the IPL numbers or both?
The prefix of the saw. Poulan made start with 358 most times.
Info I have saved over the years posted by folks and some researching. http://chainsawrepair.createaforum....tsman-prefix-number-brands/msg76814/#msg76814

316 MTD Note—Also see Misc Info.
358 Poulan Note—Also see Misc Info.
360 Solo Note: This was possibly a one chainsaw model only deal. Craftsman model 360-352010 = Solo 651SP. It was possibly only offered for a short time. There might have been other Solo products sold under the Craftsman name.
517 Homelite
636 Echo
733 Fairbanks Morse
917 Roper Note—Sears also used this prefix on chain saws labeled Sears and/or David Bradley.
944 Husqvarna Note—Also see Misc Info.
Misc Info:
316 MTD Note—Craftsman offers a chainsaw, using model # 41AY429S799, which traces back to MTD.
358 & 944 Note--Craftsman has confused matters by offering a Craftsman Pro Series line which they list & label as being made by Husqvarna (with higher prices) using the 358 model prefix which usually indicates Poulan. Husqvarna owns Poulan. I haven’t yet been able to determine if the Craftsman Pro Series are Husqvarna, Poulan, or perhaps a hybrid. I’ve seen photos of one ID plate that shows Husqvarna Sweden.
358 Poulan Note--Craftsman incorrectly used the Poulan 358 prefix on a Redmax chainsaw. Model 358.362180 is Redmax, possibly the GZ4000.
Thanks, good info.
Mine has a champion CJ4 plug. Is that what you use?

Lot of them still have those in them. But I dont buy Champion new for saws. When time for new I put NGK Bosch Autolite equivalent. Good luck with them all. https://www.sparkplug-crossreference.com/convert/CHAMP_PN/CJ4
I had a couple minutes after work today so I took the carb off this this thing. The impulse line looked to be tygon and was pretty much disenagrated. The fuel line is black rubber and still flexible.
I do not see a tank vent anywhere. Mine only has a fuel line where yours shows two lines. There is no hole beside it for a vent. Where could it be? Thanks for your help.
I just have another black Craftsman show up here along with 4 other makes. might just look this saw over instead of tossing it in the bin. The other 4 will likely not be saved, Homelite Super II , grey sided Craftsman with red stripe, 950 Olympic and a Orange plastic Homelite with a yellow recoil handle.
It sounds like yours may have the vent like the Poulan 3450 has. It is a duckbill behind a round breathable stone. It will be in the side of the tank near the top behind the recoil. You can’t access it without dismantling the tank from the saw. If it doesn’t leak leave it alone. If it leaks you can either fix it or plug it off and drill a second hole near your fuel line and install a vent like some echos use.

Yours must have later tank. Be on left side of tank hidden behind crankcase.
Can be a good and bad thing. When the brass deal falls out then duckbill too. Least you know where to look when you have mix leaking now.
I'll post the earlier style too before I ran it to top of tank.
Thanks for the help. I looked everywhere for an extra line coming out of the tank I was hoping to get this thing running with just lines and carb kit. I hope the vent works. I might pressure/vac test the tank through the fuel line to see if it holds pressure. I really didn't want to tear this saw down that far as I really don't have much spare time right now. If the vent is bad and I do have to tear it down, would it be better to replace it or plug it and drill a hole beside the fuel line and put one of the echo style vents in it?
Thanks, it has a little circle beside the fuel line, like where the hole should be if they had drilled it out. I have read several times where guys drilled holes and used echo vents in the little poulans that had Leaking duckbills in the fuel cap, I didn't know if they would be best for this application or not.
