On the muffler mod . . .

There are two baffle plates and a screen inside the muffler that you can just completely remove.

Then it is just a matter of enlarging the outlet holes.

The muffler will fit back together without the baffle plates.

This leaves the muffler as a hollow box. The result is louder but it is a chainsaw.

I did my 3214 and it really came alive. Then I did a 3818 which had the same muffler but I didn't see so much improvement.

A Stihl "yellow" chain will help these a lot too. The cutters are larger.

Im assuming you have to set the carb a bit richer to run with the unrestricted exhaust....

After opening up the muffler which included removing the baffle plates and opening up the holes in the bottom, I reset the high speed needle for the chainsaw to run correctly.

I ran this chainsaw some yesterday. It sounds good and is not subdued like it was originally as I'm accustomed to Husqvarna, Stihl, and Dolmar pro chainsaws.

It made a nice little trim saw.

Some Stihl "yellow" chain would be a good addition?

Oh, joy.................................................................................

On the other hand, I just sold both of my 2014"s. I'll have to get one of the 3200's running.

I put an add on Craigslist and the little fellows are going like hotcakes.:msp_w00t:


I sell 'em cheap.

Modded the muffler on my 3516 to rumble box status

This is all that went back, all the baffles/spark screen was removed.

Now the muffler on this saw is about as useless as a mini mac muffler:hmm3grin2orange:

Dialed in the 3516 today after the muffler mod, not bad! Lil mexi Mac surprised me, has some snot now......corona anyone?

I'm fresh out of 3200 types. Sold three on Craigslist lately. Darn things sell themselves. I do have a parts carcass left over.

This is how you clean the plastic 3200 series macs! Lil dawn, some simple green and piping hot water in a bucket. Let em soak over night. I would have thrown the engine in as well but I didnt want to hurt the water!

P.S.... A dishwasher would be even better but I dont want to have to go for ball replacement surgery thanks to the wife.
