Yes it is.
Mark, Do you know if he sells any of his decals on ebay? I'm looking for a clutch side round decal for my 306A.

His decals are real nice! Does a great job with them. Couple years ago I got a set from him for my 245A. They look excellent, but the decal that goes on top of the air cleaner cover was to wide, and would not fit. Had to cut about 1/8" off each side to make it work. Still looks ok to me. He might have changed them by now.
Gregg,
It's either a 3700 or a 3800 poulan. Some of these guys can tell you by the #, but thin rings bare piston is a 3700. Ring it and go if it still starts. These are not very hard to start if they are at 120-130 psi. I'd do a compression test and get that muffler pulled. That happens right away to every saw that comes in my shop.
I just looked at this saw again...the chain is on backwards. No one pointed that out...You guys are slipping. lol
Well here is an update on my Sears/Poulan 3.7. Mind you, before I joined this absolutely addicting forum, the only thing I did to my 1842 craftsman was clean it up after use and keep good gas and filters in it. Anywho, I pulled the muffler and shined a light inside the cylinder which looks smooth and shiny. I pulled the spark plug and shined a flash light in the plug hole to see the cylinder wall above the port where there is a slight amount of vertical scoring. Minor, in my opinion. I had posted earlier about this saw having bad compression but found that problem, or part of it, when I pulled the plug which was barely tight. There was a good accumulation of "burnt" two stroke oil at the bottom of the seat and threads of the plug hole. When I cleaned up (replacing as soon as I find one) and replaced the plug I pulled slowly on the starter and could definitely feel more compression than yesterday. I cleaned up the crummy air filter and put the old girl back together and she fired right up and even sounded healthier. I'm going to sharpen the chain and take it up to the grove and see how it does. I'm not done with this thing yet. I'm also going to pick up another older (?) Sears 3.7 with built in chain sharpener lol tomorrow. Seller says it runs mint and is in very good shape with a case. 30 clams, what the hay.... Sorry for the long winded post and thanks to all for the help.
you are hooked, get out while you still can!!!
Question for the Poulan Guru's: Im looking at a Skil badged 3400 for a great price. Its a Type 5 and conforms with North West forest fire standards.. Are there any differences between this FF type 5 and a regular Poulan 3400?? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Ok guys... Joe Salva and I are trying to get some info on the want/need for s25da/cva gasket sets. I have a new set and have done scans for him. He said he needs to have 25 sets done at a time and wanted to see if there was enough interest to make it worth it. To me 25 seemed like a small #. Obviously this will all depend on pricing, but how many do you guys think we can use?
