My 3800 is fixed!!! Thanks to moparman and lawnmowertech - thanks again guys for the parts. And thanks to BloodOnTheIce for givin' me a hand at his shop. 
Here's a vid I uploaded to YouTube, It's my brothers and I hangin' out at my parents house. The saw has a brand new loop of square ground Stihl chain. Saw runs really good.
I'm wearing the black hoodie, big bro Keith is in the blue dress shirt, and younger bro Todd is in the purple shirt with the "target".
We're goofballs. Just watch the vid.

Looks good!
Glad to have been involved in a microscopic sort of way.
Lean that carb a little on the top end and you will think you HAVE installed a turbo. It's running fat as a poor mans pig.

Yeah I noticed that. I leaned it out as far as it will go and it's topping out at 8600...??
I thought that was a little low but I don't know the RPMs these saws are supposed to turn. I've been meaning to bring it up but I keep forgetting to do so.
How high are these saws supposed to run?? I haven't put a ton of thought into it as it IS a saw from the 80's. I wasn't expecting it to be anything over 10k. Maybe I'm wrong....

Lookin at some Poulan brouchures, they list that series of saws at 8,500 rpm.
Now I know Brad got much more than that out of the 4000 he did some mods to. I don't own a tach, so can't give ya any real numbers on how mine run.
Gregg,
Hmm.
Seems like it's running right where it should be. Maybe I gotta give it less L.
The saw sounds a bit fat to me, but also stops 4 strokin' once it's pushed hard enough.

I would think that saw should "no load" at about 9500 rpm.
I've never owned a tach, always set them by ear, but it looks like that one is four strokin DEEP in the cut to me.
Tighten it up an eighth of a turn and see if it doesn't clean up a lot quicker and cut a bit faster.

I don't know what its supposed to be either. Never bothered to find out as never thought I needed to.
I do know that your saw is set too rich! Lean it out on the H side just a little and watch it go then.
Nice looking saw for sure and it sounds healthy.

I've tached all my 3400,s 3700's and 4000 and all had no problem at 10,500-11,000. Made some cuts and shut saw off while in the cut, checked plug color and they were a nice light brown. 10,500 should be very safe.

Gregg,
You kidding Gregg . I think they are great. Planning on putting a 4000 together from some of my parts and may need some 4000 decals. Maybe we can do a trade or whatever. Of course cash works well also.
Bob
lol. Not a problem Bob, You helped me out in the past, big time. I'm gonna make a few more anyway. Wasn't totally satisfied with em. I have your address here somewhere I believe.

Where can I get one? It's the aluminum plug that threads in the crankcase behind the clutch.

I'd get some heat in the saw before final tuning, It sounds a little rich in the vid, but the these old Poulans seem to like running a bit rich, it ain't no ported 372.
