Are the wheels spin one direction only?
Might want to consider mask. Breathing in any of that metalic dust could be quite bad and if you need an MRI it could be quite bad.

Never looked if they were or not.

Been through a MRI already, after years of being a welder, so am probably OK.

No, that's the one - no AVX foolishness. But it's distinctly labeled "4218A" and not "AV" which has me wondering. Oh, and it has a "color matched" bar! Really - it's printed right on the bar. Case, bar oil and PP synthetic oil included.

Can you tell me what the differences are between the "A", "AV", & "AVX"? I noted those designations in ads for different models and there just was not enough info to determine the nuances.

Thanks for the offer Mike. Been working on ideas in my we little brain too, Rednecking ideas :msp_wink:. I was thinking plastic pieces like models come with to hold the parts in. Then epoxy them in. :redface:

I also have another cover in better shape offered to me. Which I will get in time too.

I'm pretty sure those covers are made of ABS which is a styrene product. The glue you want to use is model airplane cement if you can find any. Otherwise use ABS pipe cement. Epoxy won't bond properly with it.

Thanks for your efforts Mark, they look great. I wore it to the stihl dealer to get a chain. They had a good time with it!
Man that sock hat is warm:angry2:.

I am cursed. I keep tripping over these saws. This one followed me home today. These are probably my least favorite models, the weight of a 3.7 with the power of 3.4...but still, they ain't bad. This is probably the strongest 3.4 I have. One of mine is only blowing 125 but it doesn't seem to know that it is not enough. What is a good average compression for one of these.?

question number 2

on the underside of the air cleaner cover is a clocklike symbol with 80 in the center. Is this the year it was produced.?? It started on the third pull...not bad for a 33 yrear old P.O.S.

That symbol is a date code but it will only indicate when that particular part was molded. Some other mag parts will have them as well. If Poulan was good at inventoru control the date would be pretty good. See how it matches up with the date in your cluTch cover. The compression on my 3400's are 130 and 135

Thank you for the hats Mark.
