I concur Jerry!!! The 4000 is my most used saw. I love em. Actually have 4 of them.

Gregg,

Very nice, Is that original paint ? Man even the sticker is clean.

 

[ILikesEmGreen]

That's too purty to use Gregg.

Almost...but not quite.

The only thing that would make it purtier would be a stream of wood chips flying out the back so fast it looks like blown insulation. RAWR!

Time to look here again and think of Spring. I guess on the upside, the mosquitoes and black and deer flies are scarce.

All I can think of now is building a chainsaw winch..... Thanks a lot Stephen c.

Stephen C. I know what you mean about the snow. I cut wood every day, I have one path that goes through the woods. I dont get off that path or I`m stuck. I even had to put chains on the Rhino to make it that far. I come out with a face cord at a time, two trips a day is enough for me. And nice job bringing that old snow blower back to life.

 

[jerry quinn]

This was the last big snow we had.

It this to lean it about 3 turns out.

 

[fossil]

Sounds too lean to me.

This saw is strange it won't seem to four stroke like my 3400. I haven't rebuilt the carb yet but if that the solution I have no problem doing it.

well, i got the 4200 bow saw running today, it does need the carb rebuilt but it did start and run. I will remove carb and rebuild when i paint her up.

I also purchased a new maul and used it. Very nice for the price

I got the same one earlier this year. I like that wavy handle. Gives bottom hand something nice to grip.

Mark wrote a post a while ago about the impulse line on the 330's. He said the impulse line was wrapped with wire where it attaches to the cylinder or crank case ( I can't remember where it draws the impluse from) and it had cut through the line causing a leak. I would be checking that while you're at it. You might want to get some rubber type fuel line and replace it anyway. If you do have a vacuum leak that could well be the source of it.

The impulse comes from the bottom left side of the cylinder.

4200 question
Looking at my 4200 exhaust port and muffler; both pieces are stock but the port in the muffler is smaller than the exhaust port which seems strange to me.
Do you guys open the muffler port to match the cylinder exhaust port? I haven't looked at my 5200.
The cylinder port is 1.62" wide and the muffler port is 1.51" wide. Height is OK.
Seems counter productive to me.

Part of doing a muffler mod for me is making sure the muffler is matched to the cylinder exhaust port.

I'm wondering if the muffler port was malformed during the stamping process. I will open the port to match. I'll have to compare it to the muffler on the 5200.
