Supreme Saw Whoreder
The 4400 was in Ada, I had someone lined up to get it but he would not hold it and sold it this afternoon I really wanted the 28" bar that was on it.
Darn. There's always next time, I guess. Did someone on here get it?The 4400 was in Ada, I had someone lined up to get it but he would not hold it and sold it this afternoon I really wanted the 28" bar that was on it.
Why didn't the fat ringed 3800 series use chromed rings?
Tore my first one down for a minor rebuild & cleaning, and was suprised that the rings are standard cast iron for that aluminum bore.
Hey. Didnt mean to rain on your parade. I have been looking for a big poulan and the price was right. Actually was looking for a 5200. This will work.The 4400 was in Ada, I had someone lined up to get it but he would not hold it and sold it this afternoon I really wanted the 28" bar that was on it.
Thanks Tim, those 3800 pistons rings are pinned separately, with a centered pin. That's really a poor designYep, but they run forever and strong too.

because you can't fit the ring ends around them like most of the imported/metric saws. I'm ditching the jug gasket and will give
it a run, hopefully it will run strong.
Thanks! Now for the hard part...anyone know where i can find a piston??Very nice JC...
<-----quite a envious, and for that money I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Thanks for the tips, I'm not going to lathe off the cylinder until I see where I'm at. The exhaust port was widened & the muffler got a 7/8" ell added, so it will flow well.You need to loose the base gasket plus another .015" to .020" from the base. Then advance the timing about 2 or 3 degrees. Take the plastic intake adaptor and smooth out all the casting ridges that are in there. The divider on the intake port of the cylinder can be formed into a sharp edge facing the carb side. Widen the exhaust port and muffler mod it. Then you will have a good running saw.
Question for you folks... I ran across a PP655 at the local repair shop hanging from the used post. Looks like it's in good shape except for a small taped up crack in the rear handle. Very stout compression from what i could tell by giving the starter a couple pulls. Only "neg" is it's not a BP. Off the cuff, what would y'all say that saw would be worth...? Ballpark figure of course.

Thought maybe you would like a pic or two.
Thanks for the tip Gary! That I could tell. I didn't have a chance to put a gauge on it and the guy working parts counter was tied up so I couldn't ask him, but slowly cycling it, I could tell it was very stout.
That I do Gary, that I do....but I'mma tell ya right now, it'd break my dang heart to box that one up and send it to ya. haha. Besides, you already have one!If you decide to pass let me know, you have my address...
BeryThe price was more than right, glad it went to someone here. I was just going to add it to the collection, probably better in your hands so it will be a runner. I paid $80.00 for this 4400 and got the 2000 and Wild Thing in the deal as well.
[EDIT] Here is a better picture of it cleaned up.
