It looks like the one I picked up last month. The first US assembled saw of that series for me.

Thin or thick ring Tim? Very nice btw. The thin ring saws are tougher to find aren't they?
Thin Gary. My third 3700. The other two are 61cc 3400's assembled up here.

Very nice. I've never seen one of the 61cc 3400's. Those were only Canadian made correct?

....Beer is good.....
I think it even happened on us models as well.
Or it's like me and someone bolted a bigger top end on a 3400 chassis. Lol
Yes and labelled as 3400 with 61cc in the fine print. I started checking my 3400's one day and found I have more with 3800 top ends than 3400 top ends. I guess we'll never know why Skil, who assembled them in their Toronto plant was directed to do this. I can only figure it was to reduce inventory of certain parts or use what they had if they ran short of the correct parts. I have never seen one with a lesser top end.
The four actual Poulan branded saws I have rather than re-branded units, all have the 3700 rear vented AF covers. I wonder if they had a mold sent here to make these in Canada to further reduce duty costs.

Dang, I'm a day late and a dollar short!I know where all kinds of 4000 rings are. Now getting him to sell you some might be a treat.
He did cut 2 sets for me when I had a 4000.
Sold the 4000 and sold my 2 sets for $25 a set shipped.

Funny, I may have the same number of saws, but am gradually selling off my duplicates. Have. PP 655 boost port that I may have to take a haircut on when it's sold.Are you and Gary (Guido) related?

Thought I'd relook at my PP295 muffler porting. Really opens up the power but it's very loud. I blocked the rear outlet and drilled holes in the inner tubes and removed the deflector. Theory being that the exhaust would flow out the front unrestricted. Any have any other ways to achieve the free flow of exhaust without so much noise?
Longer arms?
I pretty much quit modifying mufflers for that reason. I've been running a J'red 630 and It's kind of nice running something a little quieter if you're doing a lot of cutting. I'm also not so sure how much muffler mods add in power to an otherwise stock saw. I hear lots but don't see much proof. I can't speak to ported saws but I suspect the muffler opening could brings significant gains.
I ran one of my 3700's, same bar and chain, same wood, with a traditional side port and bored out diffuser mod against a stock muffler and picked up 1/10 of a second. That kind of opened my eyes as 1/10th means zip.
To each his own and, they do sound meaner for sure which adds to fiddling with your saws all the more fun.

Wish I could find the front deflector to see if that helps.

anyone figured out why some saws take 6-8 pulls to sputter and others do so after 1-2 pulls when cold? MIght it be lower compression? Trying to go over a 3400 to sell but and its the former hard starting saw when cold. Compression is around 125, so its not too bad. Have a 3700 I'm going over for a friend and it spuuters after 1-2 pulls. Comp is alot higher as you can feel the differance when pulling recoil. On the 3400, I've reset the metering needle, both carb needles are 1 open and saw has very good throttle response. Plug is new. Seems like it should rfespond faster than it does.
Any chance the fuel is draining back down from the carb into the fuel tank?
