I wanted to emphasize that I waited before contacting the seller. I have no control over he who he ultimately responded to on the ad. Just so you know, I also posted about a 3450 several days ago that was on CL in Cincinnati so I share info as well.

Took the cylinder off of the 4000 last night to clean it up a bit on the inside. Here are a couple pics during the job. Only question mark I have is in the last pic of piston on the bottom left there seems to be an edge that you can feel with your finger. Not sure what it's from. Put a new gasket in though and put it back together, runs really good except for at wide open throttle when 4 stroking it kind of hickuped for a split second a couple times. Not sure why but I need to cut with it to get a better idea, might just be cause it hasn't run in quite a while. Carb was clean though.

That the one that was ran without air filter? Can def see some lines on intake side. Hope to not be a prob with new rings though...

No this one has an air filer, looks almost unused.

All is good. I'm sure everyone is OK.

If I find something and I'm not interested or don't have funds or whatever, I'd rather one of you all get it than someone else.

Got a great deal on a 4200 and picked it up today. Saw was about an hour away from me, so Echoshawn picked it up for me since he is closer than I am. (Thanks again Shawn). It's not pretty but its a runner! It's an early model with the flat front and screw on top of top cover but has a later model spike on it. A couple other interesting things, it has I believe a later full wrap handle on it and the clutch cover is a factory one with a bow bar cut out on it. I've never seen one of those before.

Thanks, do you know if I'm right about the clutch cover? It looks factory cut like that and Shawn and I seem to think it's for a bow bar.

I don't know but someone on here should.

All the pictures I've found with bows just have the regular cover.

Is that thing all metal? Also, is it anti-vibe? Looks like work horse.

Yes all metal, all the paint is worn and someone sprayed the top orange.

No one else has said it yet...so I will. You Suck!
Gregg,
Nate, Looking at that last pic of your piston, leads me to think the ring gap is excessive. I realize it is not compressed in that pic, but sure looks wide. The discoloration on the piston, right below that gap, makes me think there is some blow by there. I think if it were me I would try to find a set of rings for that 4000. Just my guess anyway. Its hard to diagnose someones saw from a pic on the internet. LOL If you do a compression check on it, most 4000's that I have seen in good shape will usually be right at 150 lb. Small amount either way is fine too.

Oh 77cc! Nice. Looks like a Army saw with that top cover.

Thanks Gregg, you very well could be right. I need to pick up a compression tester, but I won't run the saw until I can get a reading. If it's low I'll have to look for a set of rings.
