Tons of 3400's around. Prices are over the place, though.
Easy one to fix dropped off today. About a half hour to get to where I needed it. 
Love this series.

I think you may be right boomer. Although it's too early to say it doesn't need seals. Got that peckerwood running a while ago. Got to thinking it wasn't getting fuel. Realized I had cleaned everything EXCEPT the port from the fuel tank to the carb chamber. Took the lines off and sure nuff couldn't even blow air through it. Had to use a punch and piece of coat hanger wire to push whatever it was back into the fuel line. Blew it back out the other end with compressed air; after I removed the filter. Dang I'm glad that's solved. Now to see how it actually runs. Dumpster saws! Whaddayagonnado? But more of course. Y'all pay attention now ya hear

Sounds like you found the culprit...see this is why you take little steps and use your head like a woodpecker. No reason to instantly jump to it needs crank seals. Many other culprits out there.
Anyone got a complete clutch cover for a 306A? Someone in the past tightened the bar nuts down without seating the cover. Result - 4 cracks; foot is gone too though that mayve been a separate issue. Got lots of Poulan stuff to trade
Ready for pick up.
You sure know that series of saw. What was wrong with it?

Went through my new to me stock 54cc that impressed me without even a muffler mod. It's a red 335 in drag.
All the rubber av's busted through. Tore a impulse line, fubbared front coil av. Amazed it didnt rip the boot. I pulled it and checked.
New fuel line I use that seats around the opening way better then the smaller OD lines.
Oh you were asking about hourly rate.
I would never ever pay shop rates for a chainsaw. I had 2hrs in this and charged the guy $65 for parts and labor.

yep, rate + parts adds up quick, makin lotta saws not worth the time/$. gotta cut deals or there'd be more left here.
I had a stihl 046 come into me that the stihl dealer est was $700. I did it for $200 and got a nice mixed 6pak of craft brew.
Got a little husky 350 in that the est from husky dealer was over $300 for repairs and told them to buy a new saw. Brought it to me and I did it for $50-$75. Cant remember on that one for sure. There was like 3 of those that came in close together needing same work.

Little green score tonight.
2 3400s and a 4000.
The 4000 is beat to hell, but all the hard to find parts are there. Luckily I have a good black handle in my pile to fix it up.
The 3400 in the middle appears to be an early model and has the adjustable oiler to boot!
