Yellow craftsman was eating at me wondering if runner. Put a recoil rope in, pulley fastener, handle etc from the green parts saw. Piston looked good looking at it through back half of muffler. She lives, runs and oils.

red one wear 3/8lp 7 rim and the blue and yellowing wearing 1/4 9 rims

Not working on any new projects of late. I do have a couple of 3000's to break down and put back together once fall really sets in. And a bigger Counter Vibe. Lots of firewood though.

3400 in action yesterday. This one seems to like it pretty lean when cutting. 3/4 max on H. Any more and it slows right down. Might be looking for another carburetor. This one has required odd settings from the get go.

Has anyone ever gone through porting and polishing and timing advancing of a 4200 or 5500 countervibes. If so what results did you get. Any gains?

 

[Acornhill]

Why would you even do that?

Bob,
My old post 36260 on page 1813 in this Poulan sticky thread has a solution that fixed all of mine.

Even if the diaphragm is good, it still leaks on that unsupported edge in the impulse channel. That cap cover should have been cast with a hole, not a slot...

I do recall that Thread and thanks for providing a reference page. I'll re-read it. I'm still disappointed in the chain still moving at idle. Replaced the flat springs with new ones and it still turns. Maybe if I can get the air leak fixed it'll fixed this issue.

I dont know ive never ported anything. Guys are always talking on here about porting anything and everything, so i figured someone surely has done it to the aforementioned saws.

 

[Just a Guy that cuts wood]

Porting may be overrated less you want a hot saw a sharp chain works fine for firewood for me anyway
I have run 1 . I could tell it had power but seller wanted lots of $
If you want more power grab a bigger saw I know you have one

 

[Boomer 87]

Muhaha yes i do have bigger ones

 

[Boomer 87]

I wont port mine or have them ported as parts are too hard to find... but saws i can repair easy and have muliples of would be fun to see exactly what can be rung out of one before it goes south

See now you have my CAD going I need to look at ebay see whats on the market but last week prices were over the top

Port you a cheap wild thing, plentiful supply of them.

I read about a ported Homelite ranger sounded fun. I imagine a 2150 or the like would be similar. I wonder what a micro xxv would turn out like. It already has plenty of power for its size.

Bob,

Is the washer (clutch plate) between the drum and the clutch spider in there?

 

[blk05crew]

I suppose I'll post this here now since it just came up in another thread. I've got a Craftsman 4.2 or 5.2 coming that I should have in a week or so. It runs and this is the only pic I have but here it is.

 

[Boomer 87]

Hey not to change gears on you guys but did anyone else see the model 81 on ebay?

 

[95custmz]

Cool looking saw. Found some info on it @ mike acres: http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.n...5de4d0982ed8e3e188256b3500195d4b?OpenDocument

 

[Boomer 87]

Id love to have it got a model 71 supposedly its 92.5ccs, open "muffler"

 

[95custmz]
