So I can get a Chinese carb kit for that 25 CVA for 2 bucks or pay 7-8 for one from the US. Are the Chinese ones decent or are they lower quality like many of the other replacement parts?
I have found the non-OEM kits work fine. Maybe 1 or 2 in the last 60 I've used were stubborn. More likely a carb issue than the actual kit (check valves, throttle shaft play etc.). Some folks swear OEM though. OEM from the dealers in Canada are upwards of $15-20. Adds up in a hurry.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant either of them are AM but talking Chinese versus (assumed) American made kits. As a follow up I found a $4 kit on Amazon that looked good so buying that.

Sure is. I pulled oil pump cover and I did put a bridge like you showed in the cover. Was done last year ,I guess. Going to try a clutch from a saw that doesn't turn the chain to see what happens.

Well, think I'm going to pull my 3700?off the Trading Post. Having a cracked rear handle, I believe isn't helping sell it. I do have an extra handle but the paint is worn off. What product is close without having to spend beaucoup dollars to get something mixed?

You have a source? Though I guess I could google it.

I think your price is more than fair Bob and I'd buy it if I had the extra $. I have had a tough time selling saws lately too, I think it's just the timing, I dunno. But if you can't get what your asking for it I'd just keep it if I were you.

Probably will. I have 3 3700's and don't really use them, so thought I'd thin the herd.

I get that, just don't give it away though, it's a nice saw!
Fix that handle and it will sell.
Are the 21" bars for the Dayton hard to come by?

Picked up a good rear handle and a good top cylinder cover yesterday to replace the broken ones on the 4000 I got recently. Here she is all fixed up and with a 20" bar and chain.

Ok, so Dad picked up the Craftsman saw I bought for $30 a week ago that I was waiting on. I knew it was either a 4.2 or a 5.2. Well it's a 4.2 and it's in good shape, except for the most important part, the top end. Here are some pictures he sent me. It runs but the piston is scored pretty good. I'm going to try and save the cylinder and see if I can get a piston/rings for it and hopefully save it cause it really looks like it's in good shape besides that.
