Glad to hear that. I guess we take what comes our way as we age. No fun in it. It's good to see you around.
Miss Gregg too.

Cannot say that I blame you. I sometimes go into that mode too.
Was drinking a GL Edmund Fitzgerald porter the other nite and thought of you. Hope all is well.
I have a 3400 cylinder and intake block off a parts saw. It had hung a ring in exhaust bevel. I think it would clean up fine.
Then again has been a long time since I looked at it. If needed for project for shipping cost.

Thats more then I had to pay for NOS 60cc topend kits from the dealer at high retail cost.
I am with you JJ that price is crazy for a 3400.
Hi Mike. Got any saws to sell?
Oh wait, my wife won't let me buy any more from a crippled man.
I would not use a ball hone on a nonplated cylinder. Just put on the new rings and install.
Not sure I'd run a ball hone in that cylinder either. Red Scotch-Brite maybe -- lightly.
I did mic the bore and the piston from the 3400 last night. Someone reported the bore should be 1.810", I got 1.814" very consistently top to bottom (o.k. maybe +0.0005 at the top) and very round. The piston is only 1.807" so I guess 0.007" clearance is a bit much. Decisions, decisions...NOS 3400 top end, find a better used one, or look for a 3700??? Of course if I could find a reasonable 3700 piston and cylinder the choice would be obvious.
I also put this one on the bench, was supposed to be a runner and in 8 pulls it was. I tried adjusting the carburetor but this one is not exactly...snappy...I assume it should be a bit quicker on the pick up than it is. I did not check the compression but it is not stellar. Reminds me of a worn out 10-10 with the bullfrog carburetor.

My 306 is pretty snappy. Not sure hat the comp number is but I can check if you like.
Mark I have to go to the shop soon and I will try and remember to measure the 3400 cylinder I have for free. Just pay shipping.
Needs exhaust bevel cleaned back up.

I've never ball honed a cylinder. Just used some red scotch Brite. Using a hone requires slow turns and oil. Not sure it makes a difference. How low is low Comp? You're not going to get 150. I have one that runs great at 120.
