I like the random price tag . Would leave it on ..... and pipe it !
I'm unsure what to do with it. Would make a cool display saw. I've got another one in the pile to run and play with.
Pipe it, if you ain't got a video, we don't believe it.

Ok, now you guys have me curious, does anyone actually pipe these things?
I've seen Pictures and heard stories but never seen a Video of one, so I don't thing they really exists, just a myth. [emoji6] Like a Unicorn, urban legend.

Cheese is good.
What does that actually do in terms of performance?

That's what makes a 2 stroke have more power, look at a Yamaha YZ 250, takes a 450 to a 500cc 4 stroke bike to equal it in power. Wasn't for the tuned expansion chamber, two stroke would be a dog.

I've actually riden one of those things. Crazy fast. I had to leave it alone. I was over 50 years old when I rode it after repairing it and I nearly crashed it. I can't trust myself with speed. Really bad judgment regarding fun vs danger and going fast has always been a lot of fun for me.
I don't think putting a performance pipe on any of my saws is in the cards for me.

But it will put a smile on your face. Nothing like having a good time till someone gets hurt, like a few cracked ribs.

So I put a carb kit and the duckbill and new gas lines Todd sent me in my buddies Craftsman badged 3400. First one I have touched. After adding the 20 inch bar I had and tuning the carb I now understand why everyone loves this model. Super easy to work on and lots of power and good weight yet mostly real metal construction. Now I really want a 3400!

Been there on my 1972 Yamaha MX 500 scary fast when you came into the pipe range. Got bucked off on the sand dunes 2 broken, hurt like hell
Someone is getting the itch for a 3400, don't forget the 3700 and the 4000 and the list gets longer

Start off with the 3400, if not enough power, find you a 3700 p/c, still not, go all the way the the 4000 p/c. I love my 3700 build, lots of power and grunt. I tried to stall it out on some oak one day, leaned hard on the bow some and just kept going. They don't rev to the stratosphere but the have torque, to me that's what count.

Don't run a 8500 or 5200, stay away from those. If you do, you'll be hunting like crazy to find one.

You know, if I had to pick one,it would be the 3700. So close in power to a 4000 that its hard to tell the difference.

Yes to that. The one I was on had a power band that was like a nitrous **** once you hit it. It was quick outside of this rpm range but when you got into the happy zone it almost felt like it would take off and leave you behind.
