Also found the pp330 is chrome. What's the difference between the 330 and 335, impulse fitting?

Steve

330 chrome big bolt pattern impulse in cylinder. PP335 chrome small bolt pattern to fit 2800 etc. 3300 bare small bolt pattern too.

Nothing wrong with bare. Dad bought a 3300 in 93 and topend still looks like new.
Many hours of use on the land hills etc.
It is one I got last year from him handed down.

Helping a few more out with those NLA parts.

The one AF had some thin spots in the flocking in the past. I just use sealall to seal the area.

Is there a "decoder ring" of sort for these tail mount codes? The one I currently have on is marked "D6" which I have found no information on at all. It required a bit of modification but seems to work fine.

These series take the D176 bar mount same as the Echo but at this lenght (32") you're gonna pay a small fortune.Husky large mount,D009 can be fitted to the 4400 with an S clip( you can make one quite easy from a windshield wiper blade and a torch).Here is one bar you can try:https://www.ebay.com/itm/Oregon-320...ge-32-Power-Match-Chain-Saw-Bar-/400628158678

First two numbers are for the lentgh of the bar,the third number is the gauge(0 for .050,8 for .058,3 for .063 etc),RND its for the nose type ( for this bar is replaceable nose,3/8 with 11 tooth sprocket and the last 3 are the bar mount.
Clear as mud?

I really missed this topic,glad i am back.

Talk about luck for me. Guy never showed yesterday for the 380 topend.

Guess I will throw that piston in either a 365 or 3500.

Are there any distinguishing numbers that I’m missing on these or how do I verify what they are for . They are NOS that came with a bunch of other stuff I found . The larger one appears to be the same as my 5200 but I’m not sure .

What is the bores? Looks like 5200.

I am looking for a 5200 cylinder.

One on right might be a 4200

Steve

That was my thought too.

 

[s sidewall]

I'd have to look at my fubar one to be sure.

Forgot to add, those look sweet, nice find.

[Todd Loosli]

Just my guess but right one 4200 and left 5200,check the bore size

That’s what I’m thinking . I’m going to get all the stuff I found today there are several new cyl and pistons on the shelves . Feels like Christmas !

Report back with some pictures that we can drool on and wish we had. Thanks

 

[s sidewall]

If you don't want them, you can drop them off at my mother inlaws house so I can look at them for awhile and I'll pick them up the next time I get enough nerves up to go visit her. She can get on your nerves after awhile of being around her but she means no harm. After I get tired of looking at them I'll send them to Todd so he can look at them for awhile and so forth.

I believe the 69cc versions were the only ones with a bridge in the exhaust port. Not sure about the 77 cc versions

I went and picked up a “load” of new old parts . I have to say it was a bit overwhelming. There are thousands of nuts ,bolts, screws and springs . I bought all this to patch up a 5200 I have , but now I have way too much stuff . I need more space !

 

[Todd Loosli]

I need some parts, are you selling

I don’t even know what I’ve got yet.

Some may have seen this posted elsewhere but more joy so posting it here.
The joys of rehabbing used saws.
Put seals in a 306a that i got in 2012. Rebuilt carb and then discovered it needed seals so put it on the shelf in 2012 as a get-a-round-tuit-when-i-retire-project. When taking the clutch off found some nimrod had buggered the thread on the shaft. Not much but down below where i could get to it; almost like on purpose.
Oh joy, i get to take my stress out on something. Used a punch and 3# hammer to get it off. Only took hour and half but it came off. Was gonna run a die down the shaft but then realized its a backward thread. As it turned out the damaged threads were at the very top. It seems the crank is harder than the clutch so there was no further damage to the threads from driving it off.
Knocked the top threads down with my dremel and tried to thread the clutch on to clean up the threads. After dressing the top of the shaft some more i got the clutch to screw on. After running it up and down and wire brushing it i finally got it to where i could “finger tighten” it. All told a 30 minute job took 3 hours but now its done.
Gonna test it out tomorrow. Looking through muffler the p&c look excellent. We’ll see.
Go forth and conquer
So i fueled it up and got it started. Then it died. Taking the AF off i saw where the dildo that worked on this previosly mounted the AF and cover with metal screw. What a schmuck!
Anyway, gonna rebuild the carb. Been sitting for seven years so why not?
Also, cant take chain off cause apparently wrong bar or wrong chain. Well, I’ll fix that. Elongated the mounting slot and shortened the butt end. There, fixed
As said before, we’ll see.
Just discovered no gasket between reed valve case and mount. Some kinda blue goo. No wonder fuel was leaking. Oy vay!
