Looks like a modifiedmark series saw to me.

Once they figured out how to combine all the parts of a saw into a small product they really started to sell them and the modern saw was born. The old saws are very interesting
2300 Steve. 2.0 and 1.8's aren't common around here. I don't find them too noisy. I think a lot of people pull the spark arrester out which makes them loud.
The 25's are nasty loud though.
Mine still have the spark resistor/baffles in them, just I can't take the loud noise from them long.

I drilled out one of my 2300 and it cost me a new muffler, way to loud for my ears
Those little saws are like a 4 cylinder car running glass packs, loud. With the muffler off, oh wow, take your ear drums out. If the had a bigger muffler they might be a little quieter.

I like a good loud saw the louder the better ya should be wearing muffs or plugs or both anyway so let the beast roar I say lol. All my saws are muff modded or factory loud and 1 positive it keeps any by standers away at a safe distance Haha
Where I cut a loud saw draws the rangers and they make you take the muffler apart so they can see the spark arrestor. That is why I like the 4000 muffler mod cuz you can see the arrestor screen at a glance. I do use earplugs but the small high speed loud saws aren't for me. On a side note when I was camping I was asked if my saws were ported or using race gas because they could smell it. Had to tell them it was only the Klotz oil and the saws were all new inside. Was running 30 to 1 for the first few tanks but it did make me smile
I pulled the guts out of my 2000 when I owned it from new. When I gave it to dad many years ago, he ask I put the guts back in to tone it down a bit back then.
Now that I got it back and running this year. I left the muffler alone too. Cant stand the noise anymore myself.
Heck I pulled the modded muffler, opened up inside and out on 505 and stuck a stock one back on.
I just see how dad heard it many years ago now.

Are the thrust washers supposed to eliminate horizontal play or just minimize it for the poulan 3400 series of saw?
Also can someone tell me what the ring gap should be? Thank you!

Washers reduce play. 008 to .018 is ok. Rings, pin plus .012 is ok. They are probably wider than that

Ring gap?
Makes sense it never occurred to me about the rangers and spark arrestors. The rangers here are only after your fishing license or ya wood permit
Ring gap is pin diameter plus about. 012. Pin is I think. 062 diameter so .074
Stock gap is. 075 with the rings and cylinder I have
Forgot to mention, I got those seals for my 3400 for $3.99, guess I got them a little cheaper cause I was wearing my GM dealer work closes.

Mine were around the same price, im still waiting for them. Got a new piston for the 3400 but it is not OEM quality, but will work. Amazon, 34$ came with rings and the pin, but no bearings.
They must have changed something with those pistons. The one I got from them roasted my cylinder. Wrist pin was too small and bearings wouldn't stay put in pistons. They even included circlips that didn't even go with the piston. They sent me a polished bare aluminum piston. If scotch brite can scratch it, it's not plated. I know I won't buy one again from lil red barn.

Wow thanks for the warning, but this piston did not come with circlips, are you sure it’s the same brand?
I have not pressed out the other pin yet to compare...
