Thanks, Bob!

Chris, send me your email. I scanned manual but don't see how I can attach it to a PM or Social group. Any ideas?

I'll take them if they aren't already gone.

Well CAD hit again. Picked up a Dayton on Ebay a few minutes ago. With this saw I believe I have all the rebadged Poulan 3400's. Now have a Craftsman, a Skil 1641 and now the Dayton. Are there any other rebadged 3400's I"m not aware of? Soon as I get it I'll post a picture ,though I 'm going to wait for cooler weather to tear it down. This Texas weather is killing me!

I don't remember if they were still making the Western Auto that late or not.
Allis Chalmers saws ended with the 306-245 I believe.
I think there were some Canadian "proprietary" saws on that platform.

It is a 5 hp tech. It came with a briggs but it puked like most briggs that I have owned. It starts on the 1st pull every time cold or warm. I know it needs a muffler but I wear ear plugs so it really does not bother me.
Got my 3000 put back together and running. Starts and runs real good and I'm pleased. However I've never seen a saw go through bar oil so fast and leak all over the place. I've turned down the oil adjustment screw but once saw is off it still leaks out of the oil outlet hole. Is this common to this model saw? Need to put back together my PP305( essentially same saw) and will be curious to see if oil leaking is also an issue.
Bob, I don't know that much about that series of saw's but my first guess is the plastic line from the oiler to the bar mount on the case maybe broken inside the tank. That would leave a open hole from the tank to the oiler hole. Check and make sure the cotter pin is in the vent hole in the side of the case also.
Let me know what you find.
Yea., Mark I thought about the cotter pin in the vent hole and will check it. I believe the plastic line is intact as I blew air through it and it seemed to work okay. Because the oil feed line isn't attached to the oil pump but relies on a tight seal between the pump and saw body, I'm guessing vacuum inside the tank is causing the oil to continue to drip out of the oil discharge line. Beats me but I'll keep you posted.
I'm not so sure by just blowing air in one end of the tube that you could tell that. If you blow air in it and it was broken it would just go into the tank and then back through the other side of the broken line anyway. Take a really small wire and fish though one end or the other and see if it comes out the other end of the tube to be sure.
Sounds like you need to go back into the carb and check your metering lever.Usually the gas flowing freely means the needle valve isn't closing properly,either from a little debris in the seat or the lever height is incorrect.
