I am not paying 150 for it...hope it was smart.

As often as I've looked on Craigslist, even East Texas, I never see these saws. Don't know what you paid, but $150 for a 5400 with both a bow bar and regular bar doesn't seem out of line. That's assuming saws runs okay.

4000's are very good saws. However they are only 4 cc's(65 vs 61) more than a 3700. Open up the muffler and you'll likely get similar performance.

4000 Part 2

Well, the carb kits came this afternoon, so put that in and finished it up.
Put some fuel & oil in it. Runs great! Havn't put it in wood yet.

If oyur needing a new bar, I understand...but I have a lightly used Husky (oregon Power match) 24" bar avail..




3800 OILER ISSUE hey guys...oiler stopped working, and it's NOT possible to push the manual lever down...

thoughts?? maybe a clog?

IPL please?!

I can use that bar if you have no use for it!

The oiler just quit working? Sounds like a check valve in the pump might have clogged or stuck closed.

Tear it apart and clean it all out but, dont use hi pressure air on the check valves.

Smarts a understatment. Thats a great saw and a good price. I would have been all over that one if I had seen it and been begging the guy to ship it to me. Nice find.

Here's my latest ebay find... A little 225 pro, runs great and in decent shape... now I need to find a new decal for that recoil side cover.

Nice but that decal won't make it run any better or worse.

Bob, I think your pretty much right on. I said before that my muffler modded 3700 would probably run right with my stock 4000.

Well, the carb kits came this afternoon, so put that in and finished it up.

Gregg,

Greg, that is a beautiful 4000! Your the 4000 King now!

You guys have come up with some great saws lately!

I have not been sitting on my hands either and hopefully tomorrow or Thursday the big brown truck is bringing me a fairly rare Poulan!

Acres dosn't even list the specs on it and I'm not sure of all of them myself. :hmm3grin2orange:

That is one sweet 4000, i can only hope i can make my 3700 that clean...

Not even a hint Mark? :bang: lol
I agree too, on that 5400 down in Texas. If that saw was on ebay, there might have been a bidding war on! LOL

Gregg,

Well, the hint is that its 4CI and not as old as I am. I think.

What carb kit does the 3800 take. It looks to have a HDC carb.

Hmmm. Got me stumped. But, that don't take much.
Your a little younger than me. But that doesn't help my guess much..LOL
I'll guess a model 400. They should be right at 4 ci. and I ain't never seen one...LOL

Gregg,

 

[dave76]

Opps just looked it's an HDB.

 

[OhioGregg]

I believe it takes the Walbro K10 HDB kit.

I don't have a 3800, but the 3400,3700,4000 all take the same kit.
