Anything magnesium painted green is what I try and save. When I put together a saw there is always a few parts left so I start looking for more parts to make another saw . What sickness do I have

You're not alone. I have 3400 parts saws that are taking up space. Just sold one on Ebay and have another that has me baffled. Comp 90 with new rings. MIght switch out cylinders and then pistons to see what gives. Something to do.

How does the rings look in the cylinder?

Hey Bob,
If any parts saws are green, I need a rear handle from doing something stupid yesterday.

Tried to “unstick” a pinched saw and reefed too hard & busted the right side handle.

[emoji23], I know that su xed. Not too good on the rubber mounts or bar studs. I think we're all guilty of doing that.

You must have yanked that thing pretty good. I like pictures.

Early or late on the handle, early has the long rod and late has the hex in the center

Hey bob. Had same issue with red craftsman 3.4. New rings and low compression. Could get it to start sometimes but wouldnt run. I guess cause i kept yanking on it for couple months i musta broke it in cause it will now start and run. Been a while but thinking it pulls approx 110. Theyre well known for low compression anyway. Just sayin.

now looking for clutch cover, spark plug cover, and AF for gray craftsman 3.7. Dont mind green; can always paint if necessary

I checked and I have a red craftsman and black rear handle. I do have a green handle but it’s in two halves without any screws or inner workings. I believe I stripped it and repainted it a Year or so ago. I can get a pic of it if you want to put it together.

Well, I checked and the old rings showed a gap of .082 and new rings .075. A different cylinder showed a gap of .072 with new rings. Existing piston measures 1.804”. Newer one measures 1.805”. Just doesn’t seem to be that big a difference to cause such low compression.

Thanks Bob, I’ll get back with you on Wednesday, went to the deer woods yesterday & have limited phone service.

Will do, photo midweek when I get back.

Before I left, I grabbed an AZ61 rod & headed to the shop next door. Tigged the crack shut & thought I’d make it thicker on top for added strength...then the whole weld cracked on top when it cooled.

I was supposed to be in Vermont this past week for deer season. Alas no so this year.

 

[s sidewall]

I haven't been this year yet. Grandson which is 6 has done killed three so far. He loves going hunting.

Try some AZ92a. That rod seems to work well with the mag that is in chainsaws.

I'm not sure I'm posting in here the correct way or not. But I have a ew 3314 saws but have never ran them yet. How bad is the vibration compared to something like a stihl 211. It's the only other saw I have to compare it to

 

[Todd Loosli]

You are doing fine.
I'm working on a 3314 at this time, needs a carb kit, but what little I have run it there didn't seem to be much. I can tell you more tomorrow after I get it running better

 

[fossil]

I ran one a bit and didn't find it too bad but it should vibrate more than our 211

What you will find surprising is the power of that 33cc saw mostly because that and the 34XX, 38XX, 40XX and 42XX saws all use the same motor and carb so it's actually close to 42cc.

Hi Bob, sorry to hear your were unable to make your trip to Vermont this year.

Hi Bob, sorry to hear your were unable to make your trip to Vermont this year.

Yup. First time in almost 25 years. Don’t hunt very much anymore but sure enjoy visiting the local hunting camps.
