Excellent effort men. Nice looking machine work, planning, and fit/finish. Even the air filter ass. simple but very effective and cleanable. Can't believe you fit that air box in that small area in the original filter spacing. Again good job guys!!!

Some pretty cool stuff there Todd. Nice work.
I bet that saw will talk the talk. We will be waiting on a video of that one running and gunning. I knew something didn't look right when I saw that decomp valve sticking it's little blue head out the side of the cover.

It's a special saw when ya get into how it all fits together.
It sure is when you consider that isn't the stock crankshaft
Nobody asked about that yet. Or cylinder or carb. Or or or....

Ok I have a dumb question. For winter projects I have been picking up all the cheap saws I can poulan or craftsman. I have been reading and looking at parts and it seems all the non strato saws use the same motor regardless of what the sticker says. I have been thinking trying to port one of these saws but have no clue where to start. Is there a good place to start reading on the subject
YouTube has all the info you can get for free
How many different saws you use to build this saw Todd?

As in what parts are what, because I started with the 3400 and got the other stuff one part at a time from this box or that shelf. The major parts are husky 395 cylinder and piston, poulan crankshaft and carb, have a clone 395 carb but it doesn't work well . Made the spacer and carb adapter plus the cylinder mount
A few pictures the white air box was to long so I made the black one from nylon. The spacer started out as a plywood prototype and ended with the aluminum one, lots of hours in it. I didn't have a band saw blade to cut it out so I used a 5/8 end mill. I'm thinking like 40 hours of cut and try and make sure I didn't cut to much away before I got a idea what it was going to look like. I really enjoyed this mind bender of a puzzle saw.

Muffler looks longer. Normally the front piece only protrudes by 1/2" or so. Did you modify it like the choke lever, Todd?

Okey, on a closer look you got a hybrid saw. Great job
Stock muffler with 2 openings and yes Green Ripper is a 98 cc hybrid. It's more like a work of engineering.
What stroke and bore you end up with?
You guys some crazy skills.
I know that one guys build was up there with stroked crank etc b 56mm x s 41mm was 101cc https://mfrindustries.com/poulan-3400-countervibe-race-chainsaw-project/
I used a crankshaft with a stroke of 39.7 and it fit in and the flywheel bolted on in the correct place, all I had to do was bore out the bearing holes from. 875 to .9055 ,23mm, and install new needle bearings. Used the same thrust washer and got new seals. Didn't have to make the crankshaft, lots of work doing that and the rod hooked up to the piston. Easy easy. Bore 56mm. You can get a 58mm cylinder for 105cc
Wow. Tools, talent, and drive. Very nice. Max.
