Well now I know haha! Guess I should have waited until I had that apart.
Are the reed valves something that should be replaced?
Don't worry about it see pm
Are the previous 5200 ring availability posts about the thin ring part number 530023645?
Yes that was the talk
I hope they show up. If I remember, they were NLA in the past

The twins, both with fresh sawdust on them.
They sure look good all dusted up. How did they do. They might be yellow but they are not lemons. I like the color

They did great, they are strong running 3400s, they very well could have the original bars on them. I believe they are both very low time saws. The left one has the date stamp of 88 on the recoil and plastic parts and was complete. The rt saw has 87 date code on plastic parts and had no recoil so it now uses a green recoil recoil from a parts 3700 I aquired. When I pulled the carbs apart, I had never seen cleaner carbs on used saws. There was almost no sawdust under the oil pump covers. Neither needed carb kits and only the right saw needed fuel lines and filter. I did leave the right saws muffler as stock, wanted to compare it against the left with the screen removed, holes in spacer enlarged and a extra side vent /louver port. They seem to run the same, both very strong.
They are made in Canada saws, and the brakes work fine.
The left saw had the carb needles and idle speed screw lock tighten with red. There was also a black piece of plastic that both needles were threaded threw and no springs on the needle shanks. Never seen the likes of this before.

Poulan on a Saturday afternoon.
In for the night. Tomorrow I’ll fire up the Kenmore and wash some parts.

looks like someone it getting ready for surgery.
Just prepping for Post Op lol.
Nice to see someone else uses the puppy pee pads. Other than dirty as hell it's a nice looking pile of parts and will be a great saw when it's back together. It's nice to follow along with the project

Wish I had a pic of how my tools end up off front of benches and piled on right side
. Every now and then I have to put everything back up in order. See if I got them in a pic. Oh well just the start of the pile on right.
