Nice 3.3. I have to look and see if I still have one

Ok, who got the clean PP365 off e-bay? I didn't bid but that was a very nice saw for the price.

Here are a few of mine in that series which is my all time favorite of any saws and the most firewood supplying saws I have ever owned. I've had more new NOS ones than I will ever remember before I owned them lol. Some were of the shelf from Farm and Fleet, some were of the shelf from TSC and some were off the shelf from a very kind elderly dealer of pioneer and poulan out of North Webster Indiana that is gone now. I remember seeing a wrapped pallet of 505's sitting there in boxes as tall as me but I already had 2 NOS 505's I just purchased. My NOS countervibes that are long gone before I found this site were from the local Coast to Coast. One of my dads life long friends worked in their repair shop and when they sold out he went to farm and fleet so we had a inside guy for a good amount of time right through the beginning of TSC after Farm and Fleet sold out. He is gone now also.

Right now I only have 2-365's, 3-330's, 1-336, 1-335, 1-3500, 3-3450's and 1-3000 and a 3100 in this series. I have a few good 60cc top ends also. I prefer the larger carbed versions for sure although one of my 365's runs very strong even with the factory carb which is to small in my opinion.
I also have a couple countervibes...a few are not in the picture.

Some nice saws for sure there MS460woodchuck.

I had the Poulan 475 out today.
I bought this saw which was suppose to be a runner on ebay back in 2012. The saw stopped running about 2 weeks after I got it and had only been run a couple of times. So I tore it down and found bad crank seals the crank bearing were rusted and had some small flat spots on them. The out side of the saw did not look to bad though. So I rebuilt it. Kevin supplied me with a new piston and rings and Tim found the very rare PTO side crank seal.

The tear down which I did in Jan 2013.


I finished up that saw I think in Feb 2013. I got it out today and ran it. Thing still has really good compression and I did not modify this saw except for the muff mod. I was cutting up some elm and what a strong running saw it is.

I get the feeling those saws like the 335, 330, 3450, 365, 3500, 3750, are pretty popular. I know I have a bunch myself also.
I have done a lot of firewood with them. I know there is at least one or two I am forgetting. Is it the super 380?

 

[Maintenance supervisor]

Are the Walbro kits really any better than the after market kits?

Yes, some of the aftermarket ones like stens and Oregon are ok also.

 

[Maintenance supervisor]

What kind of carb issue would make a 4000 not start cold? It will start and run with a prime and will restart as long as it's warmed up.

I'd say the choke isn't closing or the low is too lean.

Yep. Super pro 380. Yellow/black version on a 3750, maybe a chainbrake difference?

 

[MS460WOODCHUCK]

Chainbrake is the same. 3 shoe clutch on the 380 and the good 137 carb

Thanks, I ordered a couple of the Walbro kits.

My 3750 has the 3 shoe. Not sure on the carb. The 330 use it?

 

[Big Dan]

I pulled the carb a couple of hours ago to do a rebuild and now it won't stay running. I'll work on it some more tomorrow. I used a 30 year old carb kit, could it be that the diaphragms are too dried out?

Most 3750s do not have a 3 shoe clutch and no the 330 does not have the 137 carb.

Interesting. My super pro 380 did not have the 3 shoe or my 3450 type 3. All 60 cc saws. You get down to the details in these saws and find some differences. Fun to learn

People change things on saws for whatever reasons. All 3 if my 380's had a 3 shoe clutch like they should. None of my 3450 type III ever did. Pretty sure my 380's also had the factory dual port muffler covers also.
