That diaphragm is not looking too bad as far as I can see. Long as theres no holes in it, it should work.
Working on old saws means alot of times you have to make gaskets.
Don't forget to put the spring under the diaphragm when you put it back together. Also make sure that the check valve under the pump that the pickup line hooks to works only one way.
Well the first thing is all that plastic, and your right theres alot more on this series.
On the other hand my 3300 weighs about a full 2lbs less then my 3400. The world is full of comprimises.
The 2 shoe clutch on most of the series is like you say, not a robust, but I guess they don't really need to be as they seem to seldom have trouble with them. It seems there about the same clutch as the Husky 261 and lots of guys still run the 2 shoe clutch on there 262 converted 216's without complaints.
The Super 380 did have a 3 shoe clutch that will bolt in place of any of the 2 shoe clutch's if you would want to.
The antivibe is not any worse the the 3400 series saw and alot tougher, see how many 3400 series saws have replacement rear handles on the or the buffer mounts on the back of the case broken off.
It goes without saying on the better air filters.
As far as cutting performance, the 3400 is a little bulkier and I like these controls better myself, they also seem to cut about the same speed. Not a big difference anyway.
I do belive the full roller bearings are a much better setup then the 3400 series caged needle brgs and thrust washers so I dont see where you say the 3400 series saws will last longer.
The gear driven oilers are much better then the impulse oilers on the others as well especially for longevity. I do say that I don't like impulse oiers for the most part but the 3400 series and the 25 series at least do work well. The adjustable gear oilers will just work well longer.
You asked.
Been blowin' and suckin' on that rascal allready.
Thanks again for the IPL and Service instructions.
Working on this oil pump, I'm having flashbacks to my XL2 (first chainsaw, ever) I got at a garage sale 15 years ago. Very similar setup except the Homie had lots of hose. All of which were just so much crushed macaroni. That was a real puzzle. First got it running I had the engine sucking bar oil direct from the tank. Big smoke cloud.

Some people snarl when they see a little Poulan Saw, but this 36cc 2075 has been a real workhorse on the ranch for many years. When it went belly up last fall, I was about to toss it out except for the memories of its past usage. So I began cleaning it up, and one thing led to another. The old busted primer bulb and crumbling fuel lines were replaced. A new Spark Plug and Bar were added, and this critter came back to life like Mighty Mouse. I didn't know I had it in me. Heh - Heh..
Fixin to tackle this job of replacing the Sprocket. Ordered the tool and part, so there ain't no stoppin now.

Poulan 71a
I picked up a Poulan 71a last night and am thinking about muffler modding it.:jester:
What's the through hole in the top of the casting for?
Can somebody post the pics for me? I can't get them to attach from my phone.
Compression feels strong. I'll put a gauge on it and have a little more time to mess withit this evening.

A fellow about an hour from me has a 71A for sale. According to Mike Acres site they are 93cc's but look to be older than the purported 1970-75 years of manufacture given it looks to be sand cast. He is asking 85 clams for a non runner... Any thoughts?
If it has a good top end as mentioned earlier then I would get it. If the top end is bad you can replace it with the following models. The super 72 and 71A and 71 all use the same top end. The model 54,super68, and 53 will also work but are around 80 something cc. However, super 66,68,80 series, 30 series, and 40 series will not work. The piston out of 92 and 91 is the same as a 72 but cylinder is different. I like the 71A best with a bow. When using a bow you do not even feel the vibes and the weight of the saw is more manageable.

It's already found a new home.

If your clutch looks like I think it does, I'd use a drift and hammer to loosen it. First place a length of rope in the cylinder to stop piston. Be sure you don't lower the piston too much or your rope might get stuck in the intake or exhaust port. An inch or two shold be fine. Then give the drift a couple good hits(clockwise) and it should spin off. You'll need to use the rope even if you wait for the clutch tool.

Why would you MM a saw that basically has no muffler anyhow?

Why or how? I thought the jester smiley would imply that it was a joke, maybe not?

Gottcha. In your quote you describe using a 'DRIFT'. I presume that's a DRIFT PUNCH' ?

I recognize those rags, who works at the hospital?

My son is a registered technician at the Hosp Cath Lab. His team inserts Heart Stents to keep us old folks going for a while longer. They worked on me not too long ago.
p.s. Yep; those rags along with other surgery items get tossed in the trash whether they've been used or not. So he retains the un-used ones from time to time and brings them to the shop.

Old Poulans!
Look what happens when you don't check for a while--a Poulan thread and 473 pages! Have two 3700's, both working, done several repairs on both. Bought my first one (3400) in 1983 from a small logging shop in the Slocan valley ("Iz gud saw but Gud demn loggers von't buy--iz not orench!--dey all vant orench!"). Got stolen. Replaced it with an O34--got stolen (we have druggies here). Bought one 3700 on ebay, then got another for parts. Turned out both were so good I got them both running; used regularly, one with 18" bar and one with 20". Excellent saw, but not good for logging; handle castings have thin parts prone to breaking--even I tripped over one and broke it. Repaired again thanks to ebay.
Compliments Homelite 750 on big end, Makita 16" electric(!) on other. Bought a PP 2036 as an interim saw, constant trouble with the oiler; just not a serious saw.
