Poulan 3450

Received new piston kit and installed it. Started saw but had to adjust Lo needle 1 3/4 turns to get it to start, idle and rev okay. Hi needle is a 1.5 turns though I really have only run it for a second or so at wot, due to lack of bar and chain. New year will look for a 20 or 22 for it. Comp is at 180 cold and saw screams. Can't wait to get bar and chain and then fine tune Hi side to see what rpms are. Have posted pics but you'll have to open them as I can't. Using Picasa.

Yeah, was going to post them up for you but they're all the way across the page. :msp_ohmy:

Don't really know what I did. Trying to figure out how to reduce size in Piacasa.

Sorry

Here you go Bob. I use a image resizer through windows. You can download several different ones. That makes it real easy, just right click on the picture and choose resize picture and choose the size. I found that 800x600 works pretty well.

Oh and nice saw!

Mark, are you downloading the picture using windows or moving it to windows and then resizing

Redunshee,
I know your 3450 is a type 3, but notice the decals on the covers say its 3.3 cu. Where does it say it is 60cc on the emission and serial # tag? I have come to a few conclusions from what I have seen in researching the 3450's, all apparently have the same 3.3 cu in recoil and clutch decals (unless yours were changed), the type 1 had a green fuel tank and handle and the type 2,3,4 had a black tank and handle. type 3 had 60cc cyl, type 4 had chainbrake.

My 3450 is a type 2, however the muffler is not correct according to the ipl, mine appears to be a type 3,4 muffler.:msp_confused:

Good looking saw Bob! Im glad you posted about that saw. I would'nt have guessed there was a 60cc version of the 3450. So let me get this straight. That is a type3? And the rest are 54cc. Kinda makes me wonder about some of the other similar saws. My PP 380 is a type1 and is 60cc. made in 1997.


Gregg,

wow that pic is way to big to just paste in here.

Edit. but it seemed to work in the final post. I just opened your pic than copied the main url above and pasted it in the url box and took the check mark off.

Serial number ends in a 3. Also sticker says 60 cc. Piston and cylinder are 48cc. I believe the 54cc saw has a 44 or 45 cc cylinder.

Gregg,

Gregg, I was surprised to see it was 60cc. As far as I know Type 3 is 60cc and other types (1 thru 2) are 54cc..saw says it was made in 2000

I have a chart, it says 46mm for the 54 cc saws and 49mm for the 60cc saws. Not sure if the chart is correct but it sounds like it.

They all have a 32mm stroke if someone wants to do the math.
