Avoiding that is the very reason Id rather ask questions first instead of experimenting.

Long weekend up here in for me. Storms rolled through last Thursday and did lots of damage. Several confirmed touchdowns in my area. Spent part of Saturday and Sunday hauling brush and cutting up a silver maple. First real tree that I've cut up actually so I had a blast. The rebuilt Makita 6401 handled it like a champ and was a dream to run. Only time I broke out the ms361 was when stupid me got the bar pinched in an undercut. Really dumb mistake looking back. I ended up cutting most of the tree so I got out of pulling brush. On the vintage side of things, Grandpa brought out his Jonsered 90 and I ran that for a little bit. Chain was on the dull side but still hogged away that wood! Nice power but I appreciate the antivibe on the makita very much.

No pics of the smurf saw stuck in the cut? I take pics when I do that to serve as a reminder.Long weekend up here in for me. Storms rolled through last Thursday and did lots of damage.

If there are pictures, there is evidence that it happened, this way I can always recant what I said later on in the future. I'm learning something from school, can't say what thought haha. Naa, I didn't think about it at the time. I wanted to get the saw out in case the branch let go I didn't want the saw between a hard place and another equally hard place. I kinda like the saw yet.

With statements like “recant” and “evidence” maybe you should change your major to political science.
I just finished this ‘88 poulan 3300 up. It was dirty from years of sitting. Very little use and the inside is just as clean. Original 20”x.325” bar and chain. I replaced the fuel and pulse lines. Runs excellent, as have all the saws I’ve had in this series. 3.3 ci 54cc I believe. Great firewood saws

Autosol. Put a dab on a rag then use just 1 finger and lightly polish away the top coat (orange in this case) and it will also polish the base coat. But be careful because if you polish too much you will wear the paint away all the way down to bare metal.

No bucking spikes on that 3300, my 2800 came with spikes.

Nope. Most that have come across my bench (25+) have had the spike. However, the fact that there is no paint worn off that oil tank further proves this saw is low hour. The dawgs protect the tank so those saws are always scratch free.

Haha, I know. That's what the affect I was aiming for. All the talk in the media now days with all that nonsense I couldn't help but say that.

Very nice, so it has the true 83cc top end?

Thought it was 82 but it's been a while since the build, you may be right. Very short stroke for the bore. Stock other then muffler, tuned in wood but when checked it was at 14200 RPM. Real screamers once muffler modded. As fast as I got it parts dried up, so I decided to save it rather then go further with mods. It gets compared to the 288xp a lot, or did anyway. It's got a much bigger footprint and won't pull as big of a bar. I think they missed the boat on this saw, they should have tried to make a mid 70cc killer rather then a 100cc size saw in the low 80 cc range. Still extremely well made saw though. Has the duct taking pressurized air from the flywheel to feed the carb like some J-reds had.
