I just scored a Mac 10-10, a 250, and a Jonsereds 52E. The cord was frayed on the 10-10, and the Jonsereds has no spark, but I am very happy with my acquisitions.

Yes, it is, but it is unique enough that I am not going to replace it.

Another running saw followed me home today, a Skilsaw 1629 Type 3, made by PM in Vancouver, BC,. My understanding, is that it is the PM 340 with the Skilsaw logo. I threw a slug of gas into the carb, and it fired immediately.
Tomorrow, I have a line on one of the last production models of the Husky 2100 XP. I promised myself that I wasn't going to buy any more 2100s, but this one is too nice.

I was just quoting what some other poster stated in an old post on this site. I did not know enough about the saw to know that the information was incorrect.
My other saw in this family, has the brand name of Skilshop. Do you know why the difference in the names? It was also made by PM, and is a solid yellow colour. I noticed that on both saws, that the reason for the lack of paint is not wear, but because the paint did not adhere well to the body. I am guessing a lack of proper preparation, or just the wrong type of paint.
I also have a PM 380, and it shares the same cream colour, which is also pealing.
Did you restore your saw?
Here is the message I quoted from. No names, no pack drill.

"pm 340
...been lurking for a couple of days, your saw is how I knew the 1629 was basically a PM 340. Nice job on the resto, btw. I'm amazed you did that with rattle-cans.
And thanks for the tip on ebay, I just grabbed it. I think the reason it broke is that there is no gasket between the port and the muffler."

My other Skil saw is a Skilshop 1716. Do you have any idea which PM saw this equates to?

I picked up a SkilSaw 1631 not too long ago and it's a good runner too. At a glance it looks like yours. I think the 1631 is the same as the PM 340. I think I paid 15 bucks for it. Figured it was a good deal for a 69CC saw. The guys say they are kind of slow cutting for a 69 CC saw. Maybe I'll touch up the chain today and see how it cuts?
It cracks me up that they sold the same saw with a different model number, less bar. The same saw with no bar was the 1630.
Went to a local neighborhood yard sale today. Standing in a driveway and hear someone ask hey you selling your chainsaw...[emoji848]! Guy says ya i boughtanother one. I go take a look and see an orange case! I ask what model is it so he opens it up and i see a very clean 028av. He tells his buddy he had it at this dealer and paid $150 then to this dealer and paid another $100. Guy asks how much tou want for it? Guy said i want $50! The buddy walks away and i said ill take it. I pay him and he pulls a drawer open on a tool box and pulls out a new 16" Stihl bar and says here take this too! It fired up on the 5th pull and oils well!

my 340 is not restored.
your skilshop looks like either. i have a hard time tellin the 1629 from 1631 w/o seein top.
pic of 380?
i got 2 others - 270 & 360, both 95cc, both repaints, as they were wrong colors when i got em.
paid $50. ea. but they both got some time in em.
Saw a CL ad for a 10-10 and called the man to look at it , list for 100$ he told me he had a pro mac 55 in non running condition but that doesn't stop me .
Bothe saws have great compression and the 55 pops off with prime ( its had a ham fisted life though.) The 10-10 just runs but needs tuned . After talking to the guy at his house for awhile he asked what I'd give for the both of them and I offered 80.00 ? Done deal!
Being that I felt like I got a good deal I asked him if I find some saw stash some time if he was interested in a brand ? I off handily said old poulans? He said "no" and made me take a 3400 antivbe for asking!
might be repaints, but they are lookers!
