Well I got floored today. I thought all poulan 3300 were 54cc and bare bore chrome piston.

ms460woodchuck can you take a pic of the top of the cylinder on the one I traded you?  I might come across a pic of when I had it, but just in case.


To start off I set this 3300 on the shelf about a year half ago or more. Today I pulled it down and first thing I notice it has fins on the top of cylinder. I looked at sticker and it did say 54cc    and date of 2003.

What dates were the 3300 made? I know somewhere in mid 80's to ??

So I had to dig deeper and found a chrome bore swooped transfers 49mm 60cc top on this saw.   

Somebody swapped top ends there.  Does a 3500 or 3600 have that style transfers?

Tag on Mark's 3300 and my other 3300 type 3 was the same as this one.

No pics Kevin but mine is not 60cc. I am growing partial to my 3000. The thin double rings seem to make the 3000 have more snot than my 3300 even thought the bore is less. I wonder what my 3000 would run like with the bigger carb and air filter set up off of a 3450/330...hmmmm

I was planning on putting a 60cc on the grey craftsman poulan 3000    with big intake and carb from 330 etc.  Ask 3000 fps I told him this a few days ago.

Had a poulan 305 and loved it should have never parted ways with it or the 335. But I dont grow partial to nothing. I actually had to price a saw at the mini gtg today.

I thought the 60cc 3500/3600 saws had the same 'smaller' pattern as the other earlier smaller displacement saws, while the 3450/3750/330/380 saws had the larger pattern.  I may be mistaken however....
