Included a stop off into the round trip today while riding around with wife with promise of dinner.  = smooth   ;D

Muffler cover **** around 1 bolt area, missing 1 muffler bolt. Started up fine. Chain trash, bar might be OK. Top cover melted some where the left side shown due to muffler bolt was missing so halves were apart there.

After working I took a break to check it closer. Fueled up and appears tenk vent missing from area she leaks down from. Put bar oil in and nothing coming out yet. So few needs to look at.

Also took a pic of the vanguard chain on it. Got every penny out of this chain with what appears to be 30-40 degree cutters.

Bought this 3450 from unknown person to me. I was told runs good ready to go.  I didnt care as long as it had good PSI. 

Good thing.  :o    P+C look like new with witnness lines still on piston. But when I went in to see why oiler wasnt working.  Found that plus some.  :P  Just wow how this thing even started when the guy was showing it.

Also it might be a seal leak at bottom plus the tank vent leak. Cant really tell on the seal for sure till fix the tank vent to make sure it isnt just running down.

Have pics to upload later.

Lot of carbon in exhaust outlet, but piston looks great shape with witness lines still.

and the big surprise I found behind the oiler.

Good thing I bought this and not someone needing it for firewood  right now as it was listed.

Got me.  Guessing that seal in the oiler must have saved it some how.   

Just wild it was sold as good runner ready to go.

Carbon in the exhaust is from the bar oil it was eating.  Probably will smoke until the remaining oil is fluhed out of the crankcase/bearings and muffler.

Looks like he was running used motor oil for bar oil.  Yuck.
