Chainsaw Repair

This thread you did 2 years ago had some good pics and build info. http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/poulan/sleeper-3400/

I liked the 4000 I had, but never had a 3400 or 3700.

I'll merge and leave ALL HAIL for ya.

Done..........

You want me to get rid of missing pics?   

I finaly got around to modding one of my 3700's.  I set the squish on it down to about .022" and ended up with about 180psi on the compression.   I did smooth out the intake some but not as much as you have shown brokenbudgent.   I Left the carburetor stock and modified the muffler.   I widened the ports on the intake and exhaust and shaped the tops of the transfers towards the intake.   I did not change any timing of the ports.   I also advanced the timing about 3 degrees like you suggested.   I used it not to long ago on a cotton wood with a 20 in bar and a square ground chain.   
That is one cutting saw, and for firewood it is quickly becoming one of my favorites.   

I will have to try grinding out the intake alittle more on the next one I do.   I have a 3400 with a 3700 top end ready to put on it and just need the time to get to it for now. 

I also have another PP395 that I have not touched yet and plan on doing some similiar mods to it now that I know how good the mods improved the performance.    Thanks for the reply.

no idea why some of the old pictures dissapered. i see that sometimes in older threads but no idea why.

I have done the same myself and figured out why on my end. If I moved a pic from a file to another file or renamed the file it was in, it changes the link code. Then the pic dont show up anymore to where it was posted.

nope no vids as of yet. no wood here or at anywhere worth dragging up to the house still a little wet in the swamp, and nobody has any wood coming for a few weeks yet. when ever i can grab a log or 2 i'll post some vids. if i still have it new next door neigbour really likes it
