After it's all said and done, this near new 3400 which is all original (except fuel lines and filter) including bar and Poulan labeled Oregon chain,

will end up being a freebie, super clean and now runs as new again with the lines and filter replaced......

I like getting $50 024-026 pro runners! Your dollar to performance ratio is high! Great little saws!!

Had my buddy grab this very near new condition Craftsman labeled 3700 which should be a thin ring model for me while he was after a couple other saws the seller had, $35. clams.....

Picked this up last week for $240. 42" bar and chain is new. Unfortunately bar is For a Stihl. Jug cleaned up nice and brake system is mostly gone. I may not completely suck but I felt like it was a pretty good deal. Has a new Hd A 63 carb on it. Is this the correct carb for the saw

Yup. Did a little more research on this saw today. I may run it stock first then do some progressive mods to it. This saw has a stout bottom end

Grabbed this Ms260 for $50, guy had a 241 listed that turned out to be a 271 when I got there. Got to talking with him and he said he still had his old stihl that "died" took a quick look at it made a deal for $50, maybe not complete suckage but I think I did well.

Before and after pics. Only took about 40 minutes to get her cleaned, do a quick muff mod., add a wide weave screen, pull the limiters on the carb, flush the tank, new plug and tweak the carb. Runs pretty damn good. Piston looks perfect. Just need a recoil badge and bar nut and good to go.

Husky 281XP freebie from a co worker, apparently was retired when it got low on compression, from many years sitting the engine froze up, when I get time I'll see what its problems are.It looks quite good under the grime.

Traded a set of old big block chevy pushrods for this 026 red lever today. It was sitting under a the guys bench for 2 years. He thinks it needs a "carb or something". I think it will clean up real nice. The piston looks great. I need to order a 194 carb kit, rubber lines and it feels like the av rubbers are real bad. Hopefully I can make a nice firewood saw out of it. Ive never run an 026 but have been waiting for a deal on one for quite a while.

You suck! And remember the choke is in the airfilter and if the return spring is weak it can suck it shut when revving it.

The pic speaks for itself....the 461 is mine and I got a good deal on it.
