Poulan 5200 coil

[Chainsaw Jim]

I was wondering if the Poulan 5200 ignition coil has an rpm limiter. It is a two piece electronic capacitor discharge system.

Is it a Phelon 2 piece set up like a p41? The p41 set up is not limited.

I do believe I remember seeing the Phelon logo on it.
I was watching a video of it from the gtg and it sounds like it's bouncing off a rev limiter. I guess I'm glad that isn't what was causing that sound.

What carb is on it?

If it's that piped saw at the PNW GTG I don't think the carb is the stock HS-176 carb.

The 5200 did not have a rev limiter coil. Late '70's vintage.

What carb is on it?

It's running a tilly HR. That carb is a bit much for it, but it's the only one I have that fits the reed block I'm using.

Are you running stock reed valves Jim? Just asking as they don't behave well past a certain RPM point.

That's bad azz Jim. It would be nice to have something like that for the large p series saws.

I'm assuming a 3D printer would make a nice one.

Need to find someone with one lol.

Pretty slick setup!

I had to have a look and on all but three of the HR carbs listed on the Tillotson site have an "Economiser check ball", #20 on the IPL.

What the heck does that do?

That's the stopper in the main nozzle check valve. Is a floating ball instead of a flat piece of material.
