First Attempt Build Old poulan 4000

[Woodslasher]

I have a new Oregon on now. Old original is Windsor

Take a pic of the stamps on the nose, those are all you need to order a new tip.

Hey Brother Woodslasher;. I took bar into shop and got tip ordered and result was NLA. I will try another shop, but the one I used is big for this area. Thanks

Like woodslasher said tips for Windsor bars can be found. Post up a pic makes it easier to figure out what style you have.

What are we looking at Brother Wayne?

So it's a Echo 590 carb on an old Craftsman 3.3 and if I remember correctly @Termitebuffet had to use the choke shaft assembly off the original carb to make the linkage work.

Not sure if it will help your 4000 but the info can't hurt.

I tried to buy a cs620 carb for my 4000 by saw again was sold out and that's at near $100 tax and shipping included. Looking for less costly alternative. Is cs670 or 680 carb a option? Also what about impulse?

Is there a link or content on why the Echo 590 / 620 carb is preferred on the counter-vibe series saws?

 

[Thesandman]

It's on its way. A echo cs620 carb for $100otd locally. Found a dealer that was willing to deal. Pulan 4k is getting a lung transplant. If it doesn't work out I have a good running 590 that it will fit. Still would like to know about 670/680 carbs. One reason people might like them Kenny is they are hda carbs.

The Craftsman 3.3's came stock with HDA 49 carbs (pretty expensive)
I could be wrong, but it may have to do with venturi size.

It has everything to do with larger carbs, the hda,s are similar in linkages.

Well I got my new carb today. $5 less than quoted. $95 otd.

Alright carb guys. Will it hurt to mount a carb upside down? Can I switch cover with impulse line for cover without, by drilling carb body for internal impulse and using diaphragm that matches cover? Thanks

 

[Thesandman]

Where can I attach a impulse line on old poulan? Thanks

Well I have cylinder done and started reassembly. I got new rings from lil Red Barn and they aren't right. Right ones should be on the way so I have to send these back. The old rings were bout done as I put them in a different cylinder and that wore em pretty fast. Oh and they were 48years old and cut alot of wood.
