Poulan HYBRIDS

[Ronie]

The last thing is the muffler. I used the original mufflers. I had a couple of the 034 muffler spacers so I put some studs in the cylinder, hung the spacer on it, got the muffler where I wanted it and tack welded it to the spacer, then finished up the welding off the saw. Once I got the welding done, I just had to drill new holes for the bolts and cut the exhaust opening. that took care of the back half of the muffler. For the front half, I welded the original bolts to the back half so that I could bolt them together.

His phone needed charged so he ask me to post my build.

Then I'll follow you Ronnie cause I have 2 Poulan 3300's.

Here's how they run, a little over a hundred in each of the saws and I had a great time building them.

I clearanced out the plate for the cylinder and the transfers. Now with the plate and two head Gaskets I have .019 squish.

I used a very large belt sander to make room for the flywheel.
I am impressed with the amount of material that can be removed from the cylinder.

With the drastic differences between the poulan and husqvarna mufflers, I ended up using a 346xp muffler.
My top cover fit without modifications, its tight but fits. The decomp button kinda gives it away.

I used the original intake boot and carburetor . My only parts on hand started with just the unknown origin cylinder.

I want that muffler! Lol

Apparently muffler bolts take longer to travel anywhere from Amazon, so Ron kindy sent 2 my way.
I put a side port on the muffler because the top outlet is covered by the cylinder cover. @Red97 supplied the deflector and then some, seriously a great guy to do business with.

Im pretty pleased by the way it still looks like a poulan.

Awesome builds guys!

Removing the oil pump gear is achieved with some random plumbing fittings.
This had to be done to remove the crank . I also replaced the pto crank seal and all the lines.

First attempt revealed that I had a pinched impluse line.

After fixing the impulse, it started on the second pull and idles very well. Really no weird stuff going on and although I didn't port it or modify the cylinder in any way it runs very well.

Honestly I think it could use a timing advance .
All I could find was a 3005 stihl mount bar in .325 ,which seems to work pretty good.
I got a roll of the chain from @Duke Thieroff .

Happy new year, OPE and thank you for making this a pretty drama free forum.

I don't know if I told you but I took .040 off the keys in my builds.

 

[Maintenance Chief]

Yup, I was waiting to see if my was gonna actually run before I went back into it.
They are a pretty decent saw to work on though.

Pretty sweet builds guys!
