Poulan Pro 330 build (raffle saw for AdirondackStihl)

[Sleeper]

Found some wood screws that were the right thread, 1/4-20 had to trim them to the right length, .875" wasn't too much trouble. Front handle is now solidly mounted to the saw.

So, I will have to see if I have a bar and chain laying around to test the saw.

Still seeing a bit blurry when what I am trying to read is more than 6 inches from my face.

Finally got new glasses, so I can see now.

Anyhow, was working on this saw for a while today, finally got a tune set decently. Sounds strong, turns good rpm too. Fires right up. I did add seafoam to the gas mix to help clean the carb a little better. It worked like a charm getting the circuits in the carb clean, tune changed a lot as it ran.

Have to figure out a way to get the high side screw to not turn on its own while the saw is running. Thinking some washers under the spring? Not sure I have washers that small.

Will post a video soon of it running.

Try stretching the spring. I have a 3700 that went rich after about 20 minutes of cutting. I think shims under the spring might not let the needle close (no big deal) but you won't be sure how far out you are.

Put an o-ring on the H screw under spring.

Usually the limiter caps keep them from turning.
