POULAN The Official Poulan Thread

[fossil]

Rebuilding my XXV micro and forgot how easy it is to dump the needle bearings. I remember now. I managed to find 12 and reinstall. Us that the right number?

I forgot to count mine when I dumped them. LOL

The IPL says 12 so you should be good to go.

I have two 4200 recoils,they're both kinda sloppy and hang up. Is there a common repair for this?

 

[fossil]

Did you take the pulley off, clean the post and inside of the pulley, grease it, and reassemble?

Not yet but I can see that the pulley is loose on the post. I could turn a bushing if necessary.

What are the fuel and oiler line sizes for a poulan XXV and for a 3800?

Classic Poulan 401 I picked up with a few other saws the other day, runs very strong, looks to be a low hour saw......

I despise the 475 415 air filter and tank set ups. So my mission to put updated tank and filter set up.

The 415 475 mesh air filter and the rubber tube and metal ring on tube I'll sell for $15 and shipping. Air filter NLA new unless you find NOS. On LEFT lower corner last pic.

Hey Kevin, couldn't that section that holds the air filter on the old style tank assy just be cut out out and the new style filter then be put in, or is there more to it?

Yep and I do it to air filter covers when needed too.
But most times the older tank has a issue already so I just swap them.

Plus if the tanks are good I sell the older ones off to guys restoring 475's.

Any poulan Tim Allen BadBoy collectors needing a 22" bar for their TA BB saw?
I dont want to run this screen printed one figuring someone may want it for looks on their saw. Its used in good shape and the printing on it is what is left. Both sides shown. Open to trades or sell outright.

Picked this up today needs a little tlc but compression feels good. @Cut4fun do you know the bore measurement to make sure it is the 60cc version?

I got this whole pile for $25. Not a bad deal in my opinion!

If iirc it's a 49mm bore. And that is a you suck deal.

Thanks Wayne, I think it's a "you suck" deal too, I thought about posting it in the you suck thread but it's kind of a Poulan thing... they wouldn't understand

You can also tell by the fins on the cylinder, 49mm has a row of vertical fins on top, the 46.5mm has only horizontal so it's flat on top.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Ran my least pretty, non-psp, previous owner abandoned, 026 killer - all day long today. Felt good. Really good.

Are you running .325? And I need to get my little ugly duckling 2800 going.
Anyone got any tips on "fixing" this?

 

[Hoggwood]

Running the OEM setup. 0.325" on a 7-pin rim. Douglas fir is pretty forgiving, so I can get away with an 18" bar.

I've split a couple of my 3000's, but I don't recall the type of stud they have. I am going to say they are threaded all the way through into the bar pad. Looks like that is not an original stud? Could pick up a new stud and tap an E-Z Lok insert or such. Figuring those threads in the bar pad are FUBAR.

Yeah the way they looked I was thinking of switching them over to a metric stud.

Little something I ran across a couple weeks ago. She runs very well. I like the way she pops when she's just idling.
