POULAN The Official Poulan Thread

anyone know of 4000 af available?

That line of saws typically have pretty low compression. Squish on those is usually about 0.040"

If it's at 140 psi I think you're good to go. It will run strong at that number.

Aftermarket seals for those are SKF CR6119 and CR6120 as well as National 253747. The National seals tend to have a case diameter a little more than .001" larger than the SKF seals and can be tougher to seat.
National is now owned by Timken.

The bearings are BH-108 full compliment drawn cup needle bearings. They tend to be a bit sloppy and most I've checked (new and used) have a radial play around .005".

I can PM you a link to a good repair manual if you want.

Thanks a lot Brother, lil red barn has piston and rings. Maybe cylinders too. Need paint that is plastic compatible. Think I will get a set of 3400 decals.

I don't know what a af is. Air filter?

Better still, you need a paint that is fuel resistant. Most rattle can paints will blister off if gas gets on it.

You can use a spray enamel and coat it with an enamel clear coat.

The best one I've used is
PlastiKote Engine Enamel, Product #229 clear

Thanks for all your help Fossil. I'm going to try to get everything around prior to starting. Never did this before. Hope to make a quick project out of it.

Hello fellers. Does anyone have a NOS, or used but known to work correctly, oil pump for a poulan 20D saw? Preferably the one with the manual option. Thank you.

I have the 54 cc version which is a 336. It's a great saw. I figure the 365 wouldn't disappoint.

Maybe if you buy it you can bring it to the GTG in Aug Randy.

Be a nice addition i think.

go get it

I had one that I cleaned up and passed along. Probably the easiest saw I have ever worked on and the performance was good even though the saw was well used.

I finally got ahold of a 5200! I'm super excited! Any of you guys know of a satin black spray paint that will hold up to gas? I need to get the top cover painted. Hopefully tomorrow I will get it in some wood to get it tuned well but seems to run great!

The engine paint section of the auto parts store is a good place too look.

That makes sense... sometimes my brain doesn't really think things through

Looking for a top cover, air filter cover and air filter for a poulan pro 305/335/3300 etc. Does not need to be pretty just functional. Here's what I'm working with.

 

[countryhog]

Any of you guys ever split the case on a poulan 2000? SM says no gasket but calls out a poulan liquid gasket. Ya suppose motoseal will do the trick?

 

[S Sidwell]

That or Hondabond

Got it split, cleaned, and reassembled using motoseal. Probly pressure test tomorrow. We’ll see.

 

[CrystalRiver1]

I would say try the Low speed at 2-1/2 turns out like you found it and go from there.

Hey Steve,

Have you ever did a muffler mod or ported a Poulan 5020?
Just curious a guy has one for $50---hasn't run in two yrs he says...
