POULAN The Official Poulan Thread

Sawfun , Does Yours have the manual oiler and I noticed that the bottom handle is all Plastic? Mine looks a little different and I do now have the correct choke lever for it.

I'll check mine out more this weekend and let you know on the oiler. Yes my whole handle us plastic. If I recall, the 166 handles fit.

I wonder if any one knows how many different variations there are of the S-6000? I think they only listed it for three years. I have seen pics now with different handles and bucking teeth and almost all with full wraps.Sure would be nice to see a side by side comparison. I believe some had different carbs Walbro and Bing?

I had some time to strip down 3 junked saws and put this combo together this past weekend. These are impressive cutters if you ever get the chance to pick one up. Right in line with my 026 but sounding and looking much finer IMHO. Performance/$ - these are winners. A tad loose with the friction fit on the tank vent nipple. Motoseal to the rescue for now.

Nice looking saw! Nice work!

I picked this ole girl up off cl for $20. The guy who was selling it said it was his uncles that had passed away, and he knew nothing about it. I haven't cleaned it at all and the air filter is perfect along with everything else. Fixed the rewind spring someone had previously tried to repair, but installed backwards. She was missing the flywheel key. Other than that, fuel lines, fuel filter and carb kit she will be good to go. I don't know a lot about these 306's so anyone is welcome to comment on pros and cons. Thank you.

I have one in Craftsman colors. No anti vibe but I didn't find it vibrated too badly. I like it.
It seems to have decent power and it's pretty light weight for an older saw.

I would like to get my hands on a 245A if one comes up for sale near to me.

Sounds good can't wait to get it running.

I concur with Tim.

I might add, the dust seal can deteriorate between the crankcase and reed/manifold that seals the carb box. If it does, air will bypass the filter. Something worth checking and replacing if necessary.

I will look into that for sure thank you. I just ordered a carb kit, fuel tank gasket, fuel filter, and flywheel key. Picking up fuel line from my dealer this week and this ole girl will be ready to fire up. I was shocked I could still find the tank gasket without a problem.

EEK, gads Mark what, are you into green saws now or is that one just envious, as it should be, of all the yellow saws . You do know that if you must have a Poulan saw, they came in yellow, the respectable color .

All kidding aside Mark. For a 33cc saw you would be hard pressed to find one that cut faster. I got one with a saw I wanted and fixed it up to sell. It cut way better than my 30cc Echo.

Nice gesture either way by the person that left it for you. (Unless they left it for you to fix.)

I got that MAC crest you sent me sewn onto my saw hat. It looks great.

I talked to a fellow yesterday and he seems to have a lot of Poulan NOS and obsolete parts.
His name is Buford Parrish.

He is a little more than an hour up the road from me. I believe he also has some Wright saw parts as well.

That 2050 is just coming for some TLC, hoping the normal fuel system and carburetor will bring it back to life. I just pulled it over and the compression does not feel too impressive, I will run a compression check before doing too much.

This one will have to wait until a Mini Mac project is completed. I told the owner at least $100 to make it right and he said go ahead...

Wow,are those nice looking saws.

Wow,are those nice looking saws.

Thank, I put a new topend on the 505. I then made a cut in 30" white oak to test it. Wow it has torque and speed and pulled that 32" bar much better than the 850 pulled it's 32" bar. And the 850 ain't no slouch either, however I could lean on the 505 noticeably harder.

The 475 will be getting a finger ported jug that came with the 505. We shall see at the gtg how those two fair against each other and some strong 5200's.
