Seems to me like his plan is a little backwards. Then again I have a buddy with a 271 and he loves it. To each there own

Had a buddy drop off a couple saws for me to play with today. He's hoping I could maybe get one going again.

Poulan 5200. Needs a lot of work. Cylinder has metal transfer and all the rubber is rock hard. Hasn't run in over 10 years

Homelite super mini. Should clean up real nice. Seems to have good compression.

And finally this little Sears. I haven't really looked at this one much. I think it might be a parts saw or end up being a shelf queen. It won't even pull over. Get about a 1/4 turn and it locks up solid.

Rooting for the 5200.

Me too. I'm gonna tackle it first. Hoping to rip into it this weekend and make a list.

I've got a Husky 350 that could go back together tomorrow (just received the metal intake clamp today). Out in my garage, I've got a Husky 51 (burnt up top end) that I'll probably redo as a 55.

On the 350, I've read lots of posts about installing a 346XP top end on the 350 bottom. What's the benefit of such a combination? Thanks for helping me understand this...

I FINALLY got it all back together & happily running (with some online help by @Mattyo ). Initially, I'd installed a rebuild kit in the original Zama EL32 carb, but ended up being unable to tune the saw. The idle RPMs were varying up & down all over the place. I got a new EL32 (actual Zama), and installed it tonight. The saw started right up & was easily tuned by tachometer.

So just to update on the Poulan 5200. I don't think it's worth fixing . The top end is toast. The fw side case is busted, there is a lot of play in the crank. Plus it's gonna need all the fuel lines replaced, a carb kit etc. I think it would be a better parts saw. Oh well. I'm gonna talk with my buddy and see what he want to do with it.
Now the homelite super mini actually runs. Needs a carb kit and a few rubber bits replaced. Should be an easy fixer upper.
