    Don't forget you will need a 425 and 445 as well.

    I told Mike we would have to see who would be the first to scold me for that!

    You did notice I had to relase the chain brake after doing that?

    Yeah I saw that. You still know better mister! I've caught myself doing that once or twice too.............and that was with a Homelite C5 (which has no chainbrake or throttle lock of any kind, for those that don't know). I actualy set the saw down and scolded myself as it idled next to me. I like my fingers (they're good booger hooks), and .404 would take them away in a hurry...

    As your punnishment, I'm confiscating one of your Poulan 25DA saws. Let's make it a red Craftsman version. Oh wait...........you already sent one to me!

    We go through the same thing at work sometimes. They check us to be sure a Scott Air Pac mask will seal on the face. I've had to trim my 'stache a bit before...

    Don't tune old saws with a tach!
    Tune the H side so that it burbles (four strokes) at WOT unloaded and just cleans up when under load. When you lift cutting pressure, the saw should revert to four stroking.

    Mark and I shared a laugh about who would be the first to make a stupid comment about that before they watched the video close enough to see that he set the chain brake BEFORE reaching down there and removing those noodles and clearly released it afterward before resuming his cutting!!!LOL

    Second. How do I get the clutch off to change the sprocket? Also where can I get the sprocket and chain?

    Third. What tool do I need to adjust the carb, and where can I get it.

    Fourth. Will this thing respond well to a muff mod?

    Lastly. And most important is this thing worth all that effort or should I sell it, I know I can get my money back.
    It's probably 42cc, Poulan just uses one engine and sells em under different displacments, made it cheaper that way.

    I use a rope and put it down the spark plug hole to stop the piston, and use a vise grip on the clutch.

    This the splined tool you need.

    It definitly will repond to muffler mods. In fact thats the basically the limiting factor with these saws.

    It's well worth the effort and with a little TLC will surprise most people what that big box store saw can do.

    S25da

    I just got back from the barn after playing with 2 of the three saws I picked up today. To my suprise the Husky fired up and ran like a new saw. It has suffered from a loose mufler and lost heat shield so I have a hole melted in the top of the oil tank, but that is not a big deal, a little epoxy will fix that. It runs and revs great.

    The S25DA was a pleasant suprise. I pulled the exhaust system and the P&C look like new. It has a lot of compression and a hot spark. I put a little mix in the spark plug hole and it fired right up. The fuel tank was full of old stuff, I will need to drain it and see if it will run with good fuel in the tank. It is my first experience with one of these little saws. I am impressed with the build quality. That muffler in not going to crack and fall off like the one on the husky.

    I think the S25DA is going to become one of my favorite small saws.

    They are really a little powerhouse of a saw. I enjoy mine immensely. My Father in Law has a Stihl saw of similar size (or nearly), a 211 I think????, he likes to make fun of my poulans until the wood cutting starts!

    Most folks think of it as a limbing saw, or for bucking small firewood, but I use mine regularly to fell hardwood trees up to 16".

    Its the one saw I always have in my truck around the Ranch.

    I wish your father in law could experience my 330, 375, 3400 3700, 4200 or my 8500. I think he would get an education.

    Mabe others will chim in but that cap has a duckbill valve in the center of it to allow air in and not let fuel out. The PN for the duckbill valve for the bigger saws is 530026119 it may be the same. That saw also uses a cork gasket around the rim of the gas cap.

    I'll bet your duckbill valve is missing. Is there a star shaped metal ring inside the cap top? If so, that seals the duckbill valve inside the cap.

    Like redunshee said the valve is replaceable, if the star washer is still there pry it out and get a new valve for it, then push the star back in, done. Duckbill valve PN 530026119
