Gologit, Didn't start this thread to be stalked and called a BS'er. Provided pictures, links etc.... Didn;t intend to be "stalked" on a thread you moderate. Didn;t intend to get into an argument with anyone. Sorry.

Yeah, that;s me. I'm full of $^#$%. Just go away troll. You've nothing to offer here. Go away. Get a job, or something. Ever build a saw, or do you simply like trying to pick fights on the internet? Tough guy! Yeah, right. It's idiots like you who discourage folks from posting their projects and...

Thanks for the information. I'll post the numbers when I actually get the saw in a couple of weeks. I got it with case for $55. Guy stated he spent 3 hours refurbing it. Cleaning, fuel lines etc... Gotta say, I'm really digging on how well built the metal Poulans are. No experience with the...

You may be correct, especially if the new kits come with cylinders as "rough" as this one.

No. it took two weeks. Could have gotten a 046 a week ago for $169. I don't have a 046 to build. Notice the above quoted post? States what I told you, $159. At least I'm honest, you're not. I provided my observations on a recent cylinder purchase. I didn't have to. I'm trying to be helpful to...

This one sure looks low quality to me. That's what I'm saying. Hopefully it'll perform. Haven't used a Stihl branded cylinder yet, so don't have an opinion, yet. Thanks for putting up the quote where I stated I could get OEM for $159. Polar guy was wrong again, as usual.

Polar guy, I don't like you. My point on the other thread was why would someone buy AM when for the same price, thereabouts, they could find OEM. Split hairs all you like. You've been proven wrong. Even if OEM costs $20 more, you'd be a frickin idiot to go AM. A frickin idiot!

I don't know. I measured the pin last night and it's definitely 12mm. Maybe he had it in the wrong box? Regardless, I don't believe MS 440 cylinders came without a decomp. None that I've seen anyway. I paid $144 for the kit last week. I have to say, I think I stated I could get them for around...

This is what the saw looks like.

Yes, I'm the guy who said he regularly get OEM kits for around $159, and I have gotten several, this one included. Several more available, and for "pro" Stihls (check Ebay, search stihl oem cylinder). This is the first Stihl branded cylinder I've ever bought, the rest have been Mahle. The...

I just received my "won" Ebay 044 piston and cylinder. This kit is new OEM. The piston and rings seemed normal, but the over-all cylinder quality looked a bit less than I'm accustomed to. I have always bought Mahle Stihl cylinder kits and they have always looked great. This was the plain Stihl...

Craftsman 3.7 I just had my brother pick up a CL purchase of a Craftsman 3.7 - 18" in Eugene, Or. From the pictures it looks just like a Poulan "counter-vibe" in red. Anyone know the exact cc's of this saw? I'm guessing 60cc. Search revealed conflicting information. Some say its a 3400, 3700...

That is one impressive oak sir! Rivaling the big soft-wood cedar I bucked up last year. Wow!

You can get Episan piston/rings from site sponsors for around $30, combined with new seals and shipping it's about $45'ish, or, you can buy a new OEM engine off the 'bay for $79.99 + shipping. Cheaper than a new lil saw...

I'm with Zogger. Most of the bucking up of logs 18"24" gets done with an 039, just because I'm still breaking them in, but the smaller stuff the Poulan SDA25 eats up. I believe a top handle is a must when cutting up firewood, unless all you're doing is rounds.

No old green Poulans? Great saw and well designed. Hardest part about them is finding some of the parts. They're all NLA, at least the parts I've been in need of have been, and scarce. 029/290's are most popular here. Husky Ranchers too, but I've never done anything more than fuel lines / carb...

A couple of 036/ 064/ 065/ 070/ 084 088 /090 kits might be in there, along with some NOS oil pumps for 028's. I'd settle for just a full box of Walbro carb kits and misc Stihl fuel lines and impulse lines. Those add up real quick.

The stuff of dreams. A gold mine for saw nuts. Only one was an original 039, the rest started out as 029's. All the OEM cylinders are either Mahle, or Stihl branded. Some have decomps, which I've plugged, and some don't. Unsure about the decomp question. The only "real" 039 I have doesn't have...

I only deleted it because it was childish internet BS. Only posted my observed opinion based upon the woods I've been cutting with both saws, at the same time. Both are fresh and had new chains. 30"+ wood may indeed show a remarkable difference. I doubt the oiler on a 039 could handle a bar...
