    Husqvarna 346 OE 45cc Echo 490 50cc

    It's getting closer. Just cant find early OE decal anymore so the later OE one. Decals no big deal to me as it is a tool. But if I do flip it. Buyer may like having oem decals.

    Husqvarna 346 OE 45cc Echo 490 50cc

    This OE xpG one used to put a hurting even on the 50cc ones gtg racing done by other folks. Both ported by same guy. I ran 3/8. I will say though it needed chained right though. Running the 50cc one with same chain that was more aggressive, you could feel the difference if got heavy handed...

    Nik's Poulan Thread

    I found a new piston in a bin other day I forgot about. Meteor piston kit and box didnt say anything for what saws on it. Roger sent it to me with his old scored 475 piston when I mailed him a NOS piston like 11 years ago. I checked that old meteor piston today. One Roger bought for 475 but...

    Weird messed up recoil setup on bicentennial Poulan , help?

    Dang your right. Page 4 in SM on how to do fuel line but nothing on routing. I ask those guys in my group if they remember. Still betting behind fly.

    Can this be a fake?

    Sure looks oem. What would make you think that one is fake? Left OEM and right clone fake.

    Like a brand new saw under the grime. Just air and wipe down. 1 owner 1986 61. Guy forgot he even owned it and was cleaning his shop out. Cuts fine like a 61.5cc should. 48mmx34mm open port if recall right. See why folks wanted for firewood saws etc.

    Weird messed up recoil setup on bicentennial Poulan , help?

    Whats the service manual say? That was in link here if one I posted. I cant recall but sure thought they route behind the flywheel. One of those one you might have to remove fly on to route it. Might check that. @hotshot might know.

    Jonsered 2083 Vs dolmar Makita 7900

    Parts wise I would lean toward 7900. Handling 7900. Weight 7900. I've owned many of the Partner made jred and poulans in 83cc. I would compare them close to 385 and 064. Tested all 3 one day with friend with 24" buried hardwoods. I sold my 385 because I could do everything it did with the...

    Husqvarna 346 OE 45cc Echo 490 50cc

    The echo is a 2021 I got in trade 2022. Maybe has 30 or so tanks through it now. For the folks asking me in pm's. Been using it ever since then after fixing air leak created by past owner. Hasnt missed a beat for me and my uses since. Been fighting the urge to buy the Echo 501. One was FS...

    How Many Chains

    I know a local guy like that. I was fixing a couple of his saws and ask about the chains. He said he cuts till dull and tosses in a pile and grabs another new one. Back then I got 5 for a 24 under chain. He was like how many you feel like doing. I was like I hate doing chains myself as it is...

    Husqvarna Sticky!

    Must be doing something right. Picked up a 1 owner 1986 61 from original owner this morning. I usually pass on the 61's. But just wanted to see why folks always wanted these ones. Little heavy to me for cc. But they do cut fine. Working metal chain brake still too. Wiped down the oiled fines...

    Husqvarna 346 OE 45cc Echo 490 50cc

    Might have to keep this 45cc 346 first year 1999. I forgot how well they run. Compared it to my hacked ported echo 490 50cc with 3/4" pipe muffler mod. The 45cc was right there with it stock and quite as can be. Husky with coil spring antivibe was so much smoother too. Copy paste from group...

    So question of the day did poulan ever make any good reliable chainsaws or weedeaters etc
