Poulan Pro PP4218AVX Carburertor Adjustment

[CGC4200]

Poulan does not make a pro saw anymore.
Just short-life plastic junk.

hello,
Got to run the new saw for a minute a while ago. Got the carb adjusted up more or less. It wants to die if you chop the throttle in the middle of the cut or if you bump the saw after it idles for a bit but other wise it doesn't run bad. The chain on it is a bad joke but the say doesn't seem too bad. I tried to swap the chain from my other poulan onto it but the 4218 is not set up for .325 chain. It looks like 3/8 but I cant see 3/8 on such a small saw. What kind of chain does it have on it? Also, Where do you get a .325 sprocket for it? Let me know.
Thanks.

I think I've used a piece of brake line tubing (steel) to adjust these when I didn't have the tool. Copper tubing probably works too; just find a piece that just barely fits and push it on the screw head.

I have a couple of these Poulan chain saws, a 14" and a 20". They are both good saws.....for around home and light woodcutting. If I were a professional I probably would look elsewhere for a longer lasting saw. The older saws seemed to be better but were much heavier also.

Poulan PP4218AVX Service Manual?

I have a Poulan Pro PP4218AVX that is out of warranty. Does anyone know where I can go to get a Service Manual for it? I already have the Operators Manual, just looking to see if I can find a Service Manual. Thanks
