Well let's see......

Just finished a Husqvarna 261/262 and a Dolmar 7910...

There's a Stihl MS260 jug with the squish cut being ported on my bench......

and a MS461 being torn down on Jon's bench.

Life is good in TN. :msp_biggrin:

4000 poulan

Here is the one Im keeping, one I sent to eccentric, one is off to modifiedMark. So Ill have this 4000 and 2 Poulan Pro 395s. This saw came in as a runner. When I picked it up I got some history on the saw which is always good. I bought it from the original owner who bought it new in '84. He was looking at 60cc class Jreds, but his dealer who sold jreds and Poulans talked him into a 4000. He said the dealer demonstrated one of the saws by cutting tip first straight into a dead oak tree.
It does run but I will still take it down, clean and inspect everything, put new fuel lines and kit the carb, I have plenty of fuel line and carb kits and they are cheap insurance IMO. Also saw has 160psi p/c are perfect and the ex. port is carbon free.

And here's the 4000 Joe sent me. It spent just long enough on my bench for it to get this NOS PP D007 mount bar swapped on.
