Nik's Poulan Thread

Guess I missed a minor edit before posting my response...

Any chance the screw holding the tab to the knob isn't tight?

Just thinkin' out loud now...

Could pull one of mine out for a comparison looksee later if no one else chimes in first.

Good thought. I just checked it and it's tight. No slippage there. I just measured the difference between the barb on the lever and the slot in the shutter and there is about .030" play which is not what I felt. I think only the the lever tip may be engaging. Maybe the shutter is supposed to have a step in it? I wonder if it's off a Micro or something.
Certainly no rush but if you do get a chance, have a look and see if the shutter on yours looks like that one. Something isn't right and it may be me.

Yep. (Good call!) The barb on a Micro also has a crook in it to reach the choke fork. Looks like either could be switched to eliminate the slop.

Thanks for checking and taking the pics. I just bent the lever down a bit to match the micro lever and it's working fine now.

I figured it might be something like that. The saw must have been running pretty rich for some period of time.

Tree is 56" across

Sugar Maple?

It is oak, we have our hands full with this one. One section is 10 ft by over 4 ft in diameter. There must be over 10 cords or more in all easy.

I would love to mill some of it also.

Had a chance to get a 3400 bowsaw but for $110.00 and ya had to buy a Lil Mac trim saw that was shot, I said now way, the guy won't take $50.00 on the Poulan buy itself. Didn't want the boat anchor.

[Acornhill]

S25DA. I saw one in a pawn shop and I started thinking I more nearly needed a smaller saw than another medium-large saw (Dolmar 120s, with broken fuel tank). I think I may already have two of these S25D/DA in different colors. A Craftsman 2.0 10 in. model 358.352010 (red), and a Wright CounterVibe (orange) (I haven't found a model number on it, but acresinteernet indicates a 122CVA is built by Poulan based on the S25CVA. I have had these saws for years and they have been non-running for several of those. I know they both use the same carburetor. Either one would run with swapping one carb between them until that quit working too. I probably need two carb kits and fuel lines by now. Do I still need to go look at that S25DA?

 

[Acornhill]

Yes if in good shape and under $50, TRIFECTA

Just finished a new toy. I got impatient waiting for a 5200 and saw something local that I could not pass up. I'm pretty sure that you guys will like it. Respect for the Poulan thread - it's over here.

Nice saw! I'm not familiar with that saw what are the specs on it?

 

[blk05crew]

I need to sell a saw and it's going to be either the 3400 or the 3800, both are equally nice and both have a muff mod and 20" b/c. Which would you guys keep and which would you sell?

 

[Acornhill]

R u selling for the cash? If so the 3800 Will bring more dough

 

[Acornhill]

Don't expect much from the 3400 A's far as $
