So I went to California to see a man about a chainsaw…..
Along time ago in a galaxy far, far away I met a guy online named Mike @rupedoggy. We had some kind of minor business dealing that is long forgotten but at least a year later I ended up buying one of his former race saws through an intermediary.

It was a beast of a saw, an old school 064 with a beautifully ported 066 cylinder and two piece head and a motorcycle pipe from a dirt bike.
It had so much compression I literally couldn’t pull it over, even once.
It was a fascinating trip to get it running again and with a lot of help from @SquareFile, it is now a runner and a ton of fun.

More recently Mike let me know he had a trio of race saws he was putting up for sale and I happily snatched them up.
Being an impulsive Stihl fan boy who is learning to love fast huskies I parted with the PP475 before I ever got to run it, heck it’s a Poulan, it’s gotta be junk right?
