Nik's Poulan Thread

That looks bad, can even see the finger imprints on the top handle, glad you got only a nick on the finger, something just don't seem right. If you had been cutting and had a kick back and brake had engaged would that had happened also? Possible a hair line cracked flywheel to me.

Wow I have had chains come off before but have never seen anything happen because of it. It would seem to me that the flywheel could have been faulty to start with.
I have a 3500 myself that has been ported some and it runs like a champ with no issues.

All I know is the chain came off just before all heck broke loose. Maybe the fly wheel had issues but it looks like a fresh brake.

This was a pic of my 3500 after I finished with the rebuild. Needed a good muff mod.

From the looks of your pictures it looks like it broke one of the fins on your cylinder also.

 

[beavis331]

Yes there was some fin breakage. I wouldn't be afraid to reuse the cylinder though. That is one sweet muffler mod you got there!

When you removed the flywheel earlier, did you hit it with a steel hammer?


Sorry to see your bad luck there. I'll see what parts I have here, but I know I have. No case or top cover. I have a recoil cover, but it's yellow.

Some questions are worded a bit goofy, like #15, but ...

Hello Mark
I struck the end of the shaft with a solid strike like I've done many times before.

Here are some picks of the bar and the flywheel.




I was think about what @Acornhill suggested about the chain brake being engaged. Afterwards when I removed the chainbrake I know I just took it off, I did not have to disengage the brake. So that wasn't it.

Hey @Modifiedmark
Am I correct in assuming 365 parts will work only they are yellow?

Yes

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

3 60cc in that series. @beavis331

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Got a couple 3500's and 1 365 left. The 3500's just need impulse and fuel lines. Just need cleaned up because they look like used chainsaws

Main housing, flywheel, recoil, top cover for sure.

Maybe not a bad idea to check the run out of the crankshaft before re-using it. After a catastrophic failure like that, it could be "out". The easiest way to check it would be to check runout of the pto side and flywheel side before disassembling it. Basically using the crankcase as your V blocks.

Anyone need 325 covers? Fit other too in partner jred.
