Nik's Poulan Thread

[brandonstc6]

Is it difficult to replace a bar stud on a Poulan 3700. I picked up this saw and I think it is in good shape but I need to remove and clean the cylinder since it was stored out in the weather with no spark plug for a couple weeks.

Sad, no it is easy, go through the oil tank use a magnet to fish new one in

I think the saw is definitely salvageable. It looks to be in pretty good shape under all the dirt. It isn't locked up and the clutch and sprocket look good. I have to look at the cylinder but I think it's okay too. I know a guy who has a scrap yard and he laid it out for me.

May not run good with that Stihl bar on it, probably boog it down.

I'll probably put a 16" bar on it. I have a good used d176 bar or I could put a nos 20" bar.

20" will do it justice.

occassionally you can find replacement bar studs . The replacement has a hole at the tip that allows you to attach a wire to the stud. Fish the wire thru the oil tank , out the bar stud hole and pull. I've had no luck using a magnet so I end up splitting the tank. More work for sure.

I have a 4000 which has white death from sitting on wet concrete I guess. Anyway had it running on the weekend and topped up the oil tank only to find a but puddle of oil hour later. Yes hole through the bottom of the tank. Will the 4000 motor fit into the 3400 chassis as I do have a good part saw. It might be easier to try JB Weld first.

The Piston and cylinder from a 4000 will fit a 3400 crankcase. Swap it over.

Sounds good, now I know what to do with my spare 3400 which is missing clutch cover so not usable as it sits.

Thanks,

Lee

Where does the fuel tank vent filter go on a 5200, see them on eBay but puzzled to where it goes and how big it is.

If I remember correctly it is right in front of the tail handle under the hood and not very big.

It goes inside the top of the aluminum fitting that screws into the tank that the duckbill mounts on.

Must be tiny, I wondered what went on the other end of the check valve, thanks for the info Mark.

Going to clean the insides tomorrow.

Looks like a low mileage saw.

I have a chance to get a Poulan 245a. It is a 70cc saw right?
