That is a limbing saw, homeowner in my opinion, not going to burry it thinking it is going to come up smiling. 38cc ?

yep it is 38 cc ...your probably right guess i should think of it as that... i try to really bury it to get the first tune....could be the fins on the recoil sides are packed i dont fully clean it till im done fixing everything wrong on them....thats more in the 50 cc range....
 
I think i get spoiled as my echo cs 400 will pull a 16 inch bar and chain all day long in same stuff long as its sharp... much newer saw though....im not sure the saw may be a 1985 saw so the fact it still starts and runs after replacing everything is a statement....
 
Me too

hello i recently bought a poulan pro 295 a later model of the bay saw was sold as a runner it runs but does not oil took apart the oiler cleaned it took out the oil pick up line cleaned it everything looks right except seems like the pick up is not making a decent seal ... i looked up the part for a few hours at the different ipls and it seems the new poulan pro 4620 comes with a one piece pick up that slides over the spindle instead of the 2 piece mine has.. I ordered one it says it fits husqvarna and all the poulan of this line.... Do any of ya all know if this was a problem and why they went to a one piece rubber pick up?? hope it fixes it....On this one it is 2 pieces....i will let ya all know i also ordered a new pump even though the one on it seems to have no damage...would appreciate any input everything has been cleaned.... even took the plate off and put it back on....ran with no bar took oiler apart blew it out and shot wd 40 in it blew it out again if i blow air in the hole oil pours out? here is the pic of the one i have coming....View attachment 668857


got my parts today and the new pick up did the trick i think seems to be oiling it took a minute or so at first it dripped straight down but once the bar and chain was on it flowed up the channel.... hers some pics hope it helps others out.... 39514656_10213720348546447_5174401269065842688_n.jpg 39514656_10213720348546447_5174401269065842688_n.jpg 39441445_10213720350866505_7947185550673313792_n.jpg 39748516_10213720348866455_1582689843643678720_n.jpg 39441350_10213720349146462_5357369603179675648_n.jpg 39441392_10213720350546497_8431348117210660864_n.jpg
 
sorry pics in reverse order but you can see its a better design.... much better seal
 
How i spent my evening....it runs and starts but 3 hard cuts in 12 inch seasoned oak and when i shut it off she was smokin....i cleaned the clutch side maybe the flywheel side was bad as the clutch new fuel lines oil line oil filter fuel filter air filter slapped a good 14 inch on it the bar on it was to much....cleaned rebuilt the carb... it seems to be oiling to much???? i will have to check the cotter pin above the clutch.....im running 40-1 red armor and have it as fat as i can so it will clean up in the cut almost to fat... any ideas turned it on its sides it did not run away.....should i go 32-1 on this older saws i wanted this one to use but if it cant handle 3 back to back hard cuts?????vI have to say i am frustrated....i will break it down one last time both sides and blow every thing out.....the clutch side i cleaned.....any way here are pics i have a 190 pp on the way hope it can handle more then 3 hard cuts....
i think it has other issues would not fire over today i saw a puddle of fuel looks like where the fuel line goes on its cracked .... and its oiling way to much ...i worked on the pp295 today and it seems to be fixed....
 
Most of the time folks complain it not oiling enough.

yea they can be stingy but i had one do this before the cotter pin was stuck and it just pissed it out..... you dont see many 235 saws ive only seen one other so i had to have it.....i have a 190 coming and i have 2 pp180 a pp225 most of a pp200 and i think some where in the back i have a s23pp it was running but i have not seen it in a year but i know i have it......plus all kinds of 2300 micros craftsman versions etc im done till i find a pp236... i have the craftsman version of it and solf the 2400 green version i could kick my self it still had the sticker my ac guy has it i may fix a micro and get it before he kills it......
