Nik's Poulan Thread

[redunshee]

2800 worm gear arrived. Seems someone could easily make one if they had proper access. I'll try to attach a picture . The threaded bolt that prys the gear off the shaft is a 3/8-16 thread. The large cylindrical pipe that screws onto the gear itself has a thread pitch of 12. No idea what the size is. Possibly 3/4". Supposed to be getting two more but who really knows.

Wait a minute. Normally there is no stud in the case as u use a hex bolt to attach the cover to the saw. Now, someone may have actually used a threaded rod and made a case bolt. I did that on three of my S25's. If so it's simply a matter of unscrewing it. You may have to heat it if they used red Loctite.

i agree, lock to nuts together on the stud if there is one and turn the inside nut counter clockwise to remove the stud.

Most 36" bars take 115-116 DL of 3/8 pitch chain. 37" usually takes 119DL, and 34" usually takes 110DL.

I've been meaning to do that conversion on a couple of XXV series saws that I run quite a bit. Having the bar bolt thread right into the mag case isn't the best idea in the world. The Micro series saws have a stud, as do some of the very late PoulanPro branded XXV series saws.

just did a bunch of weldin on one cause of that.... felt marks where cracks were & went into bar clamp around both sides of stud

 

[rocketnorton]

You can have some of mine. Was 12 below zero F. this morning. Snow is 18 inches deep in front of my barn.
An even 0 degrees at the moment.

Brrrrrr

Wow, I may have to break them down a few links.

Try 'em on the saw first. You can get a good feel for it they're "right" just by putting the loop on the bar. Should be six or seven DL past the tail of the bar when the loop is pulled tight all the way around.

Maybe I should just replace it once the tool arrives. The idle just seems to fluctuate too much. Unlike my 3000's which hold the idle fine. Even switched carbs and it still does it.

Tool arrived and as easy as pie, the worm gear came out. Even used the tool to replace the gear after replacing the crank seal. Even though I couldN't see a vacuum leak using the grease approach, replacing the seal cured the idle problem. Must have been a tiny leak. Merry Christmas everyone!

That's what I figured might work. Just wanted to see if that was a correct thought.
