Yeah man...this sumb**ch gonna nickle and dime me to death. Better go ahead and get shed of it now before I come to my senses. haha

Don't even know why I didn't check there first...probably b/c the poulan thread window was already up and loaded. Thanks for the unnecessary leg...er...fingerwork.

45mm cyl kit for a 5200 huh? According to good ole Mike Acres, the 4200 was 1.845" or 46.86mm...and the 5200 was 2.066" or 52.48mm. I've heard of big-bore kits...but never heard of purposely making one smaller displacement.

Anyone heard anything out of Gregg recently?

Hadn't seen him on here in quite a while. I know I haven't been here nearly as long as some of you have, but I do recall him posting when I first started posting. Hope he is ok and all is well.

 

[ILikesEmGreen]

Last time he posted was Feb 9th...

Just replying this thread again...making some tests

Well that's a common myth that everyone copied the XL-12 with no proof to back it up.

Personally with the way the dates fall for the different brands introduction, I don't buy it. Homelite might have beat the others out by a short time with it, but it don't add up all the others copied it.

Lots of folks like to also call the XL12 the first modern saw and rave about its light weight. I don't call it a modern saw because it was strictly a manual oiler saw. Poulan and others came with a auto oiler for that type of saw sooner and by the time the XL-12 got a auto oiler and became a Super XLAO it was no longer a lightweight!!

It don't matter anyway McCulloch and Poulan came out with a better overall design just 3 years or so later..

Good info, and although I'm no expert, I agree with you. Whoever actually came up with the XL12 design/concept/whatever... it ran wild. I agree also that Poulan did it better. They do everything better, though, right?

I think I may have gotten a couple of those when I picked the saw shop a couple of weeks ago.

You guys are such teases.

Got around to addressing this 4200 yesterday. Nice P/C, just needed a few bit of things, like a 2 piece fuel line, new starter rope and some other maintenance. She's a good runner.

Not sure what I will do with this one, might be a good trading chip..

Thanks for the pic Mark, I was trying to put it out of my mind.
