Nik's Poulan Thread

Try this unless a machinist can hive you something better

Bolt the muffler up with the one good bolt tight enough so t won't move too easily but loose enough so you can shift into the correct position.
Take a little fast dry spray paint and spray through the bolt hole in the muffler onto the flange.
Let the paint dry enough so you can mark it.

I would take something with a fine sharp point that so you can see exactly where you are going the mark the paint as close to the middle of the circle possible.

Pull the muffler and see if your happy with where the mark is in the circle, center punch and drill.

You could also try marking intersecting line with a scribe.

If your not happy with where you've marked the hole, touch it up with more paint and try again.

I would try to square the cylinder up on your drill press and drill the hole using the stop on the press. It helps a lot to get a hole in the right plane and stops over drilling the depth.

I like that idea. The 3000 has a third bolt hole at the bottom so lining the muffler up should be a lot easier. Thanks.

I edited it and maybe while you were typing so in case you didn't see the changes, have another look.

Okay. Have to take some time to square up the cylinder before I drill. You're correct in going up in drill sizes.

The 330 I acquired recently has the goofy bar with the built in adjuster. I went ahead and ordered the adjuster to switch it over. Was thinking of getting a new bar. I was wondering if this saw would pull a 3/8 20" bar. That way it can match the 3500. If it'll be a mouth full for it I will go a different route. What do you guys think?

He sells a lot of big money Poulan saws. I think he gets his saws and parts from around the Gloucester Port Tobacco area, there is a saw shop there as well that has a lot of Poulan parts

Too rich for me but it does look like a nice saw.

The 330 had a regular adjuster, did someone remove it and use that bar from a PP295? The 330 will pull a 3/8-20" just fine. They actually came with 3/8-22" for the last few years available.

I assume someone removed the original adjuster for some reason because it is missing. I am going to return it to original then go with a 20" 3/8 bar.
Don't know why someone would switch to that goofy adjuster setup. I hate it!

Hey beavis331, is your goofy bar a 20" k041 mount 3/8 pitch Poulan Pro bar ?

Actually it is 325 and measures right at 17" on the saw.

Do you need this bar?

Went and did it again! Bought a 3800 of EBay. Offered $75 but shipping was high. One of the bar studs fell in the oil tank, I guess. Hope the case isn't cracked. Guess I'll find out. Seems as soon as I sell a saw The money burns a hole in my pocket and I buy another. That's CAD.

Glad to hear you're feeling better. We were worried about you when you were thinking sell.

Hi There.

No I don't need it but I do have several saws that use .325 chain and I don't mind the Intenz thing. The 2800/2900/295 usually don't have an adjuster on the clutch cover hence the Intenz adjustment. I would be happy to cover the postage.
