Looks great, surely they pulled out the old broken off bolt tip end when they ground out the slot to fill weld it.

Do you need me to make you a custom exhaust gasket out of Felpro 3009 for that? as the IPL doesn't show one...

What tools do you use to cut that felpro 3009 gasket material out?

 

[redunshee]

My 3800 came with the loose bar stud. The front stud is in the oil tank and there is a bulge in the oil tank which makes getting it back in a pain. That and all the oil residue would make using a sealant, etc dicey. Did a pressure test and the intake adaptor is leaking. Think there is a crack in it. Consequently, if I have to remove the cylinder I may as well go whole hog and split the case. That way I can cleanup the oil tank and replace the stud.

Pretty nice looking saw. Looks like a low hour one. Put a 16" on her and she'll rip pretty good.

The guy said he didn't use it much, it needs a few things like a chainbrake assembly and chain tensioner, and the regular stuff, but I'm ready to get it going, the compression is a lot higher than any Saw I currently own.

So cool!!!

Yep..

A Dremel with cut off wheels for the exhaust port opening & then debur bits for opening & smoothing out the bolt holes after drilling.

It's a nigtmare both time wise & dust **** flying around compared to punching holes in Nitrile & gasket material with a C.S. Osborne hand punch...but well worth it for these old saws.

I use the SM shear at work for blanking out the rough sizes, but a guy could cut it with heavy shears or tin snips, then bend it back straight on the edges.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. The old Homelites and the 10 series MAC's will use them. I bought a sheet.

Metal side to the muffler?

Yes Sir Tim, metal to the muff. They claim the exhaust manifold, or muffler in our case, will expand & contract better on the metal surface.

Hung about a dozen Super 25 series like bats in the garage so they won't reproduce, stack 'em together & they just make more LOL. All those little trim saws are great runners!

I swear I don't have small Poulan CAD!

Thats cool.

Tired of mine taking up shelf space.

Yep.. View attachment 558852

OH wow!!!!!!

Bag 'em cuz they do drip, even with the tanks drained of bar oil.

Bicycle hooks into the studs & a piece of 3/4" EMT keeps you from tripping over them too! Clothes hangers donated the removable clips...true rednecked right there!

Nice and neat. Looks more like a meat locker than it does a bat cave.

That's funny, cuz there is about 200 lb of frozen cow elk meat & 2 deer in that old stand up freezer behind them...

See there Poulan intuition.

 

[3000 FPS]

Ok how about some Poulans in action. This was about a year ago in the mountains for firewood. I go up every year.
The saw is a Poulan Pro 365 with a 20" bar in 3/8ths. So the saw does very well with that combination.

 

[3000 FPS]

One reason I like the 365.
