Nik's Poulan Thread

Lee put the next bigger fuel line in just open up the holes and slots. Makes a big difference in the way they start and run. I have done it to the 5 i have. Remember that when you double the diameter you increase the area 4 times. Just a little bit bigger makes a difference.

I really like this idea of next bigger fuel line. Im guessing just use a spring clamp on carb nipple or is it necessary? You wouldn't have the size handy by chance?

Finally got to use my Nos Poulan 3450 today, after finally getting it going, I’m glad to say it performed with no problems!

I picked up a 295 a while ago that the Po had let the muffler vibrate loose and burnt a hole in the oil tank. Then I found a 2900 with a blown engine so now have a frankensaw. I would like to put one of the spring loaded recoils from a 4620. I just find them more comfortable.

Last 4-5 of those I started running echo oem 3mmx5mm which is close to that I think. Works perfect and didnt even have to drill tanks.

3x5 one in pic.

I have also been using the 3x5 but I'm empty and didn't have a piece to show. Great minds think alike.

It's hard to beat Echos fuel line.

I prefer Echo line as well. Much easier to work with than Tygon.

Ok all you poulan pros, I’m looking at a 295 pro later. Supposedly runs but needs adjustment. This will be the first one of these on my bench. Any common issues that I should start with?? Hoping for just fuel lines & carb kit kind of stuff.

Turn the saw over and check that the screws that go into the plastic are present and not stripped. The AV screw on the bottom holding the spring on the rear handle is worst for doing that.

Very nice Pete!

I picked this PP335 up last week. Runs great but I haven't had a chance to cut with it.

I have a 20" on mine because that's what it came with but It would be chugging in a 20" log.

It's more of a 16" bar saw.

Any one see the 5200 full wrap handle on eBay 600.00 or best offer.
