That isn't very grimy, should make a good saw
Not too dirty, should take about 30 minutes to clean up I think. Got to get some rubber up to seal off the ports to check for any leaks. I might just go ahead and replace the crank seals just to be on the safe side even if they don't leak, only $4.99 each and can have them the next day that I order them. Got to pull the starter apart and lube it up some, it's making that mighty dry sound. Starter pulley teeth look like new and the flywheel dogs don't show any wear. The bar adjuster screw still has paint on 90% of the threads. Bar looks the same way where it mounts to the saw, no paint scratches. You can actually say it's a low hour saw. Some one did replace the fuel lines once, carb kit was original, still had some over spray on a gasket. I'm really impressed with this one. Still had some old dino oil in the carb. Dought it ever saw etho gas. Sorry so long, just excited about it.

For got to add, unless I already have, the bow is original to the saw, factory curve cut in the case and clutch cover. I'll take the chain guard and try to fab up one for the lower side and make it longer. If it goes well, make another set for my other bow saw. This one has a 14" bow, other one I've got is 16".

Thanks for a great report and a good long one at that. Keep up the good work and enjoy your project, isn't that why we let these saws into our lives
Lol, yep. We did get all the bush hogging done. One section is next to a stream that run through the field, grass is dark green and thick. Well on the second go around with the mowers dropped down low, my brother got a baby fawn. We felt real bad, I hated seeing it. Not much we could do, could even see it with the grass as deep and thick as it was. Section is nothing but wet water springs.

I looked at that, hmmmmm? I always think with that many parts something good has to be tucked away.
I had a n older friend tell me he had an old saw he bought new in the mid to late seventies that he hasn’t used in years . He thought it was green . He said he would give it to me to get it out of his way. I didn’t want to get too excited but I did go right over to pick his trash up and get it out of his way . I haven’t had time to really look at it yet so I’m not sure which one it is . Good end to a not so good day !
Easy $.
He was doing yard work today and it wouldnt start, so he dropped it off this morning.
I gave him a strato version loaner to use to do his limbing in the yard that I cant sell for $50 local with new carb and new oiler. Nice older guy that served too. So no problem helping him out.
His a P 2550 spring AV. Basically a green PP260 with hand guard instead of chain brake cover.
Carb kit, carb primer lines, duck bill for cap.

Is there any way to tell what it is just looking at it?
Should be a tag on gas tank behind clutch cover

I mean any visual way to distinguish between 4200 and 5200 by looking at pic . I almost home where I can take a look at it now . Thanks
It’s a 5200 ! That’s what I was hoping for . The other one I have needs a p and possibly c so this may fit right in. Both of them have cracks in the clutch covers is there a fix for this ?
So, an old friend of mine gave me my first gas chainsaw which is a poulan 2450 “superclean”
Ive wanted to buy a husky rancher for years and years but havent dropped the coin. I figured this would be a decent work saw that could do some specific jobs in the wood lot.
I cleaned it up and fired it up, well the chain ran at full speed without even touching the throttle.
So i killed it and figured id take it down to a professional since im very inexperienced.
Thought id check here real quick for some advice.
Ill be picking up a used dolmar 5150 from a guy in a few weeks but still would like to get the paulan going for certain jobs...
Thanks for any advice or help!
Your idle screw needs adjusted counter clockwise until chain stops moving at idle. Check out page 13 of link for adjustment: http://www.klippo.com/ddoc/pouo/pouo2009_euen/pouo2009_euen__545123540.pdf
