Need a little advice on a Poulan

[pelhamjeff]

Hey guys! I just got a 335 Pro from a guy in Georgia Sunday before last. It had a hole in the oil tank which I fixed. I want to run a 3/8 chain and I am pretty sure this saw has the original .325 rim sprocket so could anyone tell me where I can find a 7 pin 3/8 rim sprocket for this saw? Also, I want to use an 18" chain with 33RS but if she'll handle a 20" I will get that. And any advise on where to get the bar and chain reasonable or any other advice on this saw would be appreciated. Thanks!!

If your drum & splines are still in good shape, just get an Oregon 18720 or 68210 rim drive & swap it out with your .325” pitch rim. The 18720 is a small rim & the 68210 is a standard sized 7 spline rim. Check your spline diameter to find out what you currently have there.

I wouldn’t use a bar over 18” in length with that little 54cc saw in hardwoods though. The 33RS chain uses a full size tooth, and you may be happier in the end with a 3/8” LP chain...try both & see.

The bar needs to be changed to a 3/8” tip, unless it’s a hard tip (no sprocket), but you already know that, and I’m sure that PP335 uses an A041 mount.

If the drum & splines are worn out there’s a couple of Oregon 34254 rim drives on flea-bay...but they’re equipped with a .325” pitch rim, so you’d still need to get the 3/8” rims.

Steve s. was my top suspect but has since been cleared due to his wife swearing on a 3400 service manual and 2 bottles of 30 to 1 premix that he has never sold any chain saws in his whole southern life!!!!!!!!!! I want responce from all Ga. people -post your alibis here NOW!!--David--2 cycle code enforcer..
