Looking for a full wrap handlebar for a Poulan 4200/4400/5200/5400/8500 in good shape.

Looking to buy a large West Coast Bucking/Falling dog spike for a Poulan 5200-8500 Countervibe chainsaw. I will pay $100+ for one in good shape.

Tried the co2 method but did not have any luck. Heated the case with plumbers map gas and then hit the race with a shot of compressed cumputer board cleaner with the can upside down. I couldn't even get it to budge. I don't know, maybe I was not getting the case hot enough. I ended up taking...

Thanks, I will try that before I weld on the race. I hate to get slag spatter all over the case doing it the welding method. I might even try heating the case and then spraying the race with CO2 to freeze it and see if that works. So far I am not a big fan of the flat pin type bearings. The...

I am sorry for the delayed response, I was not getting any alerts on my email or phone letting me know I had a new response. I ended up finding some FAG bearings. I now have another problem though. I tore the powerhead down and think the saw has been rebuilt before. It has one three peice...

Nice collection. Where do you get your NOS DOLMAR bearings from? I looked on ebay and there are only two comming out of germany. Ordered together they are over $100. I am not going to spend that on bearings.

Don't know if this is the right place to be asking technical questions about DOLMAR saws but I will ask anyway. I just bought a DOLMAR 133 and am going to do a full bottom and top end rebuild. It has weird two peice cylindrical crank bearings instead of the ball bearing/cage type. should I go...

Do you know what the factory compression was supposed to be for these saws. I had a Husqvarna dealer tell me that 150-160 psi was optimal. I might do a cylinder base gasket delete just to get as much compression as possible. I really have not had any time to mess with the saw yet, work is...

can you tell me what is different? I have never really messed with the mechanical side of these model of saws so I am learning as I go.

Thanks for the offer but I found a Stihl ts510 cutoff saw crankcase to try. I have already drilled, tapped and installed some Timesert inserts for the larger cylinder jug studs. It looks like it has all the oiler machining done except for the manual oil pump plunger hole. I don't think I will...

After I messed with the High and Low jets and found the best spot for power it really disappointed me. I have a Pioneer P51 and it runs way better than this 056 and it is also 52mm piston and cylinder I believe. I am hoping that it is low in power because of the seals and worn rings.

I might toy around with a velocity stack and better air filter setup. There really is not any room there though with the cover.

I don't have any experience with extensive porting so I will probably polish ports and match the exhaust port with the muffler. The muffler is already a dual port so I won't have to modify that. I might do a cylinder base gasket delete and maybe play with timing by filing the flywheel key a...

I want to build it to handle a 42" bar with .404 pitch, .063 gauge full chisel chain. Don't really care about getting high RPM out of it, just lots of torque to pull that bar and chain setup.

I thought there would be case differences. I guess I will have to stay with the 52mm piston and cylinder. I am kind of disappointed that there are no aftermarket piston/cylinder kits for the 056AV(52mm) and 056AV SUPER(54mm). All I can find are the 056 MAGNUM II kits(56mm). I did find...

I picked up a Stihl 056AV last weekend at a storage unit sale. I paid $300 for it thinking it would be a good hot rod project. I have never had one of these or even ran one before so I don't know what can be done to them for more power. It has a dual port muffler on it and everything seems to...

I wish I could find a 390 or 1690 in exceptional condition. Maybe I will have to sell off some of my other saws to be able to afford one. In my book the 390 and 1690 are the king of all production, single man operated, direct drive saws. There is the exception of the 10 cube Stihl prototype...

Did PM Canadien stop at the 390 or did they make a 390+?

Wow, that's nice. That's the 390, the equivalent to the Skil 1690 right(139cc)?

Motoseal, I will look for it. Thanks for the tips.
