Partner 5000 intakes suck!

The impulse grommet is a joke and the intake boot is a slip on fit. NO clamps! I am having a hard time getting one to hold pressure during vac pressure test. I made my own grommet to fix the impluse sealing issue. The new one I made is longer and slides up on the nipple further. Very bad design. I woudl rather have a solid block between the cylinder and carb. There is no need for an intake boot on this saw because the carb is not isolated from the cylinder by av mounts. JUNK! JUNK! JUNK!

Well I dunno abour the 5000 intakes but the p85 is kinda cool in that almost everything comes apart with one tool. Am 8mm x 1/4" drive socket with an extension and a ratchet.

This is what the intake looks like.

The boot is cheap and that nipple below the boot is what slides into a grommet in the cylinder for impulse.

Can someone help me with a 5K+ IPL??
TIA
TIA
If you pm me your email, I can send it. I'm not smart enough to post it here.
Your supposed to use a sealer on the boot and nipple. I use motoseal.

Does it say that in a service manual?
I'll check on that. I've torn many down that had a sealer on them, as far as I know they were untouched from the factory.

Thanks to the would that could, and the one that tried!!!
I looked at the IPL and I can't see the impulse nipple boot. Perchance, is it the same part as in the fabulous 55 setup?

That was from the time when they only put chain brakes on girls saws!
Poulan was highly resistant to the chain brakes and used hand guards, bananna nosed bars and later safety chains instead.
The requirement was for every saw to have 2 of the safety features from a list including sheilded bar tips, low contact (bananna) bar tips, safety chain, chain brakes, and sonme others I can't remember right now.
Poulan (like I do) thought that chain brakes were a bad idea and resisted until the bitter end.
They had brakes, and used them in Canada where they were mandated, and they could be special ordered for a time here, before they became mandatory.
