That really sucks! What did you have the screws set at?

Ya but what do you do. Live and learn.
Lo was 1 1/4
High was just shy of 1 1/2
That's were they were when I put the kit in the carb, so I put them back to have a place to start.

Hmm, that's really weird. I wonder what happened? I think most of the time guys run them at about 1 1/4 or right around there and may have to adjust a little. So it doesn't sound
like you were to far off of that.

Something else is going on with your 5200

Ya I don't know.
Guess I need to start digging and figure it out.

Sounds like an air leak

nice, you'll love it, step it down to a 18" or 20" bar, on both of mine I went with smaller bucking spikes and used 20" intenz bars so I didn't have to fuss with the tensioner in the aggravating stock location

Hers a few more pics of the 245A after I got to look it over a bit more tonight.

Tag is still in tact under the flyer cover.

Air filter looks awesome.

A couple inside pics.


I don't know if this is the original spark plug or not, never seen this kind before.

Anyone know the difference between the 5200, 5400 and 8500 pistons? I see they have different part numbers but what is the difference?

 

[Acornhill]

Nothing

Where? they are NLA at all the spots I checked out

Let me look also. I have a box full of S25 parts and may have the circlips

Wow, nice collection of Poulans.

Where do you find parts for the older Poulans? Are they becoming hard to find?

Most of my parts I get from parts saws. A lot depends on what model you are looking for. Look at my next post.

Looking for an air filter for my PP405. The current one is disintegrating. Any ideas? Part is NLA. Wonder if I can make one if I get some foam material.

Thanks Bob!

Thanks Bob!

well I looked and I don't have any circlips. Thought I had a P&C but must have tossed due to scoring.

Look like the manual oiler push button is gone, but the wire push rod's still there.

Just put my PP655 filter on my 405 and it seems to fit. It's a thin felt filter but don't know why it can't work. That and it's still available on the Bay.

Yes I noticed that. I'll have to see if I can find one.
