So about four months ago my neighbor brought over his saw. It was the Poulan Pro 4218. He said it would not run. I could have it or dispose of it. He wanted it out of his garage. So after it sitting a couple of months I pulled the carburetor off. To cut to the chase I replaced all three gas lines along with the primer bulb. Added mix and three pulls later it was running. Adjusted the carb as it was way to lean. The muffler next got my attention. How this thing could run at all beyond idle was a surprise. I will add that the piston was spotless. So now with a chisel and a small persuader the baffle blocking the exit port, well it now has a more useful function. So now with the saw running well and also oiling it was time to see if this implement would cut. I did sharpen the Oregon 91 series chain on my Jolly Star. Anyway this saw cuts wood like you not believe. I never owned this brand however it simply cuts great. Way more performance than I ever expected. And it was free. I have about $6 between the gas line and primer bulb. Anyway this was a bit of a surprise. For a cheap saw it is well worth the price. Ken
