Hi Everybody,
I recently bought a lot 5 older Poulan saws. 2 run, but not so great and of the remaining 3 I hope to make 2.
The models are
245A Bow
306A
361 (2)
3700 Bow
I've put fresh fuel in the bows and they run, but not so wonderfully. I think its a fueling issue. Just curious where to start the tuneup.
I've ordered one major repair kit. It should arrive in several weeks from China! Spark plugs look good. Took the top off one of the carbs, it looks good. Bought a harbor frieght compression tester too, I've not got it fitted well, but figure the compression is good enough for them to run, so probably not the issue, but I could be wrong.
Any help is appreciated. I'd like to get these running good. See which 2 I like the best and probably sell the other 2. Then the 2 I keep I want to mod for performance.
Thank you,
Matt
