Hi All -
Newbie here. Glad I found this forum as I've already put some of the previous posts to good use. But, I could still use some of your expertise.
I bought an 041 recently. It's seen better days but I might be able to save the patient. Just not sure how much I want to invest in it. Long story short, a 90mph windstorm in my area earlier in the summer revealed that the Poulan Wild Thing was ok for branches/trees of the smaller size, but not for the bigger hardwoods that tend to fall on houses, over power lines, and vintage pickups (rats!).
A friend of mine lent me his 041FB - what a difference a real saw makes! I knew then that Tim the Toolman was again correct, more power!
I'm a relative novice to the chain saw. Only had the Poulan for a year or two before this, and used it only occasionally. So if I ask elementary questions, that's where I'm coming from.
First things first though - I could sure make good use of an 041FB service manual and a parts list (wink wink).
Thanks.
Kent S.
