I had posted how much I liked the Polan model 25 chain saw some time ago.
I get a message from a guy in Minnesota who said he had two of them a Sears branded one and a true Polan branded one and I could have one for the cost of shipping.
Sent pictures and I chose the true Polan one.
He boxed it up sent it USPS cost 23.00. It arrived Saturday evening before Christmas as our mail rarely arrives before 5:00 PM any longer.
Didn't have time to much more than unpack it Saturday evening. checked it over put a bit of premix VP 40:1 fuel fix in a can in the tank and dribbled a bit in the carb and it started in two pulls, sat and idled for about 5 minutes before I shut it down.
It didn't come with a bar and chain, have no idea what is calls for other than 3/8 LP chain.
After I got home last evening I removed the bar and chain from my Polan 2150 to see it that will work.
Ended up it did fit but I wasn't able to try it for a while as I ended up getting sick. People came sick to Sundays family gathering and I got it.
After doing my morning chores I fillted the tank the rest of the way with VP fuel fix in a can 40:1., filled the oil tank with oil added a bit of Marvel Mystery oil to the summer mix.
Fired it up and let idle as I walked to a green wild cherry tree I had skidded from the woods. checked to see if the chain was throwing oil and it was doing a good job of it with out the manual oiler but I checked that to.
Cut that Cherry up into fire wood rounds and was nearly finished when it ran out of fuel. Finished the job with my Echo cs 400.
Once finished I took the Polan up to the barn work shop and removed the carb air cleaner cover so I could reset the idle as it kept stalling rather than idle. I also wanted to pull the plug and get a readding off it once it cooled down.
I got tangled up doing other things the rest of the day so didn't get back to it.
It is as sweet running and cutting as I remembered my brothers.
I am really happy the fellow (Kevin) in Minnesota offered me one at such a great price.
Would 50:1 like I run my other saws be to thin?
