Nik's Poulan Thread

[fossil]

The images don't come up for me. I think you have to download the pics to your hard drive and them post them.
I am guessing if it doesn't look like a 3700 / 3800 it's a Roper saw. I have never run one but I don't think it's in the same power class as a 3700 / 3800. The other option (and I'm only guessing) could be a Poulan 306.
I have one of those but there's no Sears PN on it. The tag just says 306A.

Will a model 91 pull a 3 ft bar?

How does that Masterminded 4000 run? I'm thinking about having him do mine.

Runs great but Randy feels it would do better with a larger carb. Problem seems to be that most larger carbs have an impulse nipple whereas the 4000 cylinder doesn't.

If I recall, a while back there was a thread where someone stuck one of the bigger Stihl jugs on the 3700 series. Anyone have the link?

I don't recall seeing that and it sure would have peeked my interest.

 

[Acornhill]

Which bar should I use? 27 or 32?

 

[Acornhill]

Going to mock up the 27"

 

[ILikesEmGreen]

I'd say it'd pull the 32", but the 27" will be just fine too! Dang pics won't load for me. Grrr

It was some time back in 13 if I do believe.

 

[Macman125]

I'm pretty sure the guy put an 036 cylinder on it.

4000 runs great stock with torque for 4cube saw. I wouldnt spend the money it takes to port one now days personally. Unless you were doing it your self.

The one I sold for $200

Is that stock?

 

[ILikesEmGreen]

Yeah, that was stock. Imagine if it had extra bananas in it. Lol

Yes

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

The wood will never know the difference in your cut taking 10 seconds or 6-7 seconds. Most likely on a 4000 7-8 seconds.
$200 saw with $300-$400 porting cost, = Not unless you can do it yourself in my book.

 

[ILikesEmGreen]

That is true...a damn fine cutting saw in stock form regardless can't wait to get mine running. My uncle gave me his after not running it for a number of years. Will probably only need a fuel system rebuild to make it right again

Those 4000's are impressive. Never ran one but hope to have one down the road someday. I imagine the Craftsman 3.7 thing ring I bought from Modifiedmark with a mild port job, gasket delete and muff mod runs similar to a 4000, but I have no comparison.

Hi Guys
There's a new one on me.....
Clutch puzzle on a freebee craftsman 2.1PS and freebee S25DA. Both saws now run great with new fuel lines.
On the S25DA It came to me with a 1/4 chain and worn out spur clutch. I changed it all to 3/8LP and keeping the old hard nose bar. I may go back to 1/4 on this one. I really like the way the freebee Stihl 015L cuts with the 1/4 chain. It previously was my only 1/4" chain saw.
I discovered the 2.1 has a mini 9 spline rim clutch, Oregon 19779 (normally 1/4" chain), and it had a 3/8 rim (3/8-7-9) on it. Now the guy had a 3/8 LP chain on it , but it fits incredibly sloppy on the rim which is not worn at all. A regular 3/8 chain fits so much better on the rim and if I read it right, the craftsman IPL shows a "3/8" barracuda chain on this saw. However the bar tip seems to be right for 3/8LP. Bar looks almost new/unused. Is the rim supposed to be for regular 3/8 chain?
I'll probably convert to all 1/4 anyway.
As always
thanks
Dave
ps whats a husky 121? Nothing on acres site...it also uses this 19779 drum sprocket

Here is a pic

No brake so I guess it's a US model.

Images don't show for me either. For reference, blk05crew posted a photo of the Craftsman 3.7 / Poulan 3700. The differences between the Roper models & the Poulan are pretty clear if you're familiar with both. My understanding is some of the gray CM 3.7s are 3800s. One quick way to tell if it's a Poulan is the exposed bar on the lower rear handle by the body.

I did see a pic of it and it was an early red Poulan-Craftsman saw, possibly a Simpson Sears saw. He decided the drive was a bit too far for it and then it was gone anyhow. Looking at it, I suspect it was a Canadian model as it did have a rear vented AF cover which shows up on a lot of the 3400 saws here.

 

[Big Dan]

Can someone tell me what the stock spark plug is on a PP365 and Poulan 3500? Acre's site doesn't show either of them.
