Nik's Poulan Thread

Looks great! Another thought. Turn the saw on the recoil side. The muffler might just be large enough to warm up a couple hot dogs for a snack after cutting.

It's close to lunch time.....

Thanks, looks a lot better than that other one that was hacked on in a few spots.

What would make and engine surge, air leak or lack or fuel, carb is clean and getting fuel. Oh , its a Craftsman Roper Ranger.

This might be a stupid question but here goes. If I am trying to order some Husqvarna parts and I find Poulan parts with the exact same part number are they the same part?

Usually lack of fuel. I've never had one surge that had an air leak but it wouldn't four stroke. Any chance your fuel line is soft? it could be collapsing under high fuel demand. Blocked tank vents may do that as well. easy to check that. Just loosen the fuel cap to let air in while it's running.
You may have a partially blocked high speed circuit in the carb or the metering lever may be too low. I'm assuming you put a carb kit in.
Maybe a dirty fuel filter.

What make and model is the carb?

What's the max rpm for the big countervibes? Been a while since I have messed with one. I know have seen them over 7500 on a tach.

Got the PP 365 running today. Your right Mark that was an easy swap from the HDA 49 to the HDA 164. Saw runs great and have it 4 stroking at 13,100 RPM's right now with the bar and chain on it. Once again I am very pleased with this series of saws from Poulan.

Are there any after market fuel caps available for the S25CVA? If not, what do you use? Also, is there a duck bill check valve in the center of the cap? Mine has a star washer retainer and I don't want to remove it unless necessary. It's leaking gas out the center hole. Not sure if it's filter, check, or both.

Unfortunately not new, that I know of, but havn't really looked. Yes, there is a duckbill valve that goes in the cap, thats what the star washer is for.

Gregg,

The Poulan PN for the duckbill is 530026119. Current production.

Anyone have an outer bar plate for a 3400? I got the saw in a box in pieces. Have been gathering the parts to assemble it. Finally have everything but the outer bar plate and screws for the cylinder shroud.

No one with a lead on the bar plate?

The cover screws are 10-24 screws


The bar plates are getting scarce. 530002603 or 530025924.

You could also add the bar tension slot to an old Homelite XL-12 (5/16" bar studs) outer plate.

Heres a add on ebay for some various Poulan bits & parts, got a couple bar plates in it.

7500 in the cut.
Gotta tune them in the wood for sure, since everything except the 4200 is governed.

I think the outer bar plate number is 530010829.

Gregg,

Thanks Gregg, I saw that ad but was hoping to pay less for a bar plate by itself. Strangely the inner is still available new.

That must be a tiny check to go through the center of the washer. The washer center is .132 I squeezed a Homelite check in, but doubt it was correct.

I believe 530010829 is for the bar clamp (clutch cover assy) for the 3800. The two numbers I posted are for the outer bar plate. The 530002603 PN was used on the 2XX , 306, 3400 - 4000 and the 530025924 was the 4200, 5200 outer plate with an adjuster slot added which fits the 3400 - 4000 series. I guess they they superceded the early plate to make the one fit all. The 530025924 plate is a little larger but works fine.

They are tiny. Longer than the Homelite one and maybe a little smaller diameter but not by much.

My 5200 came to me with the HS 168A which is the 4200 carb. Same as the 176 but no governor. I assume it got changed out somewhere along the way.
