Check the cap, tiny hole will clog up with crud, dad's saw had done it a few times.

Help Support Arborist Forum:
New fuel caps are pretty cheap. These saws are much unloved but do a job if looked after.
Need some info from the masters with 34/37/4000 bow saws. Installing a bow bar on my build, how much trimming on the case and clutch cover is needed to get the proper clearance, Pictures would be nice. I'll need to lengthen the chain also, what count are you running, #7 drive sprocket on saw, 3/8 chain, something for me to go by, haven't counted my drive links yet.

Does anyone out there have an electronic version of the 4900 IPL you could share with me?
Thanks!

Thanks!

You want to make sure to drill your corners out before you cut so it dont crack in the corner later on. I'll try to post the picture tonight
I can do that tonight as well.
But so you know the only difference in it and your 5400 is the P/C and the top cover color
Muito obrigado irmao Marco

That guy from Georgia who posted here that he rebuilds bows makes the guards and will sell them to you
Many Poulan IPL's here as well as others.

The 4900 shares an IPL with the 4400 and 5400. Other than labels and paint, the P&C are the only mechanical difference.
I remembered someone posting about the bows but couldn't remember, mind slipping some more.

Checked the cap this morning. Has a duckbill valve in it. Seems to be clear so believe I'm good there. Also thinking of getting a chainbrake cover for it. Only difference is this saw has the bar adjustment screw on the saw body whereas the chainbrake cover has the adjusting screw on the cover.
Mine too, took me a while to find this.
It will answer your questions other then your chain length. I do know for the right Poulan 13" bow you need a 80dl chain and on a 14" a 87 is called for. Without knowing the brand of the bow and the size, I can't say for sure but it should give you a starting point. As for the guards, the guy went by Bowmaster here. Not sure if he still visits or not but i have his contact info.
Dumb question, how do you measure it, across the widest part, top to bottom?

Good saw. I would like to know how many of those 3.7 - 18's 3700's Poulan cranked out for Sears. They seem to be everywhere. The nice thing about them is they have a 3400 / 3800 flywheel and pulley which are a little easier to find.

This is my second one from this scrap yard. They laid them out for me instead of crushing them. I also got a 4000 that got pretty badly damaged, but I think the cylinder, piston, crankshaft, crankcase, muffler and top covers survived so I plan to put those parts on a 3400. I have a grey 3400 and 3800 that just need carburetor work, so the search continues for a cheap/free blown up one.
