Nik's Poulan Thread

I wonder which 2700 he has myself. The metal crank cased one or the plastic cased one? Guy said there was a plastic 2700 Canada. Never seen one to date.

Thinking there was a 2750 plastic in US and some were calling it a 2700. We had a thread on both years ago. http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/poulan/poulan-2700/

Get that gasket kits as they are cheap like 6 and the others might be needed down the road. Some are for other poulans too in series. .

2700 metal cased will be bare bore with chromed piston. Just like a 2800. Check the impulse line, fuel line, fuel filter, carb kit. Seem to be what most that come in need. 3x6 echo black oem line for impulse. Check you duckbill tank vent deal too.

2700 metal cased I had. Pic testing the blue stens out.

your piston look like this and bore dull like this? @J. Davis

I have a 3.0 49cc bare bore, chrome piston left.

Need some pictures

I'm pretty sure my saw has metal cases. It definitely looks exactly like the 2700 in the pictures above, other than being torn down at the moment. I've got a gasket set coming, so I'm hopeful that a new impulse line and base gasket will get me running.

Is there any knowledge on the range of adjustment for the H/L screws? My background in carb adjustment is dirtbikes, and 2 turns out on a typical dritbike mix screw is about as far as you want to go before changing jets.

On these I start from lightly seated on H L and open 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 to start and fine tune from there.

Is 120psi compression normal for a poulan pro 180?

3 tanks through the 4000 yesterday free of trouble of any description. Cold starting is still 5 to 10 pulls after that it's as normal and oiling very well too I never touched the pump during the rebuilding adventure

5 pulls cold start I could deal with, 10 no way, something amiss, fuel line fuel filter or carb adjustment

Yea somewhere in between it's like the carb loses its prime and needs to start again like its ran dry. otherwise It's running perfectly and holding a tune

Same here, pops on 3-4 full choke & fires on 5th pull with throttle lock on & choke half on from a cold start. No ethanol - 91 octane.

Next time you pull the carb, I’d check the fuel pump diaphragm for the dreaded “round bulges” on the two petals, & then pressure check that HDB carb again to ensure it’s inlet needle is holding 8# pressure all day long...guess that should be 55 kilopascal, lol.

You could also pressure test the carb through the fuel line with the filter removed.

Choke butterfly closing all the way & centered up? The two carb & two intake screws snugged down?

As hot as it is down there right now, you should be able to fire it up quicker. The duckbill will let the tank build up good pressure!

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

Yea I mite pull it and rebuild it never touched a saw carb yet. Yea don't worry about the kilopascal thing lol for most of us down here psi is still the only pressure value we understand. Not sure why kpa never took on and babies are still pounds too

 

[hotshot]

EDITED found the circuit plate pic

Yep, time for new diaphragms.

Good deal on the psi, our tires pressures have both units of measure.

I had a 3700 saw a while back with a piece of steel lodged in the jet. Factory fresh, as it had never been overhauled. The little screen was also packed full of ****.

Was it big enough to be in there from 1st assembly? Where's the best place to buy a carb kit from? Or are they all much of a muchness. Feel sad for you guys and ethanol fuel we don't get it here much only in the big centers and even then only on 1 or 2 pumps. Not sure why whether it be it doesn't last the boat trip here or what I'm not sure

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Broke my 16lb and over pho rule today. By alot.
Bought back a saw I traded off back in late 2010. Unlimited coil and about 5 tanks on new oem topend.

Wont be here long I got a feeling.

We were talking about that at work, this is America, not Japan or China. GM even had a questioner on our chat line, most all of us voted standard measure.

Yes Sir, from 1st assembly and it was stuck fast in the feed hole of the circuit plate. I found & added a close up pic of it, in the previous posting.

Good news on the lack of ethanol, we are just the opposite. Have to look for the non-corn gas at the big pump centers too.

Carb kits are cheapest here from Fleabay. Takes a Walbro #K10-HDB. About $8 USD delivered.

Cousin told me he had a 091 he needs the rear handle. Saw runs great, free find at the scrap yard.

It was a nice day (off) today. Took a few for a rip. Couldn't get in too far with the snow. Made some chips and grabbed a few small rounds. 3000 made some noise. Snuck a 750 and 272 into the mix to round it out. Came home smelling like 2-stroke. Family loves me.

 

[s sidewall]

Also he knows where 2 never used, in the box two man saws where at and also a wheel saw.

You should get that 090 (091?) Steve, buyers are paying stupid money for those saws now.

 

[s sidewall]

He's not selling it he just wants to fix it. My 5200 came from him, also gotten from the same scrap yard. He's supposed to let me know exactly which size it is, 091 or 090.
