Nik's Poulan Thread

3/8. Someone’s already pm’ed me fyi. It is a D196 mount bar.

That's what it looked like in the picture above. I stocked up on 24-32" NOS Poulan/Windsor bars back before I knew this site existed 15 years ago. I have plenty for my needs although all have been mounted and used now.

This saw is a beast!!! Can’t wait to shed the banana bar and put a good loop of LGX or EXL on her.

Anyone have a decent outer muffler for a 245? Mine is cracked where to bolt goes through and is cobbled together with a second homemade tab to hold the muffler in.

Part number? There’s 4 or 5 different types. Latest tin cap was a single screw 530024096, & there’s one on fleabay for less than $25, lol.

Has it still got the correct tin muffler?, or the more common P306 cast muff?

Single or two screw tin cap?

Third mounting boss in the cylinder fins?, or no boss?

Single screw tin, I’ll check out that listing.

Well the banana bar is getting put out to pasture...it’s an .050 bar but 90 percent of the bar will cleanly pass an .063 chain. Plus the nose is nearly siezed.

I’ve got a near new Stihl RSN bar and homelite410 adaptor that this will get shortly. Plus I can get rid of the doggone 70 DL chain.

Third mounting boss cast into the cylinder fins?, or no boss?

I’m going to pick one of those caps up for a spare, but he shows to have 4 on hand...

Say, what’s the story with the double walled fuel line on 4218 family of saws? I have one here where all circulation has been cut off. I’m going to replace it with regular line when I can get to the parts store.

Low permeation lines, per 2012 EPA & California CARB Tier 3 laws.

The dual wall tubing quality you’ve shown is a real shitshow, but don’t change it out for Tygon on customers saws!

4218 5020 got that crap. Change it out before it clogs carb too.

The newer PR5020 had different lines thank goodness. Why I brought that up on the one I worked on this year.

I’ve got this nearly new 42cc 3314 sitting here. Recoil was broken (I’m sure someone pulled themselves to death trying to start it lol) and when the purge valve depressed and didn’t come back up I knew there were other problems. Sure enough it was collapsed at the filter. So I tried to remove the line from my parts saw and same darn thing.

That 2nd pic down was a line I installed to watch in something of mine. Not much use at all. 1 year and it did that. = crap line

They forgot to add " May contain substances that may cause cancer in the State of California". I've always wondered why it can cause cancer in Ca. but nowhere else LOL

Everything causes Cancer in California. Even cancer causes Cancer in California, along with lead paint.

Today I picked up a 3400 and a Power Mac 320 for $1.00 Both have good looking pistons, and spark. The 3400 needs a recoil repair, either clutch cover or chain brake, air filter and very top cover. This is one with a green top my other 3400s have black tops. The air filter appears to be a little different.
And here I am trying to cut down the heard.

Hard to beat two saws for $1

 

[leecopland]

Hey Tim, hope you are coping the the Covid. 3400 chain brake needs a couple of pins/bolts but looks pretty complete.
