Nik's Poulan Thread

[redunshee]

View attachment 642617 View attachment 642618 View attachment 642619 Finished up a few saws recently, all needed minimal work and run very well. First was a 2900. First one I've done. Nice saw, better than I thought, did new fuel lines and it runs great. Took it in as cash plus trade for another plastic poulan I sold. 20" bar is optimistic but the guy who bought it was happy.
Next is this super clean 2800. This saw probably has 5 tanks through it. Rebuilt carb new fuel and pulse lines. Real snappy saw. I like this era the best, I never turn these saws down.
Finally a 1.8/10". First one of these I've seen. It runs good and with that 10" bar it will scream.

Is the 2900 similar to the PP295? I like my 295

I'd guess it is Bob, without the chrome bore of course. But it ran great, the new owner was sure happy with it.

I carry a 295 on my ATV. Great cutting, lightweight saw.

Nice trio Joe.

Instant collection near me on CL for $300. A little steep for "all non-running", but still wish I had the caish to snag the lot.

I wonder if the big one is a 4200 or a 5200?

It’s a 4200

How can you tell?

Says so in the ad.

 

[fossil]

That would be a good hint

I see some Deere in your stable in the background, wished we had one with a cab, all ours are open station. Be nice to have a/c and heat.

Just posted in the want to buy. I need a 3700 piston

let me check

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Did a poulan 330 up for a local guys order last night. Opened up inner baffle, put a gill on front cover side for dual port. Took a K095 bar 3/8 050 72dl and elongated the bar tensioner slots for oiling. Also so he could use his 72dl chains from other saw.
Then set a little fat around 12.8K with a 13.8K oem max setting.

 

[Acornhill]

Both of these are supposed to be 3700 cylinders but they clearly have different exhaust ports

the one on the left has the lip like 3400 one on right is like 4000

Can't see the difference in the above cylinders but you can in this, red is a 3700 the other is a 3400 or 3800

 

[Todd Loosli]

This is a ported 3800 that's almost finished

Let us know how it goes Todd. I have a few 3800's and I might give it a try.
