Blackhawk eh? I worked under a Blackhawk UH-60 for a while...I wonder if the Poulan version has the same 'roar'...

The real Poulan guys will answer your questions, do you have good pics? We want to see it.
Poulan BlackHawk, BH2160, no different from the lime-green series, e.g. 2150.
Just gave it a black motif, kinda like with WildThing, nothing special about it except the "WildThing' logos, purple covers, etc.
Altho it is using a carb I'm not familiar with,,,,

I'm pretty sure it's the little bro to the Wild Thing. I think it's 36cc's and has a 16" bar.
You can buy the same saw in WalMart or Lowes. It's just isn't marketed as a BlackHawk.
Oye... Electrolux and their silly marketing....

but this saw isnt the epa regulated saw like the ones you but at the stores today. the saws you buy today are pieces of :censored:
Yeah, it's silly, but those saws have their place.
A logging siderod that I'm buddies with recently went down and bought two of the Wild Things while they were on sale (I think he got both NIB for $75 each.)
He swears up and down that they're fine running saws and do 90% of what he needs to do. Keep in mind this is a guy who keeps a 660 with a 36" in the box on his shop truck and his bucket saw is a 440 with a 28" bar.
Silly, crazy, whatever you call it, and throw in all their 'types', wonder if anyone knows their scheme.

The Blackhawk is just another name / color / sticker set for a typical 36cc poulan standard line saw. Blackhawk, Wildthing, Woodshark,etc.. The EPA has their hand in all commercial 2 cycle engines. Your Blackhawk will have the non catalyst muffler, but with limiter caps on the carb jet screws.

does it depend on what year it was made

Guess who's back
Doesnt seem to matter, they are all runners. That thing looks like it could do some major damage.

That is a nice saw as long as you don't cut wood with it.
