Yes I did.. I'm not much of a POULAN guy.. I do the tour through CL every morning.. Working on a 361 POULAN now.. Sure reminds me of my XL-12s. I like the hard body's on the older POULANs.. Kinda like a tank. A heavy tank!.

Got a Super XL Auto sitting on the bench I've been messing with, needs a carb kit and lines now. Replaced the coil week before last.

Cool, love the look of the Super xl. Should be a nice saw when you get it running.

I always have a project saw on the bench. Whenever I have a few minutes I can tinker with it.

Saw looks real good, low use saw. Paint and all the writing is intact, bar still shiny brushed metal and red writing still intact also. My son inlaw's find along with a few other saws. Wished he knew how to work on them.

You cant own a 925 without a super ez, treat that saw right and it's the most angry 40cc also run narrow 3/8 chan on it and not LP

I took your advice and picked this up. Nice little saw!

I've only managed to go through a couple of them so far. Got the Jonsered 70e cleaned up and running well. Cut with it yesterday. Goes well, lots of torque not a lot of rpm. My pm700 seems to out run it, which is contrary to what I read about the 70e?

You may be tuned a bit too rich. My 70e is by far the baddest saw in my fleet. Heres a little video. Shes tuned a bit rich here.

The 1-86 is in paint!!!

 

[LoveChainsaws]

2broke, your 70e is flat throwing the chips. Nice!

 

[mogulmasher]

Hmm, 2broke that jred is cutting pretty nice for sure. I was cutting in similarly sized wood, but it was pine. I thought it ran well....maybe could do better with a little more tuning, but my pm700 just ran REALLY well. Lol Mac was even pulling 10" more chain.

I'll work on it some more and see what I can do.

I see a Counter Vib on that shelf. And a Mac roller around cart.

She's definitely tuned rich, but seems to be cutting good.

Ya, that was maple, 20" bar totally buried. It was about 100 degrees that day and the saw was still running on a winter tune. You can here it fourstrokeing on the first cut, then it cleans up and gets down to business.
Yours looks like an early saw. Recoil and muffler are different than mine. You're sure it's a 70E?

Poulan 3400.
That Mac cart was my first work cart. I ended up buying one of those harbor freight ones when I moved to my current job because it's a lot bigger shop and I end up being further away from the mother ship a lot more

Black cart in first picture, looks like my Mac Tools cart.

Well the 1-86 is coming along. Still working on the muffler, really need a new one. And I need a sprocket and a bar and chain. Hopefully it runs lol. It ran on spray prior to the teardown. I cleaned the carb and it looked really good inside but may need a kit yet, we will see.

 

[s sidewall]

That car looks just like my Mac cart, saw starting to look good.

Steve

 

[2broke2ride]

It is a Mac cart. Bought a harbor freight one for work so brought this home. The shop I'm at is big so sometimes I'm a long way from my box and needed more storage on the cart.

What kind of muffler is on it? I'd have to check, but I still think I got one of the round chrome mufflers on my parts 1-80 saw.
