As much as i love my poulans, i have to say the baddest saw ever made was the sp 125. Hands down. I dont think anything can hang with one, even after all these years.

Guess it'll be a nice project. Don't understand you guys wanting these saws you always have to work on and will never run.

Maybe with some more work it'll run smooth. They can't all run well I guess

The guy i bought all my poulans from awhile back was aervice manager for poulan for years until the shop went out of buisness. He then went to work for a case dealer that deals stihl for a number of years.

When we were talking he said people get all wound up over stihls, then he pointed to the 5200 and said "these here were the real deal".

Can't wait to get started on it. [emoji38]

A Poulan shop went out of business... guess the service couldn't keep up with all the repairs [emoji6]

This is what happens when my kids wake me up at 4am

Husky bought them out then made them make their cheap saws that they didn't want to put their name on.

Go back to bed, this is what happens to me when I have to go to work instead of working on a saw.

The 111's are great, the 125 is just a mite better IMHO.

I'm finally home at least but haven't been feeling well for days now. I've got the kids today while mama is at work. Maybe during nap I'll pull out a saw and hold it for a bit

I'll dig around, may have some parts somewhere.

They're worth whatever the buyer is willing to pay LOL! [emoji23][emoji41]

I've never seen a 105cc Remington with the planetary reduction sell before, so I can't say what you'd get for it if you were to sell it.

P.S., watch out for a cracked coil, if your coil is cracked but still produces spark, paint it with liquid tape to prevent water from ruining it.

The coil is cracked to heck. I was able to locate a wire and was able to successfully solder the spark plug lead back onto it. I was going to use marine epoxy to hopefully seal it better. My spark is very bright when a reasonable RPM is achieved but I cant help but feel that starting will be difficult. Do you think this unit has any degree of collectivity? How rare/common are these GL-7R saws?
