20160323_213212.jpg Scored a 2007 Poulan P3314 for free last night. Spark plug was loose and top cover missing. Its been sitting under a deck for a few years but covered with an old futon that reeked of death. other than a bit of rust and some dirt here and there, looks almost new. Cylinder looks amazing inside and the rest of the saw looks great where it counts. Going to try to start it up tonight and see what I get.

Hi, I'm Matt and I have CAD. I now own 8 Chainsaws.

Pics to come tonight.

First time Poster here but have been lurking on the site for 2 and a half plus years.

Here's my 2016 deals.
The 044 is a 10mm wrist pin and all that has been done to it is new fuel and replace the spark plug. This saw has less than 100 hours on it. Paid $ 350 for it.
The 357xp is a 04 model that i picked up for $225 needed a new bar and chain catcher. The large dogs and roller chain catcher were 3 bucks cheaper on baileys.

Have a top cover if you decide you need one. Not bad little saws if tuned correctly

I love cheap poulans, they are more than half decent and easy to fix or work on and cheap and easy to replace parts. I have a bunch I found free at curbside on trash day that needed a fuel line or primer replace or chain on backwards. I use mine for stumps and roots and to loan out. Also great for experiments such as first rebuild or port job or muff modd.

Leecopland - Well gosh darn. I just ordered a new one with the decal and screws for 30 bucks all shipped. Oh well. Maybe I'll get lucky and they will get it wrong. I'll let you know.

Homelite - I dunno what the fate of this saw may be. I didn't realize how cheap they are to buy. Seeing as I won't get much out of it selling it, I'll probably just keep it for when someone asks to borrow my MS660. I really wanted to sell it and put the cash towards a MS361 but the market isn't going to bring me that much for this saw.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll try to fire it in the morning. I can't help but wonder why it got left in the rain. Sad to see any tool let alone a half decent one go to hell like that.

Be careful that it's not set TOO lean, most are from the factory and burn up quite quickly. Most that you come across are scored up for that reason. EPA insists that any 2 stoke is set as lean as possible. You may have to remove the plastic limiters on the carb adjustment screws lots of mention on this forum.

And then you get this... The build-up around the spark plug is a mixture of chrome plating from the piston and aluminum from the piston and cylinder. I suspect this was actually straight gassed. There is no real carbon build-up anywhere and it looked like brand new.20160326_193748.jpg

The grey saw still needs some port work but it sounds good and snappy. I'm not gunna worry about it till after the staples mn gtg. It's much quiter then the Poulan with or without the silencer. It was a fun to be continued project

Scored a 661c and a 261 cm today. 825 and 450 respectively. Both less than a year old and in great shape.

Have a 2004 026 pro for sale. Needs the carb adjusted by someone that knows what they are doing. Has an updated walbro carb with 3 adjustment screws. Was rebuilt in 2009 or 2010 when the cylinder got cooked when it leaned out too much.

Not sure how to post pics on this site. Sorry.
