No.
One is mostly going to be mostly just for that. The full wrap saw.
It is to me thats why one is going to be on my shelf.
To all the rest, thanks for the compliments
procarbine2k1, I would love to bring one over for you to try. They run really strong. I don't own any chaps though.

You turd. No really :hmm3grin2orange:. It just so happens that I got a pair of chaps for Christmas, so looks like were all set. May just have to get that man eatin' 090 of mine out for the special occasion haha. And besides, since the cutting would be on my grounds, we could just wear flip flops and shorts (may have to wait on better weather).
I couldn't resist. Funny how I can remember some things but not most. :help:
Let me know when, and I'll see if any of the green junks will run at that time. :hmm3grin2orange:

sweet!
Very, very nice Mark! I tore mine down today, getting ready for paint.
BTW, what size tap did you have to use for your custom fuel fitting? Is it 5/16-24?

Those look great 
. I agree with the comment(s) they look too good to actually use.

Yes, 5/16 fine thread. That's 24 right? I'm haveing CRS right now. LOL
Those things work great.
Here is what I hooked the fuel line up to on the full wrap saw.
I needed one carb and got lucky to find this NOS one.
I did notice that Poulan still list the original fuel line for these saws and curious, I had Melvyn order me in a couple. There the original thin wall style, 3/16ID x 1/4OD but they must have been in the system and on the shelf since 1985. Pretty stiff to me. Maybe I'll sell em for big dollars as NOS 5200 fuel lines on Ebay. LOL

Ones already running, and will get used some. The other will be up and running soon but probably won't get used.
Too bad I can't even search your posts
What size line did you use from the carb to the new nipple? The line I have here works great on the small tank side.
Brad, I used a 3/16ID x 5/16" OD on the carb side and a 1/8ID x 3/16OD on the tank side.
I used a small piece of teflon tape on the threads of the new fitting.
Also check the barb, the knot or whatever you want to call it on the 1/8 side of that fitting, I had to turn the end down just a hair as it was a little big and didn't want to fit through the 5/16" hole with the line on it.

OMG Mark those things are AMAZING!!!!!!! That one with the full wrap though is my favorite. It would look really good sitting next to my 6000..Hint Hint I wanna be 1st in line when the time comes!
Thanks Rick.

Great job as usual. I really like the looks of the 5200 series saw. The full wrap looks sweet.

Lovely. Just lovely.
Awesome job on the saws Mark!! They look to darn nice to use now. I sure hope a couple of them are able to make the next Poulan GTG, whenever that is..LOL
Thanks to your work, we can see what the older Poulans looked like when new!
Unlike mine, that looks like it was drug behind a dump truck for a month.
The 5200's are quickly moving up my list of favorite saws.
