I am thinking with this saw, plus the reports you really can run them with the stock settings, and the muff is already open, and a strato design that apparently meets all EPA regs without having a closed cat can, etc, is leading me to believe Poulan might have turned a corner and is on the way back to making competitive saws.
I mean, who knows? Maybe a coupla years ago they were sitting around poulan intergalactic headquarters and some dude piped up "You know guys, this building saws really ain't rocket surgery, there's no law says we *have* to build crap saws. Let's try one a little better quality like in the olden days, price it well below big orange brother here
I think you're on to something here Zogger. I just found out over the weekend that the Jonsered handheld blower that I bought 2 seasons ago is in fact a Poulan. I never read the tags with my glasses on to see what factory it came from, my Mower guy saw it in my truck the other day and told me, (yelled at me) that that what it is. I demoed the Echo blower that he sold, and did the same with the Jonsered, and I thought the Johny was better. I thought it worked better and deffinately felt better in my hands. I have carpal tunnel problems so fealing better is important.
He's also a Jonsered dealer and at the time didn't stock the blower that I bought. He doesn't like selling them because'' its only an EPA rated 50 hour motor.'' Well I didn't want to tell him that the thing should be dead then cause I've run it through its paces. I use it to dry my motorcycle, and dry the critters that I trap before I skin them. Kinda like an industial strength hair dryer, along with a little landscaping work now and then. My reveiw is an A+ FOR SURE! I've never touched the carb settings, and its run great since new. It starts easy but does take 20 seconds to warm up when cold started.
My only disappointment now will be if I find out that the yellow Poulan model could've been bought for less dough. I think I payed $139 for it new.I got a discount cause it was the dealer demo at that time. May be Poulan is turning the corner on there product. I'm wondering what there string trimmers are like. I'm in the market for a back-up
