Bought a new Poulan Pro 5020 to see what there about

[2Twannabe]

Yes they are very affordable, so affordable that the cost for the first two years is free. Its called the two year warranty and should be used when needed.

Otherwise your right, I looked and a new oiler is around $5.

One other thing I found when looking is a IPL for a Poulan Pro 4818A that apperars to be the exact same saw as the 5020 but for a 18" bar.

Anyone seen one of these out there?

You sure about the 4818? They make a PP4218, but I haven't heard of a 4818. The 4218 is a little different. It has the no-tool chain adjuster on it and an inboard clutch rather than the outboard clutch the 5020 sports.

Havent seen anything on 4818.

But my 5020 came in and it is 5016. :msp_tongue:

You should know better then to come in here and say something like that!

Googles probably getting wore out right now from jokers looking for a Poulan Pro 5016 :hmm3grin2orange:

Yes I'm sure, I have the IPL for it and yes I know all about the 4218.

They are on the home depot website. Never seen one though, my local HD does echo/ryobi/homelite I believe.

Local tractor supply does husky and poulan, but only the very smallest cheapest poulans, no poulan pros with antivibe at all, not on the shelf anyway. They push the home owner huskies.

No, the PP4818 is real. There was a discussion about it on here a week or two ago. Anyway, it's the same chassis as the 5020 so for the weight I'd rather have 50cc.

It is 50cc, look at the IPL, same parts other then bar and chain.

Mark I wonder which is wrong? IPL or the pic of 4818 The Home Depot


Says 48cc on sales ad too.

 

[LegDeLimber]

just a quick look in: Snapping a few pics as I go.
so hope I'm getting the exposure close.
(low res on the [old]camera's monitor screen)
will sort and post if I got any useable shots later.

found some of that small chip/dust packing happening under the pump cover.
Pulled everything including p/up tube all good & clean
all the bits look undamaged.
no stripped/distorted plastics anywhere though (Yay)

gentle doses of starting fluid for wash and and easy touch of air
and towel dry. verify flow through all passages including
pump plunger ##cylinder/tube , pick up coil/filter.

( ##really tempted to measure/calc area of those ports
and open about 20~odd? percent
but deburing the internal cross drilled passages , afterwards,
is more than I'm up for today )

Wish I knew if that vent tube [ #10 in pdf-ipl ]
pulled out
and reinstalled from pto side
but not gonna risk messing w/today

If you looked at the IPL it will be obvious that the picture is wrong.

Not surprising after how long it took for the 5020 to even appear on the Poulan Pro website.

 

[2Twannabe]

Well, the part numbers for the piston kits are the same, but there seems to be some misinformation out there. There's nothing on the Poulan website. Northern Tool lists the PP4818A, but then specs the engine as a 42cc. Something smells fishy!

See now me being a betting man is betting home depot has the wrong IPL posted. 5020 info on a 4818 IPL.

Pic shows 4818 48cc saw

I'll take that bet!

Homo depot isnt the only one with that IPL.

Yep went looking and noticed that too. Hmmmmmm

Guess HD must have wrong pic till I see one in person.

Wonder when they will call it 4616 next.

This is what threw me off http://www.homedepot.com/buy/poulan-pro-pp4818-18-in-48-cc-gas-chainsaw-967198201.html#.UTOHcFc4HV4

 

[Chris-PA]

Lol - I looked at the IPL but never bothered to compare the part numbers. Poulan certainly has a rep for marking the same displacement all manner of things!

And why bother making an engine 2cc less anyway?

 

[rms61moparman]

Don't overlook the fact that Poulan badges their saws as anything they want as long as it isn't MORE than the actual.

Selling a bigger saw engine in a smaller labeled case is nothing new for them!

Well then my saw is neither a 5020 or 5016. It is now a 4616 by gawd. :msp_tongue:

Yep, now I guess its a good thing I quoted your post before you deleted it.
