Doctor told me to get some "greens" in my diet. This is a start.

Guess its a little different than a 2300cva. Which model Poulan is this?

Thats a 2300 unless it has the antivibe on the front handle on the other side, then it would be a 2300AV.

Damn good score. There were also MANY Craftsman grey versions of those made too. I worked on dozens of them when I was at Sears service. Replace the fuel line, tighten up that chain, and have at it. Get more Poulans too...

Thank you for the thread!

There is another on CL but it is in Indiana. $20 doesn't run:

I picked this up today for cheap. Hardly used Poulan 2300 cva. Everything looks new minus the gas line. It is cracked in two spots. Compression is 135-40.

I don't know how many of those I've picked up like that with nothing wrong other than a rotted gas line.

Update: Just put the fuel line in. I didn't follow Marks procedure. This thing was so easy to take apart and put back together. That is all it needed other than sharpening the chain. I am impressed. It screams for a 38cc saw. Can't wait to do some limbing with it

Want that one? I seen that and I work right beside Hammond and could probably pick it up. I was thinking of doing that anyway but I just get tired of C/L sellers who for some reason dont put a phone # in there add...

No the procedure I listed was for a solid handle micro. The CVA's are the same but still different if you know what I mean.:msp_smile:

Do I want that one? I couldn't justify the hassle for you and I over this saw. Thanks for the offer. I may hit you up on a "bigger" CL find some day. I used to want them all. I gave away three minimacs (one was a runner, one fired but no idle, one didn't run but was in near new cosmetic shape). I have also learned how to "catch and release" saws. I have some keepers in my signature line but they are forced earn their keep.

The procedure: I just wanted to take it apart. I had the mechanics wire ready to go but really, I wanted to see what's inside. Easy saw to work on.

How does that work? My wife wants to know...:msp_sneaky:

That's one of the best ways I can keep chain saw funds covered up! It is a whirlwind of chainsaws coming in and leaving. I am constantly buying other tools and selling ones I don't need. To my wife it looks like the same money being recycled over an over again. Most of the time it is :msp_wink:

So what is a yellow Poulan Pro 180 top handle? Looks like a 2300. Any different?

Pretty much a 2300. No AV and has a chrome plated bore.
