No wonder the piston is shorter on a 246, as so is the stroke - it surprices me that the piston work well in a 5000 - but I sure believe you when you say so! :biggrinbounce2:
My new 500, lets talk Partners.

Well not really Sir, They are 53 cc 46 mm bore according to acres site and chainsaw collectors site I have been reading on. I still have never seen a poulan 325 come through the shop in all these years.

In the past month I have seen two of the 500s, one all yellow, the other yellow and black. Must be a sign, I should go back and get them.
Well, they may be 52cc or they maybe 53cc, whats the difference? You think I can keep every number straight? Point is its not the same as the 5000.
My factory service manual from Poulan says its 3.2ci, how many cc is that? Acres site does not list the bore and stroke on it.
I know my 3300 is supposed to be 3.3ci and 53cc.
Yeah you keep believing every thing Acres site tells you. Remember Acres says the 325 is the same as a 5000 plus H plus which is 49cc or 3.0 ci.
If I want to see a PP325 all I have to do is walk out to my shop!

Sorry to ruffle your feathers Sir on 325 being 3.2 ci is 53cc
We are all learning new stuff. Even as old as I am Sir I learn new things on these chainsaw forums. Just take bore times stroke and you get your answer again 53202. cc. Yes Acres site has a lot of mistakes Sir. Bore size was on chainsaw collectors site in poulan 325 thread you posted in. Every poulan 3300 I worked on back in the ninety's has been 54 cc running 20" bar with .325 safety chain.
Have a good day Sir

Thanks again Mike, someday i will figure out the picture thing.
Yeah, the 500 is in really good shape, runs like a dream. The 5000 is well used but seems to be mechanically good. The guy i got it from bought one of those little stihls with the spring loaded ripcord, whatever they are called. He said the Partner was too hard to start. I know it's fixin to pull my shoulder apart....a **** load of compression.
I understand the adjustable oiler on a 500 is unusual ?? I think these are probably the best firewood saws i have ever used.
and yes, the handle on my 500 is cracked too....

Yeah maybe it did ruffle my feathers a bit, to be called out over 1cc that even you know that I knew from a prior thread someplace else. What was your point? You never get a figure or number mixed up?
My whole point was pointing out some differences between the 5000 and the PP325. Now other then the 1cc displacement part, tell me I'm wrong about something else in that post.
As far as the 3300, I have a Poulan chart here that says its 53cc. I always thought it was 54cc also, so I guess it was just whoever made that chart up that day.
Oh, and don't call me sir.

Will put them up tomorrow. Nothing special, big front hole with interior pipe going almost to the cyl. Can put the stock deflector back on for work.

The P540 is 53.2cc (32mm stroke, 46mm bore - nominally), like a lot of other "E-lux brand" saws was some years back. I assume that includes the PP325, but am not sure......

According to Magnus it is the same as the 540. Yea I knew it was 53cc but old age must be running at me and I cannot keep em all straight anymore.
I mean hell at last count I think I still got 70 or so runners. LOL

Ime, Magnus some times stretches the term "same as" a bit too far - some times "basically similar" would be a better expression!
He also some times show lack of knowledge about what happened outside Sweden, and stubbornly believes in misprints that Husky made in brochures etc, just because it is written "on paper".
Anyway, he and his site is a great source of info - just don't take for granted that everything is true.

The only info I have on that is that the 5500 was a pro model with more power, and the 540 is a later "semi-pro" model, with less power. I guess the cylinder porting and/or the intake is different, and then the obvious differences, that you can see on he outside....
Both are 53.2cc though!

You know you maybe correct as I'm too trusting sometimes and too busy (or lazy) to check myself.
This has got me thinking though and since I have IPLs for all three, the 5500, 540 and PP325 I took a quick look at them.
The 5500 and the 325 share the same piston part # but the 5500 only shows the flywheel for a heated handle setup? They all share the same carb.
Freakin Partner IPLS suck, as neither show the part # for the cyls or at least I cannot find them. Maybe the 5500 is a closed port setup and the 540 a open port? Hard to tell without them here for sure.
The 325 maybe a combo of both the 5500 and the 540 when all said and done.
The 325 is for sure not the same as the 5000 though although they do share alot.
