Here is that little degassing station I threw together!
Not fancy but it works for now.

I would say REDNECK engineering at it's finest. Even if it's from a yankee......

We have you on video and if I ever make it to a GTG you will have to teach me some of that good guitar music.

I did pick up a little Craftsman 2.5 Turbo (Poulan 2500) today. Needs a sprocket, fuel system renew, and cleaning but compression is very good and overall a nice little piece.
Does anyone think it will pull a 7 pin lo-pro on a 16" bar (with a proper muffler mod of course)?

My ported (hack job) by me 2500 has that setup with a 12" bar and its pretty quick. As for everyday use with a 16", I'm not so sure of that.

Thats an awesome set up Mark.
I usually dump my 2 stroke fuel in my walk behinds 2 gal tank. But that came to bite me in the a$$ 3 nights ago. I guess there must have been some crud in a few of the tanks of fuel I dumped in. The fuel was fresh but I dumped it either to store or ship the saw.
I was using the mower at a yard I do and it started running choppy, then died which really sucked cause I was at the bottom of the banking. It seemed to be starving for fuel so I pulled the fuel line off at the carb, nothing. Then I pulled it from before the filter, still nothing! There was a blockage of crud lodged just before the filter in the fuel line, Easy fix at least!
Thanks for posting this set up!
I hear ya Joe.
I have been going through alot of trouble to get non ethanol fuel for the old saws and just dont want use it for anything else. This way I know its clean when it goes back into the jug when I drain the saws for storage.

The answer is YES!
I think you will be fine.
I'm gonna say it is going to surprise you how well it will do.
You won't be wanting to feed it a steady diet of red oak or hedge buried. But for the size you should be cutting with it, you will be "in tall cotton".

If a man has never put three tanks of fuel thru a 5400 blocking firewood, he has never lived....
Anybody have any tylenoyl?

Wimp.....
Just a little over 16lbs PHO was pretty light back then for 85cc....
Guess you should send that 5400 to me, I can stll handle it for at least 4 tanks. LOL

It becomes ever so clear to me each time I head to the wood pile, that im no where near 20 years old anymore. LOL
In all honesty, that saw is as smooth as alot of the more modern 85cc and up saws, and a whole lot more fun to run. Just a wee, and I mean a wee bit slower.
The chain on it here is brand spankin new windsor semi chisel. Weirdest stuff ive ever used. You have to push on it to make it cut. Even after filed and rakers dropped, still have to push a bit.

Very little wee...
We timed one against Greggs Husky 385 in about 28" wood and the old 5200 was hot on its heals only about a second slower. That could have been chain or operator difference only as well....
Matter of fact, it had my PP655 looking over its shoulder....

That I do not doubt.
How many drivers this thing use? I havent pulled the bar and chain off of it yet. 24" 3/8. I can set up a nice 064/5400/066 comparo if they take the same links....
Ive been busting my hump trying to clean up the wood lot. I had wood all over the place needing cut/split/stacked, and it was all right in the way for the GTG. Still got a pile to do, and burn the two big piles. And I still gotta get saws ready. Im waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind....
That depends on which bar mount is on that saw. If its the regular Poulan/Echo D176 mount or the Homelite D196 it will take 81DL...

Yea, every year I get jealous of the guys that attend. Long way from Texas but some day I may just up and go. Hell I'm retired so what does a long drive mean to me.

My 306A type dislikes.
Only a few things about the 202/306 get my goat.
1. The manual oiler rod offset end gets packed with saw cake and is rendered inoperable. Fortunately, the auto oiler works like a champ and you don't really need it.
2. The H&L carb. jets screws are buried behind the pull rope guide in a 'tunnel'. Plus, the L screw refused the line up with the hole in the carb. due to the casting interfearence. I fixed it with a rotary file in my drillmotor.:msp_biggrin: Geezers have enuff trouble seeing things out in the open.
3. I love the modular design
but, you end up with a lot of nooks and cracks for saw cake to build up. Hard to get him really clean.

I believe that's an HS carb you speak of instead of HL.
