Nik's Poulan Thread

[pioneerguy600]

Thanks Mark, for posting the picts of Chris`s really nice 655. I will try to find some of the decals for that saw of mine, the previous owner must have washed down the saw a lot as there is nary a sign of a decal ever being on it and the saw is very clean for one this old that was used a lot as a work saw.

Hey, I don't remember signing any release to post pictures of me! Seriously though, glad you liked them. I don't see any shots of the 2100. Mark, why don't you tell the guys which saw flung chips the farthest...well, at least once I got the chain installed right.

Mark also brought out some of his nice saws. The Craftsman 5200 was actually pretty nice and a good runner. Funny how people go out of their way to modify a muffler with pipes and one sees that Poulan did it from the factory.

To clarify on my BP655, it is not a boost port engine. I got it labeled that way. I do have a good boost port cylinder though, but not the matching piston (I wonder if I HAVE to use the BP piston.)

Chris, I didn't forget the red one, but it was getting late and figured I'd maybe start a new thread on it instead of just wasting it here in the Poulan thread.

And yes it threw the chips the farthest! Bad assed saw...
I hear ya about the picture release, but Mark H done the same thing to me so what the heck.

I really want to thank you for bringing those saws over, it was a blast and it was a nice visit!

1982 Poulans

Here is a link to download the pages of this Poulan brochure from 1982 I got recently. Don't know how to make a .pdf file, so I scaned them as .jpg files.

Page 8 is kinda interesting, showing some specs for the different models. Tells the composition of the various rings/pistons/cylinders. I know there was some disscusion on that subject a while back.

Each page is about 10meg file, but you can enlarge and read them well!!

Gregg,

Yea, there was more snow here in TX than at the farm in VT. Had to trailer sleds to the Mts. which was a pain and resulted in a lot less riding.

Mark, if I did that it would be the old pot and kettle thing, let's not go there.

Mostly only when I'm drunk!

That's OK, at least were not runts like some of them. LOL
