Nik's Poulan Thread

Not to play the role of 'Dr Obvious' here, but the oil passage up to the chain groove is clear, yes?

Yep, thoroughly cleaned out the bar.......

 

[Eccentric]

Not me as of yet. Just weird that they wouldn't provide a number. They offered to ship it if I Paypal'd. I said, not without speaking to someone, gimme a number. Response was, there is someone else picking it up.

Some serious red flags there Tom...

 

[jerrycmorrow]

Can someone shoot me the crank seal numbers? C.R. or National or ?

And, the ball bearing number. 202? w/snap ring groove.

Also, a good color match for the 202 yellow(?) paint in rattle bomb?

when you get the number for the 306 how bout passing it on to me. could also use the numbers for the 361 and 401 too if anyone has them

My thoughts exactly. They did respond from a email with a company name@ Verizon/gmail/whatever, but no name or number or anything. Hopefully turns out well for someone, but I doubt it will be me.

Will that 24" bar (pp455) fit on my PP375? i thought not that is why the saw is not in my possesion.

Here you go: http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/197286.htm

The ball bearing number is:6203N

So they gave you someone you could actually make physical contact with?

yes name and #, but like a said, two other folks contacted me first.

 

[thomas1]

I had no reason to contact you, I contacted them.

The inconsistency of their responses is odd. Typical CL, I the guess.

thanks kostas. good stuff there

 

[berniebenz]

Parting an 1800, 2000, and two micro XXVs.

One good 125 psi cylinder/piston set. one fair, 75 psi. Offer. Most other parts free for shipping. Hate to scrap if anyone can use. Speak up!

i am sure they got inindated with interest and they are a busy company, to them it was a $30 first come firts serve item. they did not want to deal with shipping etc. they are just doing their fall shop cleaning hense the other items they had listed.

See post by Thomas72 re clutch side seals

http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/114104.htm

Tim, those numbers that Thomas posted were not quite correct for the clutch side seal. The seal he list is a 20mm ID when the crank is actually like 17.5mm.

Thats why I went through the trouble searching them out again. Hotshot actually come up with something even better but I have not tried them myself yet.

I dont know what they are for the 361. Just get in there and measure them up and let us know what you come up with. :msp_wink:

 

[Modifiedmark]

I don't know who you guys think you are but obviously you think you are better than me because you know more about chainsaws. You and 3000 are arrogant, rude and malicious.
I've got news for you, I have been using chainsaws for 30 yrs and never got hurt. How about I start asking you guys about corporate finance? I am so dense that I have a BA in accounting, an MBA in finance (cum laude) and a 35 year career as a VP of finance for significant corporations in the Aerospace industry. So where did you think I got my small engine mechanical experience? I paid people like you to do it for me. So now that I am semi-retired, I am learning something new. Sorry I'm so stupid.
I'm going to leave you small people and find another thread where there are decent people who aren't so self absorbed and are willing to help "dense" people. Have a nice life!

Congratulations dude, you get to be only the second person to make my ignore list. Maybe you will find some good guys over at the Stihl thread.

Something got overlooked in my earlier post:

On my recent Craftsman (Poulan 2400) the the fins that support/hold the pawls are broken, but all of the other fins are fine. Has anybody else ran into this on a 2400, 2300CVA, etc.?

 

[rms61moparman]

I can afford to buy a new saw or two or ten and I can pay people to fix them but that is not my mission. I am doing this for the challenge, the fun and because, like you guys I happen to have a thing for chainsaws. Maybe it's because when I was young in the seventies and eighties, a $200.00 chainsaw was out of the question and I heated a house with wood for ten years from free firewood on my property. I bought two used ones back then that I kept running with no serious problems. I hand split all of my wood because an $800.00 splitter was also out of the question. I just bought an 80's splitter for $600.00 on CL that is clean and works beautifully. A big part of the enjoyment for me now is buying a 70's and eighties saw which I could not afford and the time, making them work if they don't and picking any one of my 15 saws on any day, polish it, use it and tweek it until it runs like new. Buying a new one is absolutely boring. Each of my saws has it's own shelf in my shed. I jump on my 70's sears lawn tractor that I bought for $100.00 and restored it. I truck into my woods or to my woodpiles with three 8 cu ft wagons in tow that I bought on CL in tow to cut or haul. I just bought a fully restored 1979 HS Tarm 140K MB40 BTU wood/coal boiler that I am currently installing as I did with it's smaller 100K brother back in 1979.
That is a little more of where I am coming from.
I am sorry if I had to ask the same question a couple of times but I never really got my answer although I thought I was clear with it and I thought it might have been unique to Poulan.
That was that It looked to me that the wheel was not round (and I don't mean perfectly!) such that the feet or brushes or whatever you call them were hitting against the wheel only in one spot by a significant measurement. And yes, I have limited flywheel experience but have worked on them and never experienced this situation.
You guys need to have more patience or announce to newbies that you don't want non-Poulan mechanical questions. Out of space!

Calm down!
Drink a beer!
Put your feet up and relax. When your blood pressure gets back down to normal, shoot me a P.M.
I'll try to help you any way I can.

Nope but I found that once on a S25. I'm not sure it broke on its own though, someone started changing lines on it and probably broke it takeing the flywheel off.

I did find that the flywheel off a 2300CVA is a exact match to the late model S25.
