Got some Poulan parts today
Anyone want to guess what this is?
Or how about a full wrap for the 5200?

Of course, I know the answers but, will refrain. Nice aluminum welding though!
I will be catching up on a bunch of videos on sunday and will be sure to post the 91 barking and snorting.
Wow! Your on a roll lately Mark:yourock: A truck load of saws + a bunch of dandy old accessory goodies! Not to mention the the big PPro comming..

Gregg,
I hear ya, Gregg! I ain't gonna feel sorry for him anymore.
That is a nice bow set up for one of your 245s.
Looking good Joe! I'm jealous when I see someone working on a super clean 4000 like that.
I suppose there is no need to tell you, but there is somebody on ebay that has been selling the gasket kits for alot of the older Poulans. The kit has that intake gasket in it.
I bought one of those gasket kits for a S25 awhile back, and used it the other day..LOL I had to tear one apart, just to see how they were put together. Replaced the seals also just for kicks. The saw runs great too. So, I now have 3 of those S25DA's in great running condition.
Good luck with the 4000, thats a beauty!
Gregg,
Thanks Gregg, I had bought an XL12 set but I havnt seen the 4000 set. Ill look into that. Im glad I caught that leak now otherwise that 4000 would be all show and no go!
Thanks, I think so too, just hope the deal goes as planned.
Joe them old Poulans are pretty tough, I had a friend bring me his 4000 here a few weeks back complaining how it had been reving way high and screaming. He went ahead and run it till it quit!!!!
I expected the worse when I found the 2 bolts holding that intake manifold had broken completly off and was the reason for his air leak.
Believe it or not the P/C was still perfect! I pulled the jug to remove the broken bolts and that did make me pretty nervous. Pretty tough drilling holes centered in a # 10 bolt.
I got em drilled but they didn't want to turn out easy with a easy out, but after a few heatings and coolings with a propane torch they finally came out.
Put a new gasket back in with 2 new screws and back to the woodpile it went.
I have seen more then one intake gasket look like yours and I'm not exactly sure how they get that way but everyone can see they need to check there saws for this.

They are tough for sure Mark. I noticed those bolts were loose. What you think of that gasket I used?
I don't know why they call them "easy outs". I've seldom found anything easy about them!
