Don't think that an 8 pin rim would change the level of 'awesomeness' of that PP336 either way.opcorn:
More speed, less grunt - kind of a trade off. Right?

Exactly. As with energy.............'awesomeness' cannot be created or destroyed. Just changed from one form to another...
Brought in by the original owner today for me to go through. :msp_wink::msp_biggrin:
If'n he would part with it I'd be glad for it to make a trip to Louisiana **sigh**
LOL I did set up a NE 346 with 16" and 3/8 for him per request. He only uses the 325 for a back up to his MS310 with 16" 3/8 that just got stolen with his splitter, welder etc. Fing :taped: :rant: THIEVES! I think most know what I think about them by now.

Not only were they theives (which I hate as badly as you) they were STUPID theives!!!
They took an MS310 and left a PP325?
Now THAT'S the poster child for stupid!!!

The word Poulan on it probably saved it. Little did they know. :hmm3grin2orange:

I think the one on the left is a 4400 5400 etc. I think the earlier 4200/5200 had a little different design but could check later.
The ones on the right look like a 306/245 version.
yup just looked at the 306A parts diagram. you are correct again. now just that single?? thanks a bunch

Hey guys, hows everyone doing? Got another Poulan today in my aresonal. I picked up this one from one of my friends. He blew the clutch in half on it and the gas line was bad. I felt bad cause he did not have a good running saw so I traded him my Homelite 150 for it. I would not have got rid of that 150 for it but the handle bar mounting system was messed up a little (I had to zip strap the top part of it on) and it did not fit into my Homelite collection too well because of that. So today I put in a new line and cleaned the carb on that 295. Just need to run to the junk yard and pick up a clutch and chain for it for it. Too bad I did not have my 2500. Could have just popped it off from that one. Anyways this looks like its in good shape for how much wood he cut with it. Perfect piston/cylinder. View attachment 276825View attachment 276826

I still think its a 530042064 for the 4400, 4900, 5400 etc.
Like I said, the 4200/5200 were different style if I remember right.
If I think about it I'll try to document that this weekend by looking at some saws....
That part # is still in the Poulan parts system BTW.
395
I finally wrapped this one up. Not that it needed much, I rebuilt the carb and while I was there I replaced the fuel line too even though I replaced it about a year ago. I traded one of my 61s for it, I kept the white top 61 traded the grey. I used it a while back to cut some maple with my cousin and it ran awesome. Used it once after that and was bogging and hard running lousy. Now it runs great. Very strong saw andjust north of 150psi. Its wearing that bar and chain off my 3800 (another fun project to get to) it came with a real nice Carlton bar but needs a chain, plus I knew Id hit some nails cutting that skid up for kindling and the safety chain will be replaced anyway. It will be fun running it in some real wood.

I really like the PP 395. Great running saws and easy to work on. The one I have looked like it had been used by the wrecking crew but it is a runner now.
Nice looking saw Joe.
I would flip that saw upside down and check the 4 engine mounting bolts and make sure they are tight. They have a habit of coming loose on some of these saws. Other wise you got yourself a good 46cc saw. I have a couple.

Hey Guys and Gals,
For the last few days I've been rolling something around in my feeble little mind and I'd like to know how you all feel about it.
The other day I posted about how stupid it was for someone to steal an MS310 and leave a PP325.
One of the many reasons I say that is because of the vast registry that Stihl has of their saws.
When you buy one, the serial number goes into the data bank and if it's ever stolen, you can report it to your dealer and they can mark it as stolen in the registry.
If the thief, or whoever bought it from the thief, ever takes it in for service at any Stihl dealer it will show up as stolen in the registry.
Due to how cheap large capacity memory is now days, I have been thinking about starting a registry for our beloved Poulans.
How many of us (I'm sure there are some) have the serial numbers of our saws, and any distinguishing marks written down in case of a theft?
If there is any appreciable intrest in this I am considering doing it.
If someone else wants to take the ball and run with it that would be great also!
So, what say you, Poulan lovers???
Mike

Mike, Are you sure you have enough memory or computing power to catalog ALL of Mark's saws?:msp_ohmy: Not to mention the rest of our vast array of Poulans.
Sounds like a good idea I suppose, and couldn't hurt. Some Poulans, like the 3400/4000 series saws just used a small sticker on the top cover, for the serial #. Might be easy to change or replace.But, I doubt many dumb-azz thieves or crooks would be smart enough, or go though the hassle of changing or altering them.
And what happens when we sell a saw. God forbid, I never have though. 
Sounds to me like you have a project on your hands. LOL

Gregg,
I don't have much memory at all!
That's why they put my name on my shirt at work!
Computing power is another thing. After 67 Mustang assured me that I could build one, I found out how easy it is to stick another hard drive in there!
My big problem is time, so you can be the keeper of the registry if you want!!!
Mike
Not a bad idea.

Gregg,
Theres alot of guys with more saws then me but never the less I just never had the time or energy to even document all my saws for insurance purposes. LOL
I and all the rest of us really should be doing this. Thats more important to me then documentning them from theft losses.
Makeing sure your homeowners insurance policy has enough contents coverage is important too in case of disaster such as a fire, theft or something.
