Nik's Poulan Thread

[fossil]

The wife just puts a clear plastic bag over my head and cinches it around my neck with big cable tie. I think it works pretty good but for some reason when I come back inside she just looks and says something like, "Rats, it didn't work again".

Wonder if these newer ones would work. Look neater then the ones I used to have to wear.

I will have to look around and find out what is available. Usually no body out there except me so I do
care what they look like.
The eyes do feel better this morning. Put some drops in last night before bed and that seemed to help.

I threw this out at da other site,

I'm in need of a 5200, er someone who could bring one back from the dead?


It ain't for me, just someone who is loyal to the green that I need to do sumthin' for.

Thanks,

Happy Holidays!

The PP365 came with 3/8's chain.

I have tested informally both 3/8 x7 against .325 x 8 on mine and really couldn't tell any difference between them. If there is, it aint much...

Use what you prefer or what you got.

yup, checked the 365 today, 3/8 spur sprocket. the 335 has the 325

No, no, no,

the guru of Poulans.

Mark don't give a crap on me, I know he does good work though.

I need someone to step up for a fellow 'go mango' lover and restore his saw to BETTER than new.

I don't get it. I thought you were a saw builder and what does Mark have to do with rebuilding one. I have a 5200 and if I want it rebuilt I will do it myself. I know what it takes and all the information for decals and paint are all available here for the asking. I am sure that it could not be any more difficult then a Dolmar.

So who was it fellers? Someone got a good deal. I didn't post anything on it until it ended, didn't want to crap on someone's chance on getting it that had already seen it.

played with some little saws today with iron Mike, very old blue sears 2.3 25DA, a craftsman red 25DA with power sharp and we built a 2300 cva out of a few parts saws. It was a fun day before going back to work tomorrow with it pouring rain here.

Thanks for the clutch, Kevin. It arrived today and is already installed


That is an awesome find! Where in the world did you find that? I would be all over one of those!

I actually just ported one of those today. It was one of the newer yellow ones. I pulled the base gasket and still had .045" squish! I threw the jug on the lathe and brought it down to .020". I was more than surprised when I tested the compression and found an astounding 205 PSI! She makes RPMs too. I saw 13,200 while tuning it

I just found Sachmo's post to be somewhat confusing. I still don't get it. Mango saw! what the heck is that.

Someone on a local CL is selling a Poulan Pro 225, I don't see that one listed on Mike Acres' site (looked under "Poulan Pro" section.) Is it similar to another saw that's more common? A search found very little info on the interwebs, so any specs, opinions about the desirability of the saw, etc., are all welcome.

I'll have to see what I can do about that. I'm anxious to see how it does in the wood too.

Ok, now I get it.

I put that guy on ignore along time ago, seems the post don't even show now. Works for me.
