Nik's Poulan Thread

Thanks Mark, I have a couple of those. I find that design rather attractive.

Attractive maybe, functional to a point. That point is displacement. Seems when they get much over 60cc in that design they don't seem to last very well. That design doesn't lend itself to very good cooling.

Poulan, Homelite, Pioneer, Lombard etc all had saws of that horizontal design and they all had problems when going to the 4 and 4.5 cubes class as you see a lot of them with smoked pistons.

I have a question. I should know the answer, but I get confused when I see the word Micro:

Is the Poulan Micro Super XXV Deluxe a 38cc saw?

There's a two saw deal on feePay that has my attention; I'm sure that most of you have seen the listing & relisting.

I'm pretty sure it is. The regular Micro xxv is 33cc's. the Deluxe Micro XXV is 38cc's

no deluxe ment it came with a longer bar.

so what does the super mean? Some of the Canadian saws are listed at 38cc with the super designation on a website that is not known for complete accuracy but it is all we have, except for those who know.

Ok, I'll spell it out for you. The original Micro came with a 10" bar. The Micro Deluxe came with a 12" bar and the Micro Super Deluxe came with a 14" bar. No motor or displacement differences.

As for the Canadian saws, who knows for sure...

Acres site list the Micro XXV Deluxe at 38cc's and the MIcro XXV at 33cc's. There is no Super designation. There are errors on that Site, for sure and I guess we found another one.

Dear Former Poulan Marketing Departments,


Thank you for the confusing names and numbers that you chose for some of your chainsaw models.



Sincerely,

Good Morning: Does anyone know a good source for rings for a 3400?

I am in the process of a rebuild and find that I need some. I can find a vendor on line but have no experience dealing with them so a recommendation from you guys would be a big help.

Thanks Frank

Just a little 3400 info. Compression readings on these saws is typically 125 - 135 psi. If you are in that range it is doubtful that new rings will improve on that.

So very true.

I have had very good results getting them from dandrikop a vendor in Greece. Fair overall cost and fast shipping for a chrome piston Craftsman and a chrome bore Husqvarna. My last 2 projects. He sells Caber rings, perhaps a bit more expensive than some Chinese parts but my Poulans are worth it.

Thanks for the info. That was the vendor that I was thinking of.

I have one saw in that range and another at a solid 150. Who can figure?

What a surprise! Got my dirty 4000 almost together. Pulled jug and cleaned up a little and replaced w/o a gasket. Prior to pulling jug, my comp read 150. After replacing it and removing gasket it reads 135. WTF! Plus that's with a little 2 stroke in the cylinder for assembly. Man, I was hoping for 155 or 160.

150 is fantastic for a stock 3400. Even w/o a gasket I don't have one reading that high.

That's unusual for sure! I have a 3800 that high but no 3400's even close.

That's strange. Any chance the "O" ring on the comp gauge wasn't seated or got nicked?

Let us know how it runs.
