I do not think I have ever seen a ring that bad out of all the saws I have pulled apart.

Here's that ring.

That's some notably unique ring wear!! Thanks for posting up that picture!!

I haven't either, my first. It's getting the top end replaced with an over size kit.

The wear was at the exhaust port if that means anything.

Hey Tim what is the saw in your avatar?

I'm guessing that was the one in Kitchener. If it was, it was a chain brake saw with no brake and the wrong spike on it. It looked nice but way over priced.
For that price it should have been perfect with a $100 thrown in.

 

[ScreamingBeaver]

Ya the one in kitchener .

Hi Roger,
As I seem to living in a Poulan vacuum right now I couldn't resist it. It's really, really nice 266XP. Built in October 1998.
On a Poulan note. ATV season is approaching and I tuned my PP295 up and cut some ice storm ash firewood today with it. I would say it doesn't have the torque of my 285 but what a great trail saw this will be. It runs like a top and cuts really well for it's size.
I'll send you the pics of the orange saw in a PM.

I was just curios I have since I have accumulated a few of the orange ones my self lately.

The PP295 saws are great little saws for the money and I really like the size and weight.
I have a couple of them now that I have modded and they always put a smile on my face when I cut with them.

This saw is diving me nuts! Saw has good comp, spark and freshly cleaned carb. It will only start on prime and runs very fast (WOT) until it dies, 20-30 seconds. Could it be an air leak? You can see the fuel pumping thought the line. Both H&L set at 1 turn out. I swapped the WT for a WA from a 2000 exactly the same result. Help please.

We'll let me see.

Try adjusting the needles out more to 2 turns.
Is there any spray coming back up out of the carb.
You can pressure test the crankcase.

 

[s sidewall]

Fuel spray can be from the reed valve not seating

Also try to run it with the gas cap loose, maybe a stuck duck valve in the cap.

Check the spark arrestor and make sure it is not plugged.

 

[s sidewall]

Those are great lil saws.

Sounds like a vacuum leak

A 295 with a muffler mod is a nice little saw. The last one I picked up needed seals so I did a little port work, opened the muffler and edged the timing up just a smidge. Wow! That is an impressive little saw! It's still one of my favorites. Some of the guys who cut with me laugh about it until is starts slinging chips.

Last one I did with those symptoms was the reed valve not closing. It would spray fuel back. If you're not getting spray back through the carb throat then I'd check for a vacuum leak.
