It also came with a new full chisel chain. I didn't bother to put it on since I am going to put a new bar on it this weekend.

I got the carb kit put in the s25cva today and it runs great and cuts great now. This little saw rips!
Nice score. 46mm means your the proud owner of a Poulan Pro 330. Like Joe said, its not a chrome plated piston but they do look shiney.
Yep, Joe & Mark nailed it, as usual.
PP330 I noticed the bucking spike on the saw in your picture, looks like the "longer one", which was usually seen on the 330. The 380 has a shorter one I believe.Gregg,
A little late now but what is up with the Poulan 655 Walbro carb. Cleaned it tonight and put new fuel lines getting ready for the spring Iowa GTG if it is still on. Is this carb governed in some way? I have never seen one with the outside jet and the deal with the rubber tit in it?

This is the first time I have taken a look at this saw since getting it. I amazed at how clean it is. I think it has had very little use. Only thing I can find wrong they had the bucking spikes upside down from new

Saws around here that big don't get used except for felling the big ones.
Get the big one off the truck. Cut the tree down. Put the big one back on the truck. Cut the tree up with the medium saw.
Hence, the term 'truck saw'.

Shane, I'm not a expert on those carbs, but I know that at least some of them were governed and some had a accelerator pump on them as well. I know the accelerator pump on mine has been disabled.
The brass plug with a slot it on the right side is the governor.
Too bad Arrowhead ain't around much anymore, he is the expert on these. You may want to try over in the Pioneer thread, Jerry is sharp on these also.
I don't think this saw even saw that. On the clutch cover writing in faded black marker is 84DL indicating it most likely has had nothing more than a 25" bar on it. They guy that owned it was in his 80s and I wonder if he was the original owner. Supposedly he owned hardware store and maybe this was his baby. A friend picked it up for me off a craigslist deal.

Best little saw ever
No, I never did get the cylinder off. Ended up taking the rod off of the crank.
Yep, I agree.. and I think this was Poulan's best big saw....LOL just my opinion.

Gregg,
I like those too Gregg
Here's a pic of my 2 now that they both run. Not a pretty as yours though!!
I like those too Gregg
Yes, I have another one thats not so pretty..LOL It gets used for work. Have a 4200 that gets used quite a bit also. I usually keep a 24" bar on the 4200, and a 28" on the 5200. That nicer one has a 30" on it. I think that is what most of them came with. Although I suppose you could get whatever you wanted on them. Even a bow.

Gregg,
Right now I have a 24" on one and a 20" on the other. I'd like to get another 24" instead of the 20", but that is just what I have on hand right now. That's a cool pic Gregg.
Just picked up a few saws today. Nothin as nice as Gregg's 5200! 6 saws total 2 poulans and a partner I'm not sure of. Nice 3400 and a micro wood shark. Good news is it's 38cc

3400 looks to be in pretty good shape Joe!
It's not bad. It's an early one. I have another one in the collection in great shape

That's awesome! I recently found one on CL that is UNUSED and I'm trying real hard not see if he'll ship it.
