Hey ya'll got my first Countervibe coming in the mail, super excited...but I have a stupid question before I dig into it. Oil Mix Ratio? I "know" 16:1 is listed and according to the old manuals I've found 32:1 is "acceptable" if you used "Genuine Poulan" oil....well question is I run 40:1 in all my other saws...pp330 pp380 pp335 pp505 pp295...and every poulan and craftsman I've ever had pass through my hands...considering the advances in lubrication in the last 30 years and all things be correct with the saw would modern oil and fuel be sufficient at 40:1?.... It's literally .8oz of oil per gallon difference.

Your good with 40:1. Just tune your saw to it.

Thank you sir, that's kinda what I expected but I wanted to just make certain

I have run 40 to 1 in my counter vibes and never had any problems but I have modified a few of them where I bumped up the compression and are now turning higher RPM's, so for extra protection of the bottom end bearings I use 100% synthetic at 32 to 1. That would be 1 ounce of oil to 1 quart of fuel.

40:1 is what I run in my 3400's and 3.7.

Tore apart a craftsman 2000 has catostrophic failure.

Happily you can buy another whole saw for $10.00 cheaper than a piston. Seriously though they are nice little saws.

Yep not much to those little 2000's. Reed valve unplated cylinder. 33cc. No anti vibe.

Someone needs to buy this poor FleaBay P245 & put that JD paint color out to pasture.

Mopar Key Lime green would look good on it.

That's horrible! Shew! Not all green is created equal...

Anybody do any cutting lately? Unfortunately mine have more regular dust on them than saw dust haha!

I went over to the BIL yesterday and bucked up a 1/2 cord for him. He broke his ankle and already had the wood.
I used my Jonsered 2083. Same as my Poulan 505's.

anyone on here have a copy of a poulan tool manual and some service manuals

...or the initial carb settings for the Zama on a PP5020? I'm at 1 1/2 out on the L and 2 3/4's on the H for one I've had the misfortune of trying to revive. Seem to be the "sweet spots", but.....

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

I ended up 3 out on L poge and 2 2.5 on H for 12.8k Ran perfect and easiest starts afterwords.

A little standing dead white oak that my buddy dropped off from a job the other day. Was a nice load of wood...
