Nik's Poulan Thread

[Hoggwood]

Micro is oiling adequately now. Although, I've no reference to what it should be doing when ideal. I ended up swapping out the 1st Poulan (green) duckbill I put in the banjo. Although it passed and checked using mouth pressure, it seemed the crank was not able to charge the tank sufficiently. I refitted the banjo with a smaller dimension Homelite duckbill and it fit, passed and checked much better than the larger/longer Poulan. Sharpened the chain, and managed to get the carb dialed in. Cleaned it up and shelved it for now. Vibes remind me of the S25DA.

I am tempted leave it topped up, wrapped and ready in the back of the truck. You never know when...kinda like a set of jumper cables.

Why not have both chrome plated, compression problems?

It looks like it's oiling well to me. The only issue I can think of would be that on a hot day the saw would start oiling in your truck.

Run it 2 times a month minimum it will help keep the saw fresh oil can go bad after a while of sitting seals can dry out. Keep it alive even if you don't put it to wood. My homelite zip was a turd to start this year cause it sat so long when it normally fires in 2 to 3 pulls

They are probably all made in the same factory - just running different lines.......

That very well could be the case.

Do you have $1095.00 (minimum) burning a hole in your pocket?

I wouldnt give shipping cost for one of those green dolmar.

And I bet that 6000 would cut better if the chain wasn't on backwards....Maybe thats why he only used it on one tree.

Gregg,

That is comical. It is like new though. Another girl that will never put out.

Gregg,

It'd be $1,500.00 with the chain on the right way .

That's a stump trenching chain, that way you can cut the roots off with your other saw.

Maybe it's a factory prototype, has a reverse gear.
