This must be search for Poulan parts night. I'm gonna be needing a muffler for the old 5200 I started on. I was wondering if a 4200 muffler would work? I'm guessing not. The exhaust port on the 5200 is pretty fair size. I know some parts are interchangable others not, between the two.
This thing must have been sittin for some time. Was a real mess, but so far I don't see any reason this old beast shouldn't breath again. P/C look great! and I know thats half the battle. Had it all apart and cleaned things up. Was gonna put a new set of rings in it, just because I thought I had a set. Turns out that the rings I bought, some time ago... from some fellow on ebay aren't the right ones. They are twice as thick as the Poulan rings, and the ends fit around the pin style, instead of butting up to the pins. Have no clue what they might fit, could be a Husky 385. So maybe I better hang on to them..lol
Gregg,
Greg, the 5200 rings are 530023645 and you can still order them. The 5200 gaskets and seals are still around on ebay as well.
Yes the 4200 muffler is the same no problems there. Actually the P/C are the only things different between the two that I have found. Well the carbs are technically different as the 4200 carb is not governed while the 5200 is.
