Nik's Poulan Thread

Yes Bob, that's the seal. Make sure you have the oiler cover screws in the crankcase when testing those.

Good thought. I didn't. Will replace them though it didn't hold pressure prior to me removing the pump. Has to be somewhere. Back to the drawing board. Thanks, Mark.

Depending on how you're testing and blocking off, don't forget about the spark plug threads as a possible leak source. Just went through that. If it was a snake it woulda bit me twice.

You could be right. I tested the muffler, carb, carb adaptor and cylinder. No visible leaks. Seals seem okay. Only thing left is the spark plug hole.

Found some NOS 75 / 15 stuff. Guess I will trade or sell it later.

I update all my saw to the newer 505 stuff is why I wont use this stuff.

I've had them leak badly around the big O-ring on the 4 bolt bearing carrier on the FW side. Spray soap bubbles around there too.

I will PM you on shipping that 3700 out, we didn't renew our test contract in TX... so I won't make it down by this year end.

Be a good time to put all your S25 oiler caps & diaphragms in with it for rebuilding.

Been in the woods this week on a draw cow elk hunt, like the Arby commercial "We have the meats"! Wished I had packed in a S25DA with Canola Oil...would have been faster quartering her out! That area burned 3 years ago, killed all the trees but the elk still use it, go figure...


Half a back strap from one side, vacuum packing the fillets. I need a bigger cutting board, LOL

They are the mesh ones. Not flocked.

I run the updated mesh on all my poulans in series.

Price less then ebay prices shipped.

Ok. Got frustrated in not being able to find the leak. Stuck the saw in a 5 gal. bucket of water but no air bubbles. Really frustrating. Was planning on selling it but can't in good conscience at this juncture.

Are you able to do a vacuum check Bob? If you can't push any bubbles out the seals may be leaking under vacuum.

Will try that again. I tend to hear air escaping near the carb but can't get or see any bubbles. Thought it might be the impulse hole but still no bubbles.
