those tanks are tight on the 2300 cva they do not slip out like a my micro type saws....no biggie i was curious if there was a way to tell the age of a poulan or craftsman clone.... thank you . When i do the lines i will look on the tank....
When you remove the starter side, it will almost fall out of the cover, don't forget to install that barbed line fitting back in.

May also have a date mold on the starter recoil.

you know its odd not one 2300cva micro i have seen has that barb but yes i know its purpose ... the normal micros they pop right out the 2 like new nos 2300 cva saws i just got are tight as hell.....i will probably buy some extra fuel barbs so if i have to fix the recoil in the future so its not a pain yes....

LOL almost 12 and im about to go out to my shed..... my wife is shaking her head....
My craftsman 2.3 av, bought it new in 84, may have to pull it out of the case it came in and pull it down some and check it, been a long time since I've had it apart. Replaced lines on it, cleaned her up and put it back in the case 3 years ago. Been sitting on the shelf resting.

Thanks stub, now I got more to do this weekend. Got me thinking and I can't remember her build date. Thanks a lot.

The kill switch does not look like a 2300 cva, more like a micro.

My 2.0 had that black switch and every 2300 cva had the toggle.
This is on a 2000 that i got from a dumpster find, someone rebuilt the carb and put the gasket on the wrong side of the diaphram, same switch.

i have never seen one my self... they all have the black one with the rod.... I have seen Variations of the S25da and S25 av and s25 counter vibes with toggles and some older number 25 saws and 2.1 S25 typ2 saws with a slide switch.... like this...So many variations would love to see a micro /2300 with a toggle ...I know the ones in Canada had chain brakes...some....

I take it back the rear handle version's have a toggle switch the poulan 2100/2400 PP236 i think also and the real handle craftsman 2.3 has a toggle never seen a pp235 so dont know on that.....this is the rear handle ones they do have the toggle....sure would like to get one of these as a PP236 ..... im going to get my mint 2400 back to round up the collection.....be neat if they made a red and black version of the rear handle.....
