I think the exit on those mufflers are on the back. I have seen saws melt the plastic above.

There does not have to be much room on the side for a muff mod. Here's a mod I did on a 3400 a few years ago. I put a slit in with a small dremel disk, heated it with a torch, worked it with a large screw driver and finished it off by pounding in and chisel and shaping around. There was no exhaust port on the side before I started.

That looks like good work! I had a very restrictive aftermarket muffler on a stihl 026/ms260 hybrid. I drilled two 3/16 holes in the front of the muffler for a little more flow and it seems to work pretty good. It makes the saw a little louder tho.

That's good news. Have ya looked at the spark arrestor screen to see if it is clear of carbon ?

I pulled the muffle and looked at internals right after I bought the Saw and it didn't seem clogged. I'll probably pull it back apart again today and have a looksee

This might be a dumb question but will the bolt holes line up between a WJ-9 walbro and a Tillotson hs-260
not worried about the linkage
The venturi is 1mm larger on the Tillotson

Not attempting to thread jump but I know no other way to ask. So here goes, I recently bought a Poulan Pro 225 from a fella in the Trading Post I would like to now buy a case for it. If anyone has one that fits the little saw and you want to sell it please pm me I may be interested. I am going into the Partner thread and post the same message. Thanks for your time and I apologize for jumping into the middle of things Thanks again Jeff

If I didnt give it away already. You can have 1 I had for a new 2000 bought back in 94.
Thats if the last guy here that left with 3 saws didnt take them all. I told him to take all the cases he wanted. As I cant stand the dang things.

@stubnail67 someone was saying to make sure you use the fuel line barb fitting connector on your 2300CVA. They dont use them on the CVA as far as I can tell from the ones I got in.

I made this alteration to it after I pulled it

Yea i looked up the ipl and did not see it either... thank you for always going the extra mile for information....

......I would like to now buy a case for it....

Should be able to find one with another saw in it for twenty bucks or so! I see em on CL all the time..., usually super cheap.

That is a dumb question, because you'd be lucky to find someone to have both of those carbs side by side, lol.






Kidding aside, the Walbro WJ-4 used on the late Stihl 056 Magnums also fits over the Tillotson HS-118 carb studs, and both the carb series "box frame" sizes are the same, so yes it will!

Kensie, thanks for the pictures. I have not seen the PP310 muffler. It looks like your screen and diffuser are open and ready to go. I have the 40cc version the PP255. I think you'll like that saw.☺

That was me on the barbed fitting, i know it's on the standard and AV, never personally looked or had a CVA in my hand, figured it was all the same.

Ohh I love the Saw already! Just trying to make sure I'm not going to run it too hot, I ran it again today after the carb adjustment and it was still getting super hot.

I run my PP255 with 39:1 . Have you looked inside the starter side of your saw for clean air inlet slots and to make sure all the flywheel fins are good ? Then remove the plug and turn the flywheel by hand .

It might not hurt the reason for the barb is so you can work on the recoil....

I'll try to look tomorrow but I'm sure I have one around here. You would just have to cover the shipping.
