Nik's Poulan Thread

[redunshee]

I posted an ad on here but I thought I'd hit you guys up too. I'm in need of a 3400 starter pulley oem number is 530069290i believe. Or the whole starter housing as long as the pulley teeth are good. Thanks

Let me look. I have several recoil assemblies of various colors. Not sure how many have the pulley.

How collectable is a Model 46? I have an opportunity to pick one up with a bow, seems big but interesting. I'm sure it hasn't been run in years and would probably be a project; any idea on what the compression on an old saw like this should be? Thanks

Not to many around, 120 compression bow 46 would be nice

Bows by themselves seem to go for big money on the bay, it might be worth buying for the bow alone, especially if it can be used on later models. If I get it I'll post pics.

A bow from a 46 will pretty much only fit Poulan reduction drive saws, not many others.

Picked up a Craftsman 3.3 recently. In pretty good shape but the is a gauge above the intake port. Don't think It will clean up. Anyone have a 3300 cylinder that's useable?

My strongest running 3400 has a gouge above the exhaust port. You'd cry if you saw it. Take any sharp edges off it and see how it runs. You might be surprised.

Merry Christmas guys.

Has anyone else tried to get a hold of the guy that has the 4200 listed on Craigs in Pittsburgh? I left a message with contact info about an hour after it was posted and no reply. Tried to contact later in the day no answer - messages full. I figured I would take a shot even after reading the ad. Here's the listing content:

"Couple ac with remote compound bow and 4200 poulan chainsaw trade for car open to cash offers as well"

It's the holiday season I'll be nice with this one and say nothing...

I did see the ad but never replied

Guy on CR from Pa offered me a 4200 that runs but floods and 2 other saws for 150. Just not my series and passed.

Look like this?

What are the other two saws? Non Poulans?

Ask wigglesworth about gouged cylinders if you want a good laugh!!!

How many different top handle version and models did Poulan make. This is the first super deluxe I've seen, ive seen a few micros. What's special about a super deluxe? Don't know exactly what model type the other one is.

Steve

They made so many models of that Micro as you know. The Super XXV deluxe may be just another 2300. A few models had a chrome plated cylinder like the 2350 and the PP180 and likely a bunch of others. Maybe a larger carb? Other than that, I can't think of anything else that would be different so I guess you'll have to do some ID on the parts against a standard 2300 IPL.

I don't see many Poulan Micro's up here. Tons of Micro rebrands in Sears, Skil and Canadian Tire models. The Craftsman models run faster as they have better colors and stickers. I only have the one Poulan and that's a nice PP180 (38cc) that a friend found in the dump.
