Saw is a dolmar. The mountains cant remember what he said years past in pics.

Roger,

What are those features mid picture as far as you can see?

I don't like splitting elm either although I've split far worse stuff.

Those are the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

Dolmar 120SI. I have noodled up a cord of that Elm with it now. It has a 20" bar on it.

Nice looking Dolmar. Needs a nice looking bar on it.

First time on this thread cuz not much of a poulan fan. I also have many, 10+ ,poulan limbers under different badges, BUT, I did pick-up a 1001 the other day and did a quicky look-see..You seem like "da man" on POULAN so I put this to ya.. Looks like it had gotten warm/hot at one point cuz there's been some ozzing (tech term) of something coming from somewhere but it found its way to the base of the flywheel.. Seen this before? Compression within reason, 130+, and spark. Question is.. Is it worth putting it on the bench,? or put a coat of paint on it and let it be a paperweight? It's a big ol saw, but not one of my biggest, but would serve well as a backup. Thanks, K

Working on my 4000. New rings and the usual additional stuff; seals fuel and vent lines and carb rebuild. Saw ran poorly. Wondered what was wrong. Pulled fuel line from tank and forgot to put a filter on. Pulled carb and pump side screen was clogged from crap in tank. Cleaned it and voila,runs fine

Usually helps to have a filter on them.

Can a micro run - base gasket ?

had one I put together w/o. let 1104 set overnite. was not sure if it'd work, but did. ran it for a while, then sold it.

Good to hear that your 4000 is up and running, I hate when I forget what I forgot that I was supposed to be doing and didn't do it. I got my 4000 running and like yours wasn't to good, changed the duckbill, no help, had to put a new pump diaphragm in and she is a runner. Those 4000 sound so strong.

Don’t have any carbs that would use it.

 

[Todd Loosli]

That's interesting, almost wish they would have made a kit for the HDB carburetor but not sure if I want to spend the 20.00 + for it. Maybe they will have one in the future. Let's all call Walbro and ask for it

beetlejuice I aint the guy to talk to about the older stuff. Like mid 80's up to 2000 or so.
