Thats why it's a group thing . Excellent repair of a common problem.

While I don't have a Micro, I'd assume as a general rule, you would want comp over 120. The higher the better. Reason I say 120, is simply that the ole 3400's run great at 120 and 130-135 is the highest I've ever seen.

Had my S25DA out yesterday to cut down a small tree/brush. Ran great and chain didn't turn while idling. Guess that's my "Waterloo", as the chain turns on my other 3. I've flipped flat springs, cleaned sprocket, etc. Just ranting.
Morning Bob...Almost too hot outside for cutting wood!
Check those other three saws’ sprockets for binding when fully tightened down. No drag at all, even with the brass bushing types.
There should be at least .015/020” sideways shake or slop from side to side to keep dirt & heat from binding them up.
Since available replacement sprockets are all aftermarket Oregon or Herr now, I’ve had to belt sand a couple of sprockets’ drive side faces to get the proper clearance opened back up.

OK. If I hear you, I may need to enlarge the bushing area. Not sure I understand "beltsanding the drive side faces"? You referring to the sprocket face so it doesn't bind on the clutch cover?
No, the spur gear side.
@Todd Loosli here is a c 2.3 version. https://www.ebay.com/itm/CRAFTSMAN-...938989?hash=item213f2e982d:g:F88AAOSwSEZa71zY
If I come across one cheap you can have it for cost.

I saw one of those a few weeks ago for $30, can't remember where I saw it though.

Not looking for anything but lime green
The 2100 version I gave to John's son.
Like above. Should be able to come across them 20-50 at most.

Do any of you guys have a repair manual for the Poulan Micro's you could share with me?
Thanks
Thanks
I have a 2300 that smoked the piston and the rod end is blue, can I use it or is it junk 
I got you covered Tim. Give me a couple days until I can get to my home computer again.
Thanks Cory
Morning bump on the hot rod
I'd be kind of iffy on running it. If it was a car engine, it would be replaced. I'd would try and get another rod if it was me.

I dont see any metal damage or did I miss it? I run saws like this . New bearings and measure the pin for wear. I fix snowmobiles and see this all the time in the shop . I checked my mail and found a care package . Thanks buddy will put these baby saws back in the runner class.
