Nik's Poulan Thread

Out of the junk pile at a local *** shop. Runs. Negotiations are ongoing. Sometimes it takes months.

That's not rough, the saw just has a lot of "character"! BTW, don't clean it before negotiations are over. It looks like it has a lot of potential! Good luck! Max.

Think these 3 are a pair. Windsor 3/8-.050-18". 3400

All they needed was a little persuasion from the 3400...

Here are the S25AV & S25 pro

Nice job, Cory. Also, nice looking 3400 with chain brake. Very, very clean.

I have developed a secondary condition to CAD. Self-diagnosis is leaning toward FCD, or, firewood cutting disorder.

FCD, Firearm Cleaning Disorder, at least around my house.

Found a grey craftsman (poulan) 3.7 today. No scoring, fair compression, and got spark. Just needs pto cover and the spark plug cover. Anyone got any?

Anyone?

 

[Todd Loosli]

By spark plug cover are we talking about air filter cover

 

[jerrycmorrow]

yes

 

[jerrycmorrow]

Eh?

Very much worth that!
I'd be interested if I didn't have a new one myself already.

Looking for rings for a poulan 4000. They are unobtanium so i know im gonna have to cut rings for a larger bore down to fit. Anyone tell me what a good candidate is?

 

[s sidewall]

LIL Red Barn carry them? I've gotten burned on a 3400 piston kit but the rings looked and worked great. Piston is in the scrap pile but I saved the rings.

I wondered how their parts were anyone ever bought and used poulan 2000 piston kit? Are they not good?

 

[s sidewall]

The 3400 piston was supposed to been chrome plated, it wasn't, just polished aluminum. Toasted my cylinder along with the piston.

That stinks. The two WP bearings probably did not fit correctly either (piston heated up & pressed in).

Knowing the track history & looking at his ads, the LRB 3700 & 4000 piston rings are standard 1/16” thick ones & not the special OEM thin rings. Won’t interchange. The two above model rings’ are not cast iron either, they’re steel.

Too bad Jerry didn’t catch those ten rings on eBay a few months back, I was glad to see that guys 530026003 ring stash.

The 530024756 thin rings for the 3700 will be obsoleted next, need to squirrel away a few pair of those too.
