Nik's Poulan Thread

[Modifiedmark]

Mark, looks like someone replaced original carb on my 5200 with the 4200 HS168A. Both saws show the same carb. Guess there is no governor to worry about. Thanks for info.

I have not had any luck finding the pictures. Could you post a link to the thread? When I try using the search engine I get everything except what I am looking for....I must be doing something wrong...

Not to worry, my camera still works. Kinda wierd seeing these in orange.

 

[redunshee]

Yeah your fine without them, the 4200 and 5200 carbs are the same in every other way.

I figured so. Thanks.

Oh I'm just culling the herd. Want to get into the 100cc club or close to it. Have a Husky 288XP in Vermont so a 066 doesn't seem to be big enough of a differance, cc wise. 088 is too expensive and overkill so I may have to look for a Husky 2100XP or something similar. Don't ask me why I need something that big. Only other saws I may sell in the future are a Skil 1647 and a Dayton of the same size. Poulan 3400 clones so I doubt they'd get 3400 money.

Ya know your wanting to come off of one of them 4000's to me also!:greenchainsaw:

Only have one left so I'm keeping it. May have to find some other saws to spend my time and money on. Seems alot of guys find deals at Estate sales, etc. Not here in the Dallas area. Not enough trees.

Oldie Sandcast Poulan's

Here are some of Igpoe's Poulan's. In this first pic from front to back is a K100 bow. The next one back with the straight bar is a H200. The two-man of course is a Model 52. And bringing up the rear with the round bow is a model 82. The other two pics are different angles of the same.

Thanks for posting Steve. As of today they're all runners. (knock on wood)

Gregg, I know you've been cutting some wood up there, but it must be about time to burn some starting this weekend.

 

[MS460WOODCHUCK]

I know you guys have said before what you use to seal the gas tanks on the 306-245 but I'm not really wanting to read this complete thread in one setting to find out and the search options are not helping me either.

So, what have ya used and had good luck with? Hopefully something I can pick up at napa, auto zone or advance auto because thats all there is around here.

Went and did it. F$%#%^ UP

Well tried to remove welch plugs as carb was running terrible and that was the only option left. Unfortunately I ruined carb. Anyone have a line on a Tillotson HS168A? None on Ebay to date.

How did you ruin it?
Drill too deep?

I might have one. I'll look tomorrow.

Nice saws there Dean Tell me some more about that 52, whats the displacement on it? Is is compareable to most of the 2 mans from that vintage?

Gregg,

Gregg, isn't that 47 also 92cc? I thought it was pretty much the same as the 71-A except it don't have a auto oiler.

Gregg, I know you've been cutting some wood up there, but it must be about time to burn some starting this weekend.

From the way it got cold here today, the stove in the shop will be fired up this weekend from the looks of it. :bang:

I'm going to have to lay off the saws for a bit and get this snow plow adapted to my new truck in the next couple weekends.

Permatex MOTO-SEAL.
Good stuff!!!

Way to go slick! :hmm3grin2orange:

Sorry I don't have a spare, but maybe I can find something else to work.

Be carefull with those plugs, thats why I only use a drill press where I can control the feed. I had a close call once and almost screwed one up myself once. The bit hit the bottom but didn't do much damage.

That's a sweet saw there. He just got it a couple of weeks ago. IIRC it started on the first or second pull from cold that day.

I have found that a small little end mill works good so the point can't into the carb body.

Fired the wood furnace up Monday. Been cutting pretty steady lately. Trying to get a jump on next years supply for myself and what I sell to some friends & neighbors.
