Hey guys where do you all order your stickers from for your poulans. I am needing one for my 4000 clutch cover. I picked this saw up this week for a good price. Just needed a new gas tank and fuel line.View attachment 780155

John, that's a super sweet example. If you find a source for your decals please share. Decal sets for earlier 4000's are available, but I've not seen any for later saws. I think you may have to have them made by a sign shop. I have a NOS 375 drive cover I'm thinking about taking to a shop to do just that, if I can make the time. Again, very nice saw! Max.

Here is the decal set for early 4000's. Maybe they'd be willing to make several if enough of us would commit to purchasing. I'd be in for 5 sets of the later decals depending on price.

Scored a gray craftsman (3800) at the salvage yard; was missing pieces but p&c looked great and fired with dribble and compression at 125. Bought and installed clutch cover, AF, AF cover, b&c, carb kit all the while wondering why it was stripped; ALWAYS a reason.
filled it up and figured out why it had been sacrificed. Dam fuel tank has tiny split at the filler neck. Had looked at it but missed seeing it. Tried fixing it with soldering iron but no happy. Not the first time I've had to replace a tank.
So!! Anyone got a fuel tank for 3400, 3700, etc they'd let go? Got green stuff and parts for trade

I see that...looks like bb 395 cyl. With the balance of a 5200 or 5400 crank its a high rpm monster. And with the solid mount carb setup instead of the husky bellows.....wow...should be reliable too

I was thinking sugar creek was the name. Thanks

Nice clean looking 4000. Looks like a later one.

Yes it would be from the 6900, 7700 and 8500 era. Pretty rare saw IMO. I have had a good amount of the older versions but this would be the 1st of this era for me.

Figured out who you were now on my site.

Anyhow old pic of saw when came in on trades. Can see the tank laying in back with 3400.

Nice saws and pic, JJ. I'm sure it's been asked before, but where can I/we find the barbed teat fitting for our fuel lines that should lead to a duckbill in 3400-4000 tanks? I'm sure OEM is no longer available, but hope there's an alternative. Have a great week everyone, Max.

Finally got the seals and put this 53A together.
Tried to start it, but its pouring gas out the carburetor. I replaced the needle and seat and the gaskets are in the correct spots. The HL has a high speed governor check ball thing, I'm thinking that is the culprit.

Pulling the carburetor requires dismantling most of the saw, so i'll leave it on the shelf for a bit until I feel like working on it again.

Loads of them on eBay, that's where I get my duck bill valves by the dozen.

Nice 53A! Is that the owner's name and information engraved into the cylinder cover? Pretty cool! Back in the day RFID type theft prevention tech. Simple but effective! Max.

Steve, I hear you. I'm referring to the device that you put onto the end of the fuel line that you attach the duckbill to, then pull to/through the tank vent hole to prevent leakage or seepage. I'll see if I can find a picture tonight to post. Max.

 

[FamilyTradition]

I may have answered my own question. Here's what I'm referring to. Not identical, but close I believe.
