Nik's Poulan Thread

[s sidewall]

Nice saw JJ. I was only commenting about the words on the bar being upside down for the picture. Guess they took it the wrong way. But when I tried explaining what I was talking about, jerks came out of the wood works. I guess I'll keep my pun intended to myself.

I've seen it here Steve. It's the pack mentally folks have to pile on.

I also read it the way you said it was, he didnt know what he was doing running bar upside down.

When I went looking for what you were talking about last night, today.

Are you ready for RIP jr this is a more likeable saw that doesn't take a lot of changes to the case but you have to plug and redrill the holes. It uses the stock carb and air filter system. It's a mild mannered strong saw

It is a husky 272 cylinder and piston, cheap clone , 52mm so you have 71cc. It runs like a 4000 but stronger.

Rip jr I love it

This man deserves a round of applause


Well done Todd

 

[FamilyTradition]

Todd, that's slick as can be! I like how the cylinder cover is flush, the 3700 AF cover is drilled out, and I really like the muffler. BTW, do you have an endless supply of 3400-4000 CV saws to work with? LOL! Well done indeed. Max.

 

[Todd Loosli]

Thanks, I had to get a case off flebay. I got a muffler but it doesn't have the 45 degree angle at the bottom like the 3400 and didn't fit. The muffler is from my original 3400 and my last one. It's been to darned cold to do a video but it runs fine

Yep another really cool saw.
You could use one of these muffler mods.

Snowed in today with winds at 40 mph.

We got up to 65, nice weather. Grandson enjoyed ripping up the cow pastures on his new dirt bike. Did do a little saw repairs for my son inlaw. Felt good working on some today.

Going to check out a 2000 woodsman tomorrow. To use as a little limb saw. What cc is it and what bar did it come with. The one in the picture on the add looks big for a little saw

32cc with 3/8ths lo pro chain. The one I have had a 16" bar. It was the very first saw I bought that needed repair.
The first thing I did to it was new fuel lines and filter and rebuilt the carb. Once I had it running I took the cylinder off and used a file to open the intake and exhaust ports and I eliminated the base gasket. Put it back together and saw ran fine. First time for everything.

 

[s sidewall]

14 or 16" bar is the norm for those.
Please don't do a muff mod, your ears will thank me cause they are loud enough.

Forgot to add, after you are done cutting with it, oil will still be flowing cause it uses a pressurized oil system. Just sit it on the ground and the pressure will bleed off through the vent.

Ok dumb question. I'm getting ready to put a new jug on a plastic poulan pro. Should I get a gasket kit or reuse.

I use gray rtv sealant we use at the dealership when putting the bottom half on and also around the seal/bearing assy.

If the engine is a clamshell and I do not believe it has a gasket between the crankcase and the cylinder. Like Steve mentioned use a sealant but make sure that it is a fuel proof sealer like yamabond. The Poulan 2000 is not a clamshell and so it has a base gasket for the cylinder.

 

[Welderman85]

Thank you how about paper gaskets like the carb gasket can those be reused

 

[neutral4x4]

Todd, that 4000 is really cool! Just out of curiosity, is that a custom intake? I was looking at a 272 cylinder here, but the bolt pattern appears to be different. Also, did you have to add a spacer plate to lift the 272 cylinder up a bit?

All this cylinder swapping has my curiosity.

 

[Todd Loosli]

Yes it has a spacer about 1/2" I'll check the actual size for the squish and I machined the carb adapter from nylon. If you want more information send me a PM
