Nik's Poulan Thread

[Duke Thieroff]

Thank you Duke for clarity.

I am actually in the woods now running a red 3700 thin ring and grey 3800, thick ring.

9F here now.

Hopefully we can get a 4000 cylinder to ya before it's all said and done

73f last Wednesday caught 10 after lunch . I like fishing in the cold but I’m going to miss these 70 degree days . View attachment 790389

Thanks you for giving me hope for warmer weather to come. Keep up the pics.

Dad has the bass boat I keep a fishing toon on the lake.

Mainly crappie fishing but hit the bass, gill, musky too. Crazy when hit the crappie and reel one in every cast. Catch like 50-60 at a time for fun. Only keep bigger if hungry for some fish.

It sure is Jethro! My wife and I have 19 acres of woods here that our home is on. There is a small swamp in the middle of the back half, Above the swamp is vary steep side hill, working on it isn't for the faint of heart. It has been 10 or more years since the ground, snow and temperature have been right to allow me to be able to harvest trees on the upper side without skidding threw mud. I am bring out Beech today that desperately needs harvesting before it gets any worse. Right after we got the snow again I drove threw my log roads to pack it down and let the cold freeze them up for better skidding. Where I cross the narrow end of the swamp has even froze up now so that neither tractor or stick behind it breaks threw.

The sticks in the pile are on 2 hemlock runners 20' long. I believe there is 2 years of firewood in the pile now, but conditions are right to skid and I can get to the steepest parts so the pile will keep growing.

The creek that comes out of our swamp is on the maps as Susquehanna creek, that feeds into Shadow Brook that dumps into Otsego Lake. Otsego lake is considered the mouth of the Susquehanna River , but I see my little swamp as the true mouth.

Man you are living the dream mate well and truly. I enjoyed reading that. Nice old John too

Ran the 4000 again today and put a tank of fuel thru it. I pulled the muffler cover and it looks like it was brand new. Was happy with the little red barn piston. I'm using truefuel in the green can. I let Chris in on the progress and he was excited also. On the dino I was pumping 100 psi at 8000 rpm and that is good. It is getting stronger as more time goes on

Yep, definitely excited to hear more about the results.

Also glad to hear that everything is holding up well. Those LRB pistons are OK, but I have a feeling "The Duke's" one we're having produced will be a little more refined.

@Todd Loosli , I'm dying for a video

 

[Todd Loosli]

Don't die yet, I'm making the changes to the dino and will get a video when finished, stay turned.

 

[EngineNoO9]

Did you install with normal gaskets and stock muffler? I know a lot of us are running base gasket delete and small muffler mods.

I'm not a fan of LRB pistons, especially the 3400.

@Todd Loosli

Did you get a chance to have a look at the sample piston?

 

[Todd Loosli]

 

[Todd Loosli]

I suck at video but that's a short run

 

[Todd Loosli]

Used gasket kit that came with it and it has my 4000 muffler mod. I changed the cover and put a 4000 on for the better air filter. It is a runner

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

You have changed the dyno abit. Sounds good

 

[Todd Loosli]

Yes I slowed the pump down and added a tachometer and a few others. On the video the saw is 8000 rpm and 100 psi, it will pump 150 psi and stay at 8000. Strong saw

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

Cool I love it you going to throw some chips with it?

 

[Todd Loosli]

I can do that and will very soon like tomorrow. I need to get the chain guards made and install them.

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

Nice yeah that chain would certainly be hungry for a couple fingers
