What’s the going rate for a running/useable Poulan 5200 these days? Not much of a Poulan guy but I have a thing for full wrap handlebar and 80cc+ saws. There’s one here local for $90
Worth it?

200 be a mint deal still. 1 of the greatest ever just like that 850 of yours. Ride a bicycle if you have to I would lol

 

[Todd Loosli]

I'll give you 200 for it and pay the shipping

 

[Goinwheelin]

Working a deal to get it delivered. After that I’ll figure if I want to keep it or sell it. Todd you have first dibs if I do decide to let it go.

 

[Todd Loosli]

Thanks you can PM me

 

[Screwbolts]

Tobb beat me to it, I will take second's on the 5200. Same deal.

 

[Screwbolts]

Todd, you already have 2, you should let me move into first on the offer 4 the 5200. Lol

Dug into the 3400 that the auto oil didn't work on. I should have taken a photo when I removed the plate. Not a sign of any foam , but level full of oily sawdust. There was even sawdust in with the plunger. The diaphragm looked good. The plunger was stuck from setting so long , or from debris in dirty used engine oil. (Any used engine oil I add to my diesel fuel I run threw my centrifuge that I clean used cooking oil with. And I use all my used oil for fuel, most none rail Cummins allow 10% used oil in the fuel.)

When I removed the plate screws I broke them free of the green paint. It had never been apart before.

How does the foam look ? I have a thin piece under the manual wire on the top piece you see. There are pieces over both the vent holes of the plunger chamber. I thinks this is what I have read that you guys do to keep sawdust at bay.

 

[Goinwheelin]

Looks to be a desirable saw... gotta get my hands on it though. When I do there will be pics etc.
If I keep it, I’ll go thru it like I do my Macs and share a bit here.

Doing good, some of them are not very clean, I had a 4000 that I found a beaver living in there had to destroy his home and felt bad for about a minute. True story

 

[Screwbolts]

Just ran the 3400 that I cleaned the oil pump on. It now auto oils like a champ! Lots

These are really very simple easy to work on saws.

[Todd Loosli]

Isn't that a beaver house

 

[Screwbolts]

Yes , with air vents to boot. And oily water resistant sticks. lol

 

[Todd Loosli]

One thing about it the paint was protected

 

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

Ya nearly had me lol don't have beavers here (well other beavers) so I kinda forgot how big they are
My 3400 is a little stingy on the oil too so might need to take a look at it
