Nik's Poulan Thread

[Modifiedmark]

You guys just carry on then. I really miss a lot of the knowledgeable guys that used to post in this thread.

Here is something for the impaired folks who cannot find the trading post here. A good deal from a young man I know. He aint one of the messed up millennial's like we mostly see around here now days.

Maybe I should just have him post it here?

 

[Todd Loosli]

Mark thanks for the heads up on the 4000 . I think it is good to do it this way. A note or a link to the item.
I have used your knowledge before and hope I can in the future.

If anyone wants to sale something on here, I'm not going to say anything, just so you know.

It was Tim (fossil) who put me onto the 7700/4900 rings I had to cut at a rough guess 1.5mm mm off the end

I had no trouble getting them in the bore on the piston just popping in 1 side in and then use a wooden pick to pop in the other side and done. It's done many many many tanks of fuel since like quite a good few hours. Until the clutch got crook it came on every wood trip and still going good as gold. Todd gave me the ring gap specs from an oem set he measured.

Now you could in theory tighten up that gap for more go go but it will be mean on the pulley so I never did.

My favorite wooden pick is to sneak a couple kebab skewers from the kitchen there quite strong can be sharpened up again and again.

guessing i just got impatient plus old fingers plus being screamed at from the back door plus tying to install without gasket ad infinitum. bottom line, not enough hands and i got tired of fooling with it. will keep it in mind for another, future ocassion.

 

[Todd Loosli]

I fully understand that

I have never objected to someone doing just this, its not the same as what I was speaking of. As for the knowledge, there used to be a lot of very knowledgeable people here but have been driven away from here from the BS. I'm losing interest real fast again.

You should object, it will get stupid again

JM in AK might be the guy I sent my last 3 rings I had got in with pulleys last year.

This isn't the buy and sell thread, there are classifieds in the main forums here for that. There is also a beg for manuals thread here you could have used for that manual also. Just sayin.

I have been to other forums, including beg for manuals, with no response. That is why I asked here, as a last resort. I have spent my life fixing things, sometimes for people I don't like, but because it was broken and I wanted to see it working. I don't know why you got off about me, I just asked a question. I didn't attack you and even thanked you for the PDF.

You were given the link to the beg for manuals thread, but you never posted in it to ask for a manual. If they would not have had it, Ray would have probably sent me a message to see if I had it.

You do know that anyone can go to your profile and look up the post's you made? So your response here is false.
Your post sounded a bit demanding to me but I posted the manual anyway didn't I ?
You then replied that you intended to come back here if and when you found you needed parts you would come back here to ask for parts.

I take that as rude.

 

[Ilovechainsaws]

I'm with Todd. I dont have the older stuff. But have some of the 80's 90's up to 2000 stuff.

I'm here if you need anything. Least ask i may have extra parts.

I dont collect so not married to it most times.

Thanks to all for the kind remarks. I understand I'm classified as a newbie on this site, because I don't have many posts. I am on numerous and varied forums, and don't respond unless I can ADD to the conversation. I dont type fast so I don,t enter idle chatter to forums on a daily basis, so for me to get thuousands of posts it would take me decades.
If someone has a question, I have years of experience as a mechanic in motorcycles, snowmobiles and my dabbling in my ten plus chainsaws.
thanks again,
Ilovechainsaws

And I thanked you for the PDF, didn't I? The comment about the parts is from my respect for the general population of this forum as being knowledgeable and friendly if I need some help. I have not been disrespectful to you, even though you have tried to insult me on several occaisions.

@Ilovechainsaws dont worry about him.

I see where you ask back in Feb in beg for manual thread before coming here.

I'm staying neutral on this. I like all you guys and hate to hear the spat. I know times are tough right now but it will get better. I was asked today if I wanted to take leave from work for awhile and I turned them down. I'm felt needed and people will need their cars going. Too many rookies in the shop, me and another tech is scared to turn them loose. If we weren't here, they would be calling us up to try to solve a problem over the phone. I don't want to be cooped up in the house, I'd go nuts.

I don't want this either, is there any written rules that would make this easier to figure out. Can a person post a 4sale in here or not. Or is it just been that way from the beginning.

I'm glad I no longer have a essential job anymore. I used to have to go in the worst dang snow storms etc.

Now my son said they got some new lab equipment at his hospital where he must report to work. He was suppose to go to NY for training on it for QC purposes. So glad he didnt have to go up there right now. They canceled it.
So far only 1 staff in his hospital has to be tested to check on.

Crazy times.

 

[Todd Loosli]

It's a great day for rule 3 . I'm going to enjoy this day. it's cold and windy out but my dirty shop is getting cleaner by the day.

You don't think anyone else has a issue with it? I don't speak for everyone else, ever, why are you? I never said anything out of line and I'm not the hall monitor either. At one point it was bad here with guys coming here begging for stuff, others trying to promote the own feeble forums etc. I'm in this thread for Poulan saws like our buddy Nik was when he started this thread. Your welcome to ignore me if you like.

Your mentioning Nik reminded me that I still have his Poulan 4000 with the blued bar on it. Pretty.
