Nik's Poulan Thread

[hotshot]

Comes out of the tank in that hole right above the coil.

Pull the flywheel off first, as it routes below it at the bottom. This YT vid may help you see the routing better…and you can also ask if there’s a service manual for the 20/20D series in the “Beg For Manuals” sticky thread.

Got two more tanks of fuel through the gray poulan aka craftsman. It really holds its own. about got that load from the knuckle boom truck bucked up.

Didnt run them back to back. 85cc about like 385 though from cutting with them in past. 8500 might have torque over 385. 385 lighter by a bit.

I wouldnt even compare it to a 395 IMHO. 395 are 94cc. Beast in oak buried 36" cuts.

Only reason for this comparison was because they weigh close to the same.

Another older one I compared to in weights.

Thanks. I have a 395 and yes a beast alright.

Anyone have a reed for a 306a??
Also if there are any pioneer guys reading , a partial carcass made it's way to my shop and I will likely never mess with it as it is missing too much. Has a coil, clutch , air box cover etc. Thought I'd see if anyone needed anything before I part it out. Not sure what model but can try to I D it if there is interest.

Post a pic in the Pioneer sticky, you'll get more nibbles there.

Anyone know a source for the crankcase gasket for the large countervibes?

Also found some poulan 720 labeled oregon older 72 LP chain. One was 97dl. Maybe 30" bar?

Where I get lost is from the home screen, there seems to be nothing to click on anywhere that says stickies. Am I missing something? I apologize for my lack of tech savvy!

Well I don't know where you found that link but sure enough it went to something called stickies!! I saw all kinds of things I've never seen. Didn't know about credits or purchasing anything or moderators. I'll figure this all out eventually.
Thanks for helping an old dog learn new tricks.

Look for the black with blue decal. They are basically 335 predator saws in red poulan.

I have 1 runner left of close to 10 at one time and a parts saw of one. Make great saws for folks.

Can't help with that, but here is a .pdf file of the gaskets for a 5200. There were made to be printed out, so you can make your own. Just have it set on 100% scale. so they are exact size. Thats if I can get this to load.


Gregg,

I remember a man at work here giving me one but I assumed it was like the similar looking gray craftsman saws I've seen. Not so impressed with them. Hoping my memory is accurate!
