ModifiedMark i have a quick question.

Did you weld up the whole outside of the muffler after your mod?

I'm not sure if I know what you mean. If you mean did I weld up the rear outlet holes, then yes I did.

Hey UPS arrived today and my S25DA was in the box, talk about fast shipping, I won the saw on sunday night at 11:30. Anyway it's as described, as mint as you can get for an unused 35YO saw. Checked the fuel line and it was petrified, it broke into pieces just by touching it, checked the fuel tank out and the line was broke right at the pass through hole. If the dumb camera wasn't always dead i'd have a few pics up, well mabe later.

Glad it arrived safely!

Lines are expected and not that hard. The line size should be 1/8"x3/16".

I got a bunch of those to reline since the ethonal destroyed em and I just got my new lines the other day.

I was thinking of starting a couple new threads with step by step instructions and pictures for the S25's, Micro's and 3400's as it's a constant queston around here on how to do them.

What do you guys think of that idea?

Hey buddy, friend ,pal, gramps, grumpy, old fart q-tip it's your most famous follower here. Once again you have got my butt out of a mess. I got a pretty nice looking $10 old school 306 manuel running today. The chain is shot to :censored: and of all the chains hanging out here not a one to fit it. So it's going to get a brand new Stihl half on it in the am.

You are the man the all knowing Steve. I don't care what LP or nobody else says about you I think you is the s:censored:.

That's the good news. That funny looking saw you brought down is going to make me crazier than I already am. But oh well life as we know it in Possumville. HA HA HA !

You got a 306 thumb pumper? Those were not very common.

Gregg,

I guess a lot of this stuff gets repetitive to say the least. But, I guess thats to be expected, with new guys popping up all the time. Heck, I was a :newbie:
once too.LOL

But you are right! having a link to point to on the subject, with pictures, would be a handy thing. A lot of this stuff is sometimes hard to put into words alone.

Gregg,

Thats exactly what I was talking about, the new guys. And yes its hard to explain.

BTW Greg, where can I find one of these?

I call dibbs on the first one found.

My 4000

I forgot to post some pics of my 4000 after about 6 hrs of through cleaning. Had to dissassemble damn near the entire saw to get her clean as the PO probably never even took a rag, anyway I believe the saw lost some weight in the process. lol Forgot to ask anyone got new decals???

Uhhh, Thats a good question. Looks to me that must be a very rare one. Only made one year. Probably the same place you find a 744. LOL

I suspect you would have to look pretty far south for either of them.

Dave, That 4000 looks great!! I just got another 4000 put back together tonight also. Has the same color scheme as yours. The black rear handle. But has different decals. The ones on this one are the green & black decals that say 4000 Professional on them.

I have dabbled with making decals for some of mine, and need to do some more. When i come up with some new ones, I'll show ya and send ya a set.

Gregg,

You got a 306 thumb pumper? Those were not very common.

All i know is what my hero Steve told me about the other one I got he wants and now he wants this one and I'm so confused. I finally learn what to look for and start snagging a few and he wants um all. What's up with that.

Naw it's all junk. Steve taught me what I know about the Poulans I had a real wrong idea about um. Never saw the ones he told me to look for around here much. But once I knew what to look for they are around and I CAN SEE UM.

See even and old fart Sthilhead can learn new things.
