Last check overs before buttoning up.
Glad I did. While going through things had some kind of nylon plastic crap all wrapped at oil pump area. Glad noticed that as it will bind pump and take out gear when gets in bind.

Poulan 2175 36cc. 1999 type 2.

Stihl 63PS on it for test cutting later.

Lines and carb kit too.

Loaner saw, root cutter, or sell to local for trimming someday.

Still the wild thing bar and crap chain but set that chain aside.

I gave a bunch of those cases away to a echo guy north of me. He brought me 3 older poulans I traded and sold him 3 older echo's.

I end up with a pile of the dang things here over time.


This one I let go with saw for 10 bucks to keep the early matching set. Sold saw for 10 too if I recall right.

I collect scabbards, oem stickers decals and signs. Just a couple poulan ones in pics for this thread. Whole shop is full. Ran out of big sign spaces with so many.

But everything has a spot for someone in the world.

Got a question for ya since working on that one. I dont do the pioneer poulan series so have no clue on what swaps around. I sold a BP 655 set earlier.

Would that top from 655 go onto a 405 455 etc or is the wrist pin size etc different?

I think same for 655 and 455 , but not for 405 , I believe.
 
Pieced together from a thread. Other day I comparing poulan partner clutch covers for Al. I noticed the lines were harden tygon still and impulse was only thing echo.


I’ll have to look back and see how long it has been since I last done dads old saw. Bought new in 1994 poulan 3300. Fuel lines, tank vent line and impulse lines.
So long ago I wasn’t using echo oem line for fuel and tank vents then. 3x5. 2014
But had on impulse. 3X6

Redid all lines with echo oem black lines in 3x5 and impulse 3x6.

I’ve never seen the plastic green discoloring like that before on recoil. Bob = That was about the time we had to start using cadmium free plastics. It didn’t hold the color well at all. After a couple years they got the technology under control.

Still has my plug I loved back in the day. German made Bosch

Dad was dead on date he said bought in 94.
Saw build date Jan 22 1994

2014 = 10 years ago when I put intake boot and av's, lines and buffer etc in it last time. Now with these echo lines should last forever imo. Wish I could recall if did a carb kit. I know dad cant get efree back then or now.

Got the gray craftsman 2.3 back out for the final tune. It was drowning after the carb was cleaned but 1/4 turn in on the hi and she woke right up! Only thing left is removing the clutch cover and give all that and the bar a good cleaning. Should be ready for action after that.
 
Not I but it does remind me of a question I've been wanting to ask this group. I have a couple of the 3.3 ( with the toggle on top) and a couple of the 3.7.
I find myself gravitating to the 3.3 as I don't notice much power difference, but the 3.3 seems so much nicer to operate.
Anyone else feel the same or am I the odd man out...... as usual??
