The 375 is 60cc. Same saw as the 3700, except for the color
and with features normally seen on the 4000. Like the heavy duty starter pawls, side outlet on the muffler, air cleaner setup etc. Oh, and obviously a different brand of carb.

Gregg,
Nice 375, I was kinda thinking about that one myself. Check your email, I sent you something that might help you with that carb kit.

i thought that after i posted. but i figured one of ya all would say for sure! so how much newer a saw is that in those colors?what i mean is that odds are not a gureentee but if you find one of these its got more years left in it?what was the last year they were made? if thats true thats cool!!!! gives me more options on ebay im going to try to get one after feb and see what all the hype is about !!!im hoping it runs like the poulan 25da saws for its size and weight!

Well, Here is my latest project. A Poulan Pro 375. Really in pretty nice shape. Was pretty gunked up. Took every thing apart, cleaned it up. Put new fuel lines, filter, plug etc. The thing that is causing me some grief is the carb.
This one has a Zama C3A , instead of a Walbro HDB that I'm used to. Needless to say, I didn't have a kit, so I took it apart and tried to clean it, was full of crap, and put it back together. The saw would not start. Put a little in the carb, and it fired right off. So I need to get a kit for it. But, I can't seem to find the right one.
The C3A, is the only number I can find on it. There are about a dozen different Zama C3A carbs. I see midsize Stihl's use a Zama. Any of you Poulan experts know what kit I need to getting? I thought maybe I would just pull a Walbro off of another saw and try that, if I can't get a kit for this one.
Gregg,
welcome to my world thats what my 3800 poulan has got and i just found 2 rebuild kits and thats it they are hard to find so that why i was looking for a walbro HDB carb for mine
I've got this little micro S25CVA all cleaned up and running good. The entire saw was in excellent condition. Other than cleaning, I replaced the fuel line, oiler line, and ordered a new air filter.
How does this oiler work? Does it pressurize the oil tank somehow? I see no mechanical pump.

It is pressurized from the crankcase I do believe.
It runs real good for such a small saw. The P&C looked real nice. I decarboned the crown while it was apart. I also put it together without a base gasket, and still had a good sized squish. I'll get some pics and video of it up tomorrow. No porting on this one. I'll do that to a S25CVA.

Brad, that all metal saw points to the early manufacture like I suspected.
The oiler does indeed work by crankcase pressue like John mentioned. There is a check valve mounted in the case behind the sprocket that controls the pressure to the tank. There is also a valve in the so called pump in the tank.
They work really well for such a simple setup and you have to remember that Poulan was setting new records for a low price saw with this series so the simpler oiler was critical to keeping the cost down on them.
The only real drawbacks are that the oil supply must be kept clean as they plug easily and they tend to seep oil off after being shut down. Removing the cap to release the tank pressure seems to help the saw from leaking as bad.
Guys do have some trouble now days with those oilers but there over 30 years old and most the trouble is from deteriorted check valves.
Thanks Mark. I found something similar to that this afternoon on the web. I still cant make heads nor tails lookin at either of them. LOL
I'm gonna pull it back off tomorrow, and look it over again. That was the only numbers I saw on it today, playin with it. See what I can come up with, good or bad..
Gregg,
LOL, What part number did you come up with for the kits you got? Were they correct?
Thanks,
Gregg,
Couldn't tell you exact dates they were made. But, was in the mid 90's. The 375 & 395 were the last of the old style Poulans like that. They were 3700 & 4000's in Poulan Pro colors. Just seen a 4000 on ebay this afternoon

Gregg,
I recall rebuilding a Zama C3A and used kit RB31.

I'll try to get a video of it tomorrow. Other than the filter I already ordered, the only thing this saw needs is a 6-pin 3/8 lopro clutch drum/spur gear.

Not bad for running rich. As you found, they are a little difficult to adjust as you have to remove cover to adjust and carb is open to air. Not sure if its best to lean it a little then reassembled it will run as it should. What did you determine?
