Nik's Poulan Thread

Emailed a guy on ebay about a 5200 he has but isn't listed, he told if I'm interested he wants $350 + shipping, does this seem like a bit much???

Depends on condition.

I may have one up for sale soon, but its in very good condition and I wouldn't take less then that for mine. Not sure I would go that low.

Make damn sure if you buy one that the P/C are good. Anything else can useally be fixed. Recoils and parts are getting scarce as well.

Been working on a couple projects, got this 306SA tore all apart, doing a resto on it. The P/C and crank are great so I'm not touching that. Its getting new seals, lines, gaskets etc and a new paint and decal job.

Going to be putting the complete power sharp setup on it for old times sake. Anyone got a Power Sharp stone laying around? I thougth I had a good one but I guess I don't.

I also have the early model 5200 about ready for paint.

Looks good Gregg. Would you mind sharing where you got the bar? I'd like to get a nice 14" for my S25.

BTW, anyone have a good fuel cap for a S25DA? Is there not a nipple to put the duckbill valve on? Mine appears to be broken.

Thanks Brad, The bar is one I just ran across on the Bay, probably a year or so ago. Purely by luck. I see Mark answered the duckbill question.

Gregg,

Anything wrong with that? :laughn:

Absolutely not!!! You ought to have Sugar Creek Supply make you some decals for your saws that have Wheatfield, Ind. on them, instead of Shreveport, La.

Gregg,

Speaking of Sugar Creek. Does he ship ASAP or is he slow? Been almost 3 weeks.

 

[redunshee]

That looks good Greg, good old work horses!

I got a 306SA all over the bench right now. Its getting a restore job.

You hooking up the Powersharp? Was it on saw?

I have only ordered one time from him Bob, and as I recall, it did take awhile.
Hang in there. I should order a set for this 306A. Can't decide if I want them or not.

Yes is is a SA meaning that it was a power sharp. I got some brand new .325 pitch barracuda chain to put on a original Poulan roller nosed bar. Thats why I need the stone for the P/S system.

Can anybody ID this craftsman/poulan? I'm thinking a 365?

Looks like a Poulan 2700, 2800, 3000, 3100, or 3300. Just need to identify the bore size as it falls in that category of split crank case saws.

It's just a thing he does on the side. It will take a bit to get them, but they will come. He's a good guy to deal with.

Hey guys, I finally got around to rebuilding my Wild Thing, I ported the cylinder and got a 2375 muffler (mine is the 2375LE) I welded a 1/2" EMT pipe to the side and left the rear openings untouched, this uses a WT662 carb, seems awfully small for 42cc engine. Anyway after a finiky start I got her running well, and damn this thing has a lot of power.

 

[dave76]

Does anyone know if there is a better carburator for this?? Would I be better off getting the older WT324 model carb that came on the 2375??? The WT662 seems to be a finiky carburetor to set.

 

[dave76]

Hey Mark, just thought of somthing, this Wildthing I was working on today has the double barb fitting, and looks very similar to the 3400-4000 series saws, the PN from the 2375 IPL is 530023877.

Yes its definetly a 54cc saw or smaller.

I'm no expert on these, but the main thing is to find the same series of carb that has a bigger venturi. I used on off of a Homelite CS-50 on my 2500 but had to change all the shafts around to make it fit.

Thanks, I got that written down, I'm going to try to order a bunch.

Nice score. I like that line of saws a lot right now I have 2. One is identical to yours and according to sears online its a 2.8. Mine has a chrome bore, though most had chrome pistons. I also have a 3.3. The 2.8 has an 18'' bar and .325 and it pulls it very well.

I just picked up two 3300's. Supposedly can make one good saw out of it. We'll see when it arrives.
