Nik's Poulan Thread

[Modifiedmark]

Wow that is more than I expected. I don't know why you seem to have such an attitude towards me but I will tell you that I don't like it much. I don't know Mitch or many of the guys here but I did notice that he never answered your question.

O.K. I wanted to know how he got that high of a compression reading also. Other than the method I mentioned the only other way I know of would be to add to the piston crown or add material to the combustion chamber. If you have another explanation I would sure be happy to hear of it.

As far as me calling you out, that is not going to happen. It is your attidude that puts you in that frame of mind.

Now tell me about the 200 pound compression ratio on the clam shell saw without having the deck lowered and the mains rebored. It would be nice if you shared that with us.

You want me to tell you? Do you think I owe that to you? No I don't.

The reason you didn't see a reply from Mitch in this thread is he got ahold of me privatly, so in fact he did reply to my question.

Now if he wants to tell you, that's his business.

I don't like your attitude ordering me to explain that to you.

You call that asking, more like demanding to me.

Maybe I got off a little hard, didn't mean to.

I'm still waiting for you to explain why your 4200 puts out 30-40lbs more compression then all the other stock ones that I have experianced.

What you got is above average and you seem to expect all of them to have 180 or they aint no good from your prior postings.

306A pics

Here's some pics of my 306A gimme saw. Had a guy at church give this to me, says have fun with it. It's gonna need a piston and rings to get it back to life. Looks like it was sucking dirt from somewhere. Air filter looks decent. Cylinder doesn't look real bad from what I can see. Won't know till I get the jug off.
I know y'all like pitchers...

Yes, that's a nice saw! Like we said, it was free so you can afford to spend a little on it.

Might as well get it tore down and see for sure what you got. I'm with you that it looks like it got some dirt ingested. The cyl may or maynot be ok.

Check that flocked air filter well to make sure it don't have any bare spots on it and check that the boot on the throttle shaft isnt torn as it will let dirt right in the carb if it is.

Nice looking saw kmcinsms.

Now, over the drama and on to our regular showing of POULANS! Taking the 5200 out to the TN GTG and hopefully it will perform! Also threw the 306A bowsaw in the truck as well. Most likely going to be outta room for the rest though.

Yeah I hope thats over, I wasn't in the best of moods last night.

If you did your part on the 5200, it will perform. There quite strong for there displacement.

Chooseing which saws for a GTG is tough sometimes. I useally try to choose which ones most the other people at the GTG have not seen or had a chance to run.

Even ask for suggestions from the others. I can run any of mine whenever I want to, so its more fun to me to take what the others want to try.

 

[little possum]

Yep, it can be hard, especially with 60 runners,and then trying to pack 2 mans in there too. And SP has been using a goofy file and the 5200 really seems to be slinging chips.

But i figured those 2 would represent the Poulan family pretty good. Until I find a 7700 and a 8500 haha.
But the 71 A is no slouch.

The 71-A is loud and fun if nothing else!

I got a rim and drum sprocket on the way for mine and I plan on taking the original 30" Poulan bar off of it to save it.

I got a 21" roller nose to try on it and am debating weather to change over to 3/8's on it or leave .404 on it.

I think the bar is .063 so I would have to get a chain for it no matter what so I'm leaning on keeping it .404.

Very nice 306!! Looks great! Most I have seen look like they been drug behind a pickup for 30 years. Hardly any paint loss, the screw heads are still green!
Hope she turns out to be as good on the inside.

Here here, I'll second that! From our Poulan GTG, thats the one that still stands out to me. That, and Steve's 7700!


Gregg,
