Just don't let me guilty of holding up your saw progress. I couldn't be havin' the whole Poulan clan comin' down on me now, lol:)

No, not that at all, those little S25's are about as easy to tear apart as they come. Only about 20 minutes out of the day. :rock:

I still say there one of the best designed top handles ever made, and to think that they came out in approx 1970. Speaks highly of how far Poulan was ahead of the rest at that time.

View attachment 171259, and he was local, less than 10 miles.

In the truck, through a snow squall before any one else had a chance to snag it. (probably pretty safe from most of you guys)

Started on the 5th pull.

No brainer, grabbed it. Don't really need it but I think I caught the fever!! Damn you guys and all the pretty pictures
Now it is sitting in my kitchen til morning, when I can see what I got for a real good price.
I'm giddy with excitement!!

You are correct with metering lever height in most Walbro carbs. I know HDB's are set level with carb body. Does saw sound rich out of the cut or while cutting. If its rich out of the cut but clears up while you're cutting , you're in good shape.

While I had the camera out, I took a picture of my wall of fame in the shop.

These are some of my special to me saws. I also got some picutures of the "Poulan wing" in the back of the shop but it took me about 8 photos to get them all in. :laugh: I need a extra, extra wide angle lens.

Nice job. Let us know how it turns out.
 
Hey guys, rumor has it that Steve might have just picked up another saw.

A really cool old one and I wonder why he isnt here to tell us about it?

Maybe the little birdie was fibbing?

Naw I think he's holding out on us.....

What do you guys think we should do?

Flood his inbox?
