I hear you and know exactly what you mean and I think you were trying to say K041 mount not a A041. The K041 is useally .325 or full 3/8's. Most A041 mounts were low pro 3/8's and it has a little bit smaller tail.
Let me tell the original poster who asked the question that started all this that the D196 mount can be used on his Poulan with the S spacer, and that is the bar mount that the spacer was designed for. The D196 is virtually the same as the D176 mount with the main difference being a 3/8's slot in it instead of the 5/16" slot on the D176 mount. That is why the spacer is used.
Where do you think its leaking from? I sometimes use silcone on the inner bar plate to seal it from leaking around that rubber seal.
Joe that sounds great if it really happend. You know there are no pictures. :msp_laugh:
What were the other 3?
can someone clean a cylinder up for me? it's for a poulan 4218av but i was goin to try but i got to thinkin i might mess it up to bad to use it again.so can someone help me and let me know how much you would charge to do it.and i got a other question can you port these as well?and not mess with the timing all that much?

Mark,
Just got bearings, seals, thrust washers, and sprocket ordered for this old saw. Ordered from SEPW.com, always have good luck with them.
I think this one will be painted the PP yellow color, always did like that better than the lime green.
This is the saw that I've been gathering a bunch of NOS parts including a new jug, nearly new piston, oiler, antivibe isolators, and a slew of other stuff.

You know me id never BS about saws! The pics are loading as we speak and like I said I dont have the big dayton yet. The other 3 werent bad either. I got a doctor owned 021 that has about 10 minutes on it by the look of it, an homie 360 thats nothing special but it popped with a prime too and a nice white top 61 rancher, no spark on that one tho. The 2 3400s and the S25 were what I made the trip for and it was worth it.
Sounds good Barney. Ill be checkin that site too
Joe, I've always had good service and the prices are usually decent.
Well it all sounds good and its your saw paint it what ever color you like, but I'll take mine lime green! Still cannot wait to see it.
You know I was just busting your chops.
Everything sound good but I would have left the 021 there! I would rather have a Wildthing then that but I suppose someone will pay decent money for that name.
Heres the 3 Poulans I got, 2 3400s and the late model S25DA. Left to right the 3400 to the far left felt like it had good compression and showed 120 on the gauge, I just popped the muffler off and found light scoring on the left side of the piston. The center one is in great shape. A low hour one for sure. Both saws popped with a prime. Both have nice 16" windsor replaceable tip bars too.
The S25 is in great shape too. Its a later mode one with the SS ign, and the squared off top handle. I sent off a bunch of my S25s and I wanted this model/era for a while so it was a good find. I got the b/c with it too.

I knowwww.
Yeah thats why I grabbed the 021. Someone will pay for it and its hardly used. Ill be posting pics of it and the others elsewhere.
Im still waiting on the orange 245a!!

No one is "downing' the baby Stihls but the fact remains they are Wildthings with different colored cases!!!
Why pay Stihl prices for orange and white Wildthings???

I dont want to derail for creamsacles, but I would never pay $239 (price today for an ms211) for a 35cc saw. The only reason I got it was cause he threw it in for almost nothing with the Poulans.
Back to the Poulans!
I got one for you. I pulled the jug off my CVA tonight thinking the top ring was broken on the ex. port side. Butttt I found it had spun in the grove and was not broken! Where are the rings supposed to be? my IPL didnt show and I havent cleaned the crown to looks for marks. Good news is the rings are perfect as are the cyl walls and piston. Might clean up the ex port while its off...
Lousy pic but you can see where the top ring was and thats the exhaust side.

25DA Grip Insert Question...............are they all the same?
Here's a deep, important technical question for you Poulan gurus...:msp_lol:
The red Craftsman 2.1A/Poulan 25DA that Mark sent me is missing the black rubber rear handle insert. The Poulan # I pulled from a 25DA IPL is 23368. The # for the grip insert that I get from the Sears parts website for my saw (358.350940) is 23493 (minus the 5300 Sears prefix). They list it as a manufacturer authorized substitue.............and want too much moolah for it.
Is the part in fact the same for both a 'regular' 25 series saw and the Sears versions? I know there have been a few different versions of the 25 handles, with the Sears units possibly being unique. I've seen 'steeply curved' 25 handles, as well as the straighter CVA handles. The Sears handle seems similar to what I've seen on some late S25DA's and the PP black/yellow versions of these saws. The curve of the handle could affect the profile of the ends of the grip insert, as well as its length and other dimentions. Or...................it could be the same dang part for all of 'em. It's a minor thing really. I can of course run the saw without a grip insert until I get one from a parted saw on feebay or Scott or somewhere...

Good observation Scott, and you pretty much nailed it. There are 2 sizes on the rubber inserts. The curved handle early models had the shorter insert and the newer straight handles had the longer insert as did the cvas.
I believe the Craftsmans use the longer version.
