nope all mine are non replaceable bar tips but in the future sometime I'll get me some of them though
Sounds great Mark! It's been a while since I've heard old faithful buried in a log. I've cut ALOT of wood with that saw and now plan on cutting ALOT more!
BIG THANKS to Mark guys, he is the POULAN KING around here in my book with his knowledge and kindness to help people out!
I agree John! Mark is THE Poulan King!
The old Thirty-O-Six sounds great! I still havn't been able to get to the woods yet here and try mine out on some wood.
Just been a sea of water and mud here, mixed with days of snow in between.Most of them that I worked on several weeks ago seem to run good. Have one 306 that is giving me a hard time though. Runs extremely rich, but will idle. Hard to get it up speed without dieing out. Guess I'll have to pull the carb again and see if I can find something amiss. I have not blocked off any of the governors on them yet. But might try that also.
Gregg,

Gregg,
Well from the sounds of it, it is time to block off a governor. Easy to do, just make damn sure you get a screwdriver to fit the governor just right.
If needs to be flat on the end like a gunsmith's screw driver. I ground and filed one down myself to make it fit and it works good.

Gregg,
Block off the gov and I would bet it will be fixed.

How many pieces are in a 306A anyway?
:msp_w00t: Haha, I just got through tearing into mine yesterday. There's a whole passel of parts to a 306A is all I got to say. How did your jug turn out Mark? I been searching hi and lo for a top end for mine. I need a bucking spike like that one :msp_drool:
Thanks for the correct screw driver, tip Mark. They must be very soft brass screws. Never tried to neuter one. Yet!

I guess "Reply to Thread" is the only way to post within the Poulan thread, ... I'm having just a great time with a little P3314 that I've used and abused cutting our heating wood 1 1/2 seasons now, about two hours a week. What comes into my mind as I've buzzing away is the old ad, "Y're in luck when ya gotta McCullough chain saw, more power by the hour in y'r hand .... " Looking back over the thread I doubt that many are too young to remember that one. I'm guessing early 50's, maybe late 40's. All I've had to do is sharpen the chain a few times, and changed the spark plug recently (unnecessarily I guess as the other one looked OK and ran adequately). The "Poulan Pro PP4218AVX" I bought several years ago went south on me in half the time I have on my little 14", and is still apart; I bought a piston kit and cylinder for it so it's "waiting labor" as we used to say. It'll wait some more if the little 14" keeps working that well. Sorry for the hijack but this is the only sub-forum that might understand or give a hoot about my Poulans, ... cheers
PS , ... I need to amend my sig as I gave my first P3314 to my son, still running well

:msp_thumbsup: I completely agree. That saw sounds great and Mark has been a great help to me as well.
Maybe Darin can change his username to "King Chainsaw"
Welcome, I really don't know beans about the newer crop of Poulans, specifically, but they all operate much the same way. The problem you run into with these newer ones, is any major repair will most likely cost as much, if not more than a new one. Unless you do the work yourself.
If it was me, I would be looking for a used one cheap, to replace it, or get parts from. Guess thats why they call the newer saws, throw away saws! unfortunately. You start looking on Ebay or Craigslist, thats about all you find are 3314's & 4218's it seems.
Gregg,
Yep, The Poulan Thread, is already a thread, LOL we just keep adding to it! with new replies!:hmm3grin2orange:

I remember that ad quite well, I'm a little older than these youngins.
My dad bought Big Mac about the same time that ad came out.WillBrayJr

More like "Saturday Night Special" Chainsaws. They're the kind that you fire up once to make sure it functions properly then toss in the Garage or Shed so you'll have it for that minor little job. Afterwards you throw it away and buy a new one for next time.
It's a damn shame that once great American companies are now pathetic trash.

Long story short....A fellow member alerted me of some NOS Poulan Pro saws several months ago. Up until today I had not had time to run down and take my pic. It was a LONG drive down that is for certain!
This girl followed me home. 28" guide. Never in wood.
Sorry guys.....I'm going to post more pics.....I have to.

Mitch you done better then good there! Thats awsome.
I noticed that dang green coil, I don't know what the deal was with them. I mean they listed the saws to run 13,500 then put a 10K coil on them?
Thats ok though we now know how to easily fix that.
Just curious, does it look like the 505 handle will fit the 475? Looks like it might be different in the air filter compartment, but hard for me to see in the picture.

Not sure on the handle, will have to check that out tomorrow.
Was surprised by the air injection, didn't think this model had it. Going to dump the coil and cut a loop of ch tomorrow.
Also picked up several NOS bars. Two can be seen on the bench. He has upwards of 40 bars hanging. Glad I only brought cash and not the debit LOL
