Saw sounds real good. A noodle making machine too.

On my way back from picking up a nice old Homelite XL 12 I stopped by a "second hand junk" shop. It was filled with all manner of guy stuff. The man who owns it asked if there was anything in particular I was looking for. I mentioned that I like old chain saws, he pointed out a nice little Poulan and a slightly beat up Husky. They both have great compression and seemed to be all there. I thought I was almost cured of CAD but I suppose It was just in remission. My Poulan 361 was supposed to arrive by mail today but it was not to be. Oh well perhaps on monday....
Cool grab. I'll take that 41 off your hands if you don't need it. It'll go good with my 51 and 61...:msp_tongue:

Ahem-
Game warden here, you hunting this late after sundown, I'll need to confiscate your "game". Let this be a learning experience. lol
Post up a pic?? I'd say off the bat, mabe a 4218.
I pulled the S25 appart to see the extent of the damage, and the piston looks toasty, the cylinder cleaned up quite well, still some scratches, but only below the exhaust port, above it their not noticable with a pointer. The piston looks so bad it had to be straight gassed??
No pic yet but it is dark red/maroon in color and says PPB1838 in small writing at th top of the sticker with the big Poulan Pro 18" 38cc sticker. The EPA sticker says 2004. I hope this info helps becouse I can't really find anything about a PPB1838.

Cool haul. Metal saws with the paint worn off the handle. Good karma on those.
You'r gonna love the sound that Homie with the stack exhaust makes.

Yes it is sometimes but in this case it can be eaiser on the wallet as well. :msp_biggrin:
That 415 really run strong, no doubt about it.
I had to keep telling Mike to remember we were cutting Maple though. :hmm3grin2orange:
thank you thats what i was wondering.
so who is the best place to order poulan parts from.
I get a lot of stuff from ebay, just put the poulan number in the search. Also check out Baileys chainsaw.
I've gotten stuff at ordertree.
found it on ebay with the part # thanks. who knows how long it woulda took me to finger that out one out.
now lets just hope it aint to hard to install for me

Could be straight gassed. Could also be a an overheat caused by air leak induced lean-out and/or clogged cylinder fins. Lotsa alluminum transfer there. Once the alluminum hits 1200 degrees or so it starts sluffing off the piston. You should see a piston from a turbo diesel that has been overheated. Damn thing melts away from the crown and ring lands. Balls of alluminum in the exhaust...
They're not difficult. Just pop the star washer out with some sort of pick or hook tool. Clean any old residue out of the recess using some carb cleaner or brake cleaner. I usually put some bar oil on the duckbill so that it slides back into the star washer more easily being careful not to slice it on the sharp edge of the washer. Just push it back into the recess of the cap. Mark has recommended using the barrel of an old used up ball point pen like a Bic pen to push the valve & washer back into place with the tip of the duckbill pointing down toward the fuel obviously.
thank you
Worked on my 3400 today, did a carb kit, new oregon tygon fuel line, fuel filter, new air filter, and put my 3700 air filter cover on, went over the old 16" safety chain with file, I haven't recieved my Oregon 16" Power Match bar and LGX chain yet from Baileys. Anyway she started right up, adjusted the carb and cut away, was cutting some old cherry wood up that I'll use for smoking on the grill so the wood was hard as hell, I must say this saw has some power and cuts soooo smooth even with the crappy safety chain. I modded the muffler like a 4000 with the side slit and drilled the diffuser out as big as I could go. Sounds really nice too.
Well here it is.....
