I had the opportunity to run some of the larger Poulans yesterday. Now I'm having CAD attacks.

they're addictive for sure
Way to man up there buddy! Makes sense now that you mention it.
I might as well tell you I forgot to put the whole reed assembly in the 306SA when I put it back together. I found it real quickly when I went to put the carb on and found it laying next to it.
At least I caught it!
Ugh I would never do that. :hmm3grin2orange: Well I might as well admit I put that tank that you sent me on the 5200 the other day and put it all back together before I realised I forgot the line from the tank to the carb. :bang:

Yoda? Is that you? We know you are as wise Mark! :hmm3grin2orange:
You think I talk funny?
You ought to have heard Randy and the rest of those boys from KY and TN yesterday. :hmm3grin2orange:

Good job!
Cool, a red 361, that makes it OK to paint mine red. Lime green (or any green) is not my favorite color.:hmm3grin2orange:
Just got this.
What should I do with it? Feels like another rebuild is on the way. :msp_biggrin: Thanks Chris!

Yeah Mark that 5200 did get to me. The factory muffler outlet was a thing of beauty. Where in the heck did those engineers get off to??? They sure ain't workin for Stihl. 
Carl, its your saw you can paint it however you want to! That Dayton is more orange then green though.
Lime green don't interest me much either but I have come to admire it on a Poulan saw! It's a thing of beauty it is!
I could pitch for the Cubs, or play center for the Lakers also. :msp_biggrin:

How about that sound coming from that muffler!

Nice score Mark! Did Dayton/WA or Sears ever sell their version of Poulan 4000's? I guess I could 'settle' for a lime green 4000!:jester:
No, as far as I can tell there were no relabled 4000's.
You will just have to accept the lime green if you want one. (and you know you do!)

Yes.....yes I do.
Unless I score a real cherry 4000, I'll most likely end up painting it up like the later green/black saws. If it's cherry (not likely, but you never know) then I'll leave it as-is.
Just got this.

Hey! That model saw looks vaguely familiar to me.
How are the innards on that one? I might be able to supply you with a good P/C if your in need of it. I been saving a piston and cylinder in case I ever needed one. But since I have 4 of these saws, the NEED is fading. LOLThe 4000 has always been my favorite all around use saw.
That being said. I FINALLY have a 4200 coming, and a red Craftsman 306. Why I bought that, I don't know, just different i guess.
If the 4200 impresses me half as much as the 5200, I'll be tickled!
Gregg,

Gregg,
Gregg, thanks but I think the P/C are fine, no marks to speak of, more of a stain on the piston is all. Lots of white corrosion coming from the crank and its froze solid. I have a crank to use, so it will probably just need cleaned up and new crank brgs, thrust washers and a set of rings.
Might be a while till I get to this one though.
You will like the 4200, trust me on that. I have always liked the red 306's so no need to explain that.

I have no doubt, I will like the 4200. The only 4200 I ever ran was one owned by that guy with all the "green junks" from Ky. :hmm3grin2orange: They were always impressive!
Gregg,
