Nik's Poulan Thread

[blsnelling]

Is there a seperate thread for the Poulan GTG?

Anyone?

 

[redunshee]

Anyone?

Brad I don't believe there is.

IPL shows a PP330 as having one ring. Bet that's what you have.
Bob

I bet you are right. I am not having any luck trying to find the part by the number on the cylinder base.

Brad I don't believe there is.
Bob

OK, thanks. It's a definate for me. My wife's from Findlay, so we'll be heading up Friday evening.

That piston looks just like my PP330 Impulse line on the jug, same as my PP330 too. I'd bet you got a 330 jug and slug there. You made out good on that deal as the 330 is a plated bore. The timing numbers are a bit lower than the 3300 though.

How do you think I should deal with that Randy?

It looks like it's going well. Shouldn't need a base gasket, but I would make sure by checking squish. Just widen the ports a bit and run it as if you stole it!!!

The air filter and filter box is real restrictive on those saws but I figure it will still make you grin. :hmm3grin2orange:

This cylinder

View attachment 181675
is off a Craftsman 358.355061 and the bore is 1.525" or thereabouts. What displacement would it be? 2.1" or 2.3"??

I think it will clean up as all the streeks are actually piston material welded on to the cylinder surface.

Nevermind, I found the answer in the Sears online owner's manual. 2.3 cu. in..

 

[rms61moparman]

Mike what is your opinion of the value. Am I in the ballpark?
I have only had cad for about a year:msp_mellow::msp_mellow::msp_mellow: so I don't know these things.

Personally I'd say $80.00 is on the high side.
It is pretty well used.
If it runs out like new, and you don't have saws sitting around everywhere, maybe.
I'd probably top out about $60.00 on that one.

Poulan Pro 415

Gents,

I'm new here but have been lurking for a few months while rebuilding my old husky 61. I just picked up 2 PP 415s for 40 bucks. They both have 160 lbs of compression and run but I'm missing a few parts. In order to put 1 into the wood, I need everything clutch out. I need a sprocket, clutch cover, I am assuming there is a plate behind the bar like the Husky? I need a bar or need to know what bars oil right. The other saw is missing all the same parts plus clutch, recoil and chain brake. If anyone is interested in trading parts, I'd just like to get one running. Also, I know it's similar to the 2077 but which parts? I'd like to stay green with my clutch cover but not crucial.

Thanks

Might want to put this on the "Swap Meet Thread" since that's the appropriate place for it.

 

[Warped5]

waaaa I don't have mine yet! Wear off the the carlton name and then put the Poulan name on it...


That is to nice to run......

I wish I had ordered 2...

Saw looks awesome! Who is your stencil supplier?

I got this cylinder out in the daylight this morning and it don't look like your normal crome plated type but the piston does.

W.T.H.???

Found the equiavalent Poulan model. http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.n...9f9dec24bc41298688256d62001d965c?OpenDocument Same anti-vibe and all.

Cylinder is junk.

Something isn't adding up here pardner!
The Poulan Pro 415 clutch covers aren't green!
They are supposed to be yellow.
Lotsa luck finding one in good shape. I've been looking for a few months now.
They are also the same as a PP 475 except for P/C and coil.
The PP415 uses the Oregon D009 mount.

POulan Wild Thing

Well, I bit the bullet and won a Wild Thing on Ebay. Mistake was after I hit the "confirm bid", I realized it was a 4018 and not a 2375.
Supposedly piston and cylinder are scored but I'll see how bad. MIght need a new P&C but it appears a 2375 P&C won't fit. At least IPL #'s are differant. This is my first clamshell saw. Is there anything I need to be aware when removing piston from the cylinder?

[cbfarmall]

This was dropped off this morning--model 54 with a 14" bow. Pretty filthy saw--I spy some green on this saw! Plenty of compression and spark, though. Fired with a prime thru the muffler. Has a loop of Poulan 1/2" chain--#10 on the drivers so it is probably Poulan-labelled Oregon chain. Only issues--other than being dirty--is the handlebar is pretty well mangled, it is missing the adjuster screw assembly (not the plate, just the screw and nuts), and the buttons are missing on the oiler and stop switch.

Chain will need a good soaking in some acid and then oil to completey loosen it--it will flex right now, just very stiff.

Where does one get parts for these?

No Bob, the engines are entirely different and parts won't interchange.
Don't feel too bad about the 4018 though.
With just a little work they are a VERY respectable saw.
As I've said before I'd MUCH rather run one than an 025.

I believe they can be made to run really close to the 2375 and intend to find out if I ever get a little more spare time and money.
I have a few spare parts for that model if you need anything.
The only hints I can give you for the disassembly;

1) The bolts that hold the engine to the case are also the bolts that hold the engine halves together so it may come all to pieces when you remove them and start to take the engine out of the chassis.

2) When you separate the engine halves hold the engine with the cylinder down toward the floor. There are two plastic transfer covers in there that will be free when you remove the main cap and crank assy and they WILL fall out onto the floor if the cylinder is pointed up. Take note of which side they are on. Some say it matters others say it doesn't. If you have any questions I will be happy to tell you what little I know.

Chris,

We have a REAL good friend that can help you out with that saw.
And he MIGHT know a way to get that handlebar looking like new.
I'm not positive about that but it is a possibility.

Both of my model 53s are painted the cream color. I find it odd that your 54 (same saw except gear drive?) is green. Learn something new everyday.
