Rings for 245 and 306

I have a few of these, that I need rings for. Has anyone come up with a source for them? They're all decent saws, good P&C, just low compression.

Hard To Find Piston Rings

If you cannot find rings, Frank Bowman of Farmington, NM is well know for making rings. He has an excellent reputation.

One ring shipped around $15
Two rings shipped around $26

He will need your piston and cylinder to make a custom set.

Ebay gone Mad

Saw a Poulan Pro S25 going for something like $ 126 and about 14 bids.No bar and chain. What am I missing?????

I have several 4000's. There probably my favorite "all around saw". I used to use dino oil at 32:1 in em. You'll find they smoke alot less also with syn. 40:1. if at all.

Gregg,

Nice saws!

No wonder I can't find one, you have them all.

There's a guy over in Elkton, MD that custom sizes rings for you. Had him make me a set for a 245. He's mad several sets for another AS member for his 2-man saws. PM me your email address and I'll send you the info.

Thanks to both of you! I'll try the guy in Elkton, first, because he's only about an hour away from me.

Picked up some saws, today. Need help to ID one of them....

Small engine guy had these back in a shed. They're both Poulan made, but I don't know what the orange one is, because the side covers were missing. I know the gas tank is larger than the Poulan.View attachment 187441View attachment 187442View attachment 187443View attachment 187444View attachment 187445

Also got a S25DA, a Super 250A, and another mini that I can't quite make out the model, on the sticker..........$5 each....

An A/C chainsaw?!

I am entirely envious!

Repped!

 

[8433jeff]

Orange one is most likely a Dayton, Poulan made is correct. Professionals will comment if I am wrong.

Nice find! We are probably gonna have to restrain Mike & Mark, LOL The Allis looks to be a 306 variant. The orange one, looks to be a 245. Probably a Dayton labeled saw. Mikes an old AC guy, and Mark I think worked at a AC shop in his youth.
They would know them well.


Gregg,

Gregg,

To late to restrain me. I'd be all over the Allis should it be unwanted. :hmm3grin2orange:

Gregg your right the Allis 195 is a Poulan 306. A Allis 295 would be a 306SA.

The orange one is a Dayton 2Z463 slash Poulan 245A.

You will find that that is a Super 25 DA also.
The cursive D looks a LOT like a 0.

I'll try to clean it up, a little, and see if I can make it out......

OK, thanks. I wish he had the side covers lying around.... He also has a neat looking old Homelite, that I might grab before he starts chunking everything in a roll off dumpster.......

2300 Micro

Hey guys...

I have a LOW hr 2300 (well, the CRAFTSMAN version here..) the saw is really clean, pops on the first pull choke, choke off, throttle open, starts and revs up (following the starting instructions, as it doesn't have a throttle lock..) will idle nice, and tune seems to be right on (no hesitation, throttles right up... L-screw is about 1/4 turn below where the chain stops turning... (i'm guessing the 3k range?? :dunno: )

good RPM, and burble @ WOT...

when tuning, it seems I get a lot of spit-back out of the carb when hitting the throttle... to the point that the choke lever gets wet on the outside after cutting with it.... NOT my BIGGEST concern..

The BIG concern I have, is it seems to RICHEN the heck out of itself to the point that letting off the throttle abruptly will cause it to stall....If it blip it a couple times, it will settle down, and idle nicely, one time I let it sit for over 5 minutes on the ground...


Thoughts? something internal in the carb?? metering lever height? screws are about 1 turn out.. I want to say the L is about 1 1/8" saw pulls 130 psi...


I DO NOT want this saw to beat me! I KNOW it's not worth it, but I want it to RUN!!! :bang:

[w8ye]

It wouldn't hurt to try new diaphragms in the carb and to get the saw dust off the screen in the carb, off the outside of the metering diaphragm, and to change the fuel filter in the tank.

J, it's normal for that saw to spit back fuel through the carb. You'll especially notice that when tuning with the carb cover off, but I can't imagine it being so rich that it's getting wet through to the choke knob. The problem with tuning those is that when you replace the carb cover after tuning is that it's naturally rich because you've restricted the air flow by replacing the cover. It has to suck air through the foam filter. I usually compensate on the lean side and continue to adjust till it runs properly with the cover on. Try that before you break into the carb. Then check the metering lever.

 

[redunshee]

A little spit back when tuning is normal. Very similar to the S25DA
saws in that regard. However the fact that the choke lever gets wet when running seems to me to be a metering lever set too high. Fuel would need to get past the air filter to wet the choke lever, if I've envisioned the setup correctly. This could be the reason saw dies after cutting, though I've never experienced this situation.
