I picked up an 11-dollar pressure gauge from Amazon.com and gave it a shot. Measures 130-ish PSI! That's with the carburetor and reed valve out. Carb kit should be here in a couple days, and will get going to rebuild and fuel line/filter replacement.

S25da

I thought I better drain my S25DA since I cannot get around to fixing the air leak but I have spent the time and $ on fixing the lines and carb. Do just pop the caps and drain the tanks? What else can I do to fully drain the fuel?

That's all I do plus run carb dry.

5200 incorrect part #

Looked up and ordered rings for my 5200. Part # on IPL was 530023645. However when rings came they seemed incorrect. They are half the size of 3400 rings. This can't be right, can it? I haven't pulled cylinder but I can't believe they are the correct size. Wonder if supplier mislabeled his inventory? Bob

How do I run the carb dry? Pull it till she fires?

I start saw then drain gas tank and let it run till it stops. I don't horse throttle but simply let saw idle.

Sd 25

Any of you Poulan model 25 experts know whether these saws are suppose to have a metal bar plate under the clutch cover? I have a Super delux 25 that I purchased recently, just put a new bar & chain, chain adjuster, on it.

This saw doesn't have a metal bar plate, and it seems like it should work fine.
The parts list I saw, doesn't show one, but I have seen them for sale for these saws. Not sure if its suppose to have one or not. Or if just "certain models" had one.

I see what you're saying. My IPL shows an inner plate #530023864 but no outer guide plate.

 

[Modifiedmark]

Both plates are the same. Inner and outer.

 

[barneyrb]

Both plates are the same. Inner and outer.

How's the shoulder doing? Are we up to doing "light duty" arm curls yet? Get 'er healed up.

 

[redunshee]

Both plates are the same. Inner and outer.

Oh.....

[OhioGregg]

Poulan 3750

Have been looking for a PP330 but TSC doesn't have any in my neck of the woods. Did see a PP 3750 for sale but don't much about it other than its about 60cc. Any opinions on the saw?
