Nik's Poulan Thread

[dave76]

Not the cheapest saw I own, but fills a need for a loaner saw.

Hey thats exactly the way I feel, a pretty good loaner at that too!

Well guys I did it. I bought it from that guy on ebay that is selling the 3314 Remans for $57. It came all sealed up up in a Poulan box, brand new bar and chain, scrench, manual, and some mix. The saw looks like somone used it once and returned it, and I probably found out why. The thing was bear to start, like 20 pulls, some poppin, some running and stallin. Once I got it to run I adjusted the carb and played with it a little. Now cold she'll start on 2 pulls, hot one. Did a couple cuts, and it's not too bad for what it is. Came with the Oregon 91VJ chain.

So I let cool and I just could not leave it alone, put it on the work bench and started to take it appart, now at this time I got saw mabe an hour lol. I pulled the muffler put it in a vise, heated the seem and uncrimped it, pulled the diffuser and drilled more holes and enlarged the current ones. Took the body and sliced a slit on the PTO side, and pulled the plate that kinda covers the front outlets. So I heated it up and recrimped it back together and reinstalled it. On the carb side there is a cover that holds the felt AF in place, but almost completely covers the AF, I just took a sissor and cut as much out as I could without killing it as it still hold the AF in place. I also replaced the chain with an Oregon 91VXL.

Wow what a difference, after reajusting the carb, this thing has got some power now. I don't have a vids but with the mods and chain she rips through the wood now. Also with the muffler opened up it sounds really good too.

After looking it over I see how the carb works, it's a really small venturi carb, it's a Walbro WTA-30 and that comes in at 7.9mm, but the strato valve is much larger and comes in just after part throttle, and looks like it injects the air into the strato ports, I thought mabe a larger carb would be nice but, I'm not sure adding more air would work as the strato valve adds a load of air. Still learning these strato engines. I'm a little afraid to start grinding the exhaust port yet until I learn more so that'll have to wait.

Afraid i beat you on one of them LOL I got one a while back for 48.00!Not a mark on it?Adjusted the carb runs great.And still haven't used it yet?I like your muffler mod i will have to try that when I can find time? LOL

Guess everyone got too smashed last night to post any pics or vids.

Patience, my lad. I am in the process of uploading pictures now, but left around 4 (p.m) so I missed the evening activities around the fire. Mark and Mike were taking pictures so hopefully they will have some when they get home. I will probably post most of them in a separate thread.

I'm finally home too!!!

MAN! What a GREAT time!
What could possibly be better than a great weekend, with PERFECT weather, fantastic people, superb food, and legendary chainsaws????



Sorry those who missed this year didn't make it. It was the best one yet by far!

I just can't say enough about the entire Blosser family, they could be the poster group for the "Great American Family".
Gregg, you are truly a blessed man, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing Sheila and me to share your blessings.

Mike , I couldnt have said it any better. Too bad you were sleeping so sound when we had to leave. Thought I would get back a little early to see my new Grandson today, but that didnt happen anyway.

Gregg, I love not having one of those rattle trap diesel trucks anymore.

We figured you were not up yet, we sure could have spared enough time for the coffee and I seem to have a addiction to donuts.

Thanks again for the great time!
