Bob, you have some that would have only been used on the later Poulan Pro 375, 385 and 395 saws and would have been the mostly likely ones to be found with a brake, at least in the US.

that was my main concern. i know these sport black covers so ,i was thinking some on replaced the starter cover,the clutch cover conveniatley had the ##oo, ie the first 2 numbers scratched off. but the id plate under the clutch cover is stamped 5400. so im guesiing the top plate to be a replacement. i will however measure the bore just for peace of mind. hope to get to the fuel tank this week and have it running soon after.

i thought about this a bit more... the primer works as a diaphragm pump and has 2 check valves 'built in' Here's a pic from the Zama tech manual and YMMV, but ops are similar in all carbs with a primer bulb that I know of.
What do you guys think of the NOS 24" bar on the PP395? I picked up two of these bars the other is a black one. There correct on this saw as well as the Pioneer based Poulan Pros like the 405, 655 etc.
PM me if you want to know where to get these bars..

Where the Wild Things Are
I Gotta Screw Loose!
Well, three, and they're missing. The 2775 has been heating up the clutch cover, and I was assuming it was because I was running it had and it was accumulating gunk under there - but I wasn't comfortable with that explanation. Then today it started running rough, and it's always been a smooth saw. So after poking around I finally noticed there's only one bolt holding the engine in the housing! Doooh! Now I get it.
So I've been looking at the IPL, and where on the Wild Thing family there is a set of bolts that both holds the engine in and attaches the cylinder to the bottom end, on these it shows two sets of screws with different numbers. Is that right? Are there separate screws to hold the engine together and another set to hold it in? I will try to look at it more closely to see.

I'm not a expert on these but I think the 2775 is the same family as the 2500/2900 and if I remember right they do use 4 screws to hold the pan to the engine and another 4 to hold it in the case.
The Wildthing series only used the 4 screws that went though the case and also held the pan to the engine.
Take that with a grain of salt though.

You know my PP395 needs one! Looks great
I have a PP 260 tore apart right now and it has 4 bolts that go through the plastic part of the saw in the bottom in through the bottom half of the clam and into the cylinder. All 4 bolts are the same. I believe on mine they are M-6 metric. I do not know if a wild thing would be any different.

The PP260 is basically a Wild Thing with A/V and a chromed cylinder, so it's built the same in regards to how the engine is held in. My 42cc Craftsman is the same but without the chromed cylinder.
Mark confirmed what I see in the IPL, and I'm going to try to verify that tomorrow if I get some time before we go visiting. I'd like to know that the engine was at least still bolted together! LOL. It looked like there was some kind of fancy washer that was missing on one location, but I didn't see that on the IPL and it's hard to tell. Needs a cleaning under there.
Thought you guys might want to look at this,. http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/198040.htm
I didnt want it buried in this thread to never be found again.

I've got a few in a pile recently and tore them apart to get a couple of runners. The 2775's that i have are held together in two sections: the bottom of the crank has four bolts and the engine to the chassis has four additional bolts. For info sake, the 2375's (smaller ones) that i have use just one set of bolts through the chassis, crank, and engine. if there are other variants or mutations I don't know of them.

I am NOT an expert on these either, but so far, going by the few different small top handle poulans I have, you can tell by the handle shape and so on. There's some obvious differences. Post up a pic of what you have.

That's pretty cool! Much better than my cobjob for worn out flock filters. I just stick a coffee filter on the outside, tuck the edges around, then screw it down. chuck it out when it is even remotely dirty, use another one. I am thinking of switching to the 95 or 100 dustmasks though, much better fines filtration.
Well I would love to post up a picture but have not mastered that yet.

If you make a reply and click on the picture of the tree in the bubbles at the top of the reply screen you can attach it there. That will only attach it, and then you need to embed the photo also to prevent an uproar. That can be done by previewing your post, click on the link in green for the pic, right click on the http address and copy it. Then click on the small earth with a chain link in front of it in the same bubble as mentioned above and paste the link in there, and unchecked the little box below that. Yes, its more complicated than it needs to be, and some may have a simpler way, but it works for me.

I have a few XXVs and micros, and if the covers have not been changed then if you look at the side label/sticker at the bottom in vary small print it should say 38/33cc , that is at the vary bottom around the edge... hope this helps.
I looked up the IPL for the 2775 and I can see where it is confusing but the guys are correct there are 4 seperate screws holding the bottom half of the clam on from the ones holding it to the case. On my 260 if you had lost 3 screws out of it there would be a major air leak. In fact that is why I tore it down I found an air leak on the back seam of the clam. Also the screws are very long on the 260 where on the 2775 they are short.
