Well it does have a Irish carb on it. :msp_rolleyes:

Nice saw BTW

Watch it, Irish eyes are watching you. Plus, he put the damn bar on upside down.

I do not see anything in the second photo that is wrong. What I do see is that pipe sticking out from the muffler and I bet that baby is real loud.

that is the way they came from the factory, and they have a very nice sound:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:kind of like a big block ford or chevy breathing through dual 3 inch exhaust.

Yes, stock muffler, probably the coolest factory chainsaw muffler ever (well, at least asthetically speaking).

This very clean 2300CVA received no bids the first time around, the seller would probably get some decent $$ if they were willing to ship.

I have never listened to a sweeter sound.....well coming from a saw. They sound like a late 70's cr 125.


My 750 Kawi Triple sounds pretty cool going away from you twisting about 8500

Will 2300 piston ring fit s25da

I don't think it will...seems like I looked it up before when I needed to re-ring my 25.

Is anybody familiar with Craftsman model 358.357230? I did some quick searching, but wasn't able to find a manual/IPL. I'm thinking that the Craftsman 358.357230 would need a P&C specific to a Poulan 2300CVA, and the only one I have that might work is in my rear-handle Craftsman (Poulan 2400), and I want to keep the rear-handle saw complete.

[Chris J.]

Ted, thanks. I had found the Sears parts list, but was looking for the complete IPL/Manual to download (I'm nitpicky that way :msp_rolleyes. I'll try searching again, or try to match some parts numbers using the Sears site info.

Jerry, thanks! PM to follow.

Chris, pm'd download link.

67, I downloaded it, & noticed that it didn't mention 357230, but did reference 357231, which might explain why I didn't locate it earlier. Thanks! Now I need to do some research (something tells me that I'm going to confirm my initial suspicions).

Thanks for the info Karl. Those fittings look fantastic. Is that a straight machine thread or a tapered thread? Will PM you soon.

Finished 295 rebuild.

This is a PP 295 I bought and probably put to much money back into it. But I had fun and it runs really well. New bearings and seals. New piston and ring. New oil pump. Drill and tap with new bolts for the engine mounting. New fuel line. Mild port on the exhaust and intake. Rounded the top edge of the transfers. Modified muffler with old shower curtain rod.

I'm really pleased with the way my 295 runs.
It's a great little saw for what I have invested in it.
