Nik's Poulan Thread

[leecopland]

Got a dumb question. Friend has gas leaking out of wild thing gas cap...right out of breather in middle where that sintered thing is. How can that be fixed?

Get the correct gas cap. The Wild Thing and most box store Poulans don't have a vent in the cap.

It amazing how these caps get mixed up.

It's gotta be right cap. Threads on these are odd....

Canadian Tire branded saw. Is it a 3700?

Mastercraft 60cc very powerful chain saw runs like a top - North Bay Tools & Hardware For Sale - Kijiji North Bay Canada.

With that black top I'm betting a 3800. Still a decent saw but IMHO 3700 is more desirable

there is no duck bill in the gas cap on a wild thing?

I thought there was but my WT is out in the garage right now, may check in the morning. If it didn't come out with a duck bill valve in the gas cap then it would be solid and not leak other than at the gasket. IMO it was ignorant of the saw companies to put the fuel and oil caps where they did, it just invites a leak. I like them on the top left side like some manufacturers did long ago.

You are right and I am wrong. They do have a duck bill in the centre of the cap. Sorry, shame on me for not engaging brain before operating mouth!

With a worm gear puller.
You can actually get it off without the puller but getting it back on correctly with the proper spacing is a BEAR!!!
If the spacing isn't correct it will chew up the threads on the oiler.

The pullers are usually available on ebay for around $5.00 + shipping.
They are cheaply made but they work well.
The Poulan tool is the cats rear but they are high$$$$$$$.

I don't have the link to the puller.
My Dolmar dealer just got one for ModifiedMark and I would be thrilled to give you his contact info in a P.M. if you would like.
I'm certain there is another way to get that rascal off of there and I would try a pipe coupler if I could find one that would match the threads.
I don't know how much heat I would put there without having one here in front of me to look at.

I'm needing a cylinder base gasket for 3700-3800,anyone know where I can find one? :help:

Yes Sir I do.

In a tube of Permatex Moto-Seal!
You will find that leaving that gasket out and replacing it with a thin film of Moto-Seal will help your performance greatly.

Mike's suggestion will work great! If ya want to stick to the old fuddy-duddy way like I usually do, Its not hard to make one out of card stock from a beer or pop carton. You even see new ones (occasionally) on ebay. If you go the sealer route, it will increase your performance slightly. These models have plenty of squish area, so going gasketless is no problem on them.

My F.L.A.P.S. (friendly, local, auto parts store) has Felpro gasket material on hand in 1' x 3' rolls of various materials and thickness.

I bought a gasket once, but, not anymore.

And I took that advice as well! Glad your back man!
I have used permatex motoseal on my:
PP335
(2) S25DAs
4000
Dolmar 112
They all run great except the Dolmar, but it needs a coil.

 

[Big Dan]

I appreciate all the replies and will try the Permatex.
