Yes you are right there is nothing wrong with this filter. I did not want to use a crappy filter as an example of what one is suppose to look like. I do have more than just one of these saws so I could use another filter.

Yours looks like the mesh. I'll try and grab you a pic of the flocked ones too.

3000 you can broaden your search of models that used that filter.

mesh on 3300 left, flocked on 365 middle, flocked on craftsman 3000 right.

That is great thanks.

got the starter working on the 306A. now it starts but won't run. guessing it needs a carb rebuild. cleaned up real nicely.

Check the fuel line in the tank.....

poulan super 25a carb settings

Working on an older Poulan super 25a for a friend. has the walbro WA carb on it. carb was gummed up pretty bad. completely disassembled it and let it soak for a couple of days. Can anyone help with the initial h & l needle settings?

Start both needles at 1 turn open from lightly seated. After saw is warm turn Lo needle counterclockwise until saw starts do die. Then turn needle clockwise until the same thing happens. The midpoint between the two settings should do it. Test LO setting by squeezing throttle. Saw should accelerate w/o any hesitation. If it doesn't, open Lo needle slightly and test again. Repeat until saw accelerates smoothly. The HI needle(one on top) should be okay as it is. However when you replace carb cover the reduction in air volume may affect Hi speed running. That's one of the weaknesses of the design. You may have to remove the cover and readjust the Hi needle slightly.

I've got a somewhat crappy one you can have. BTW I will get that clutch cover out to you to work on. Just too damn hot to search thru my parts.

BTW the same filter is on the 2700, 2800, 3000 and 3300.

I appreciate the offer but for now I a good one that I can switch between saws if I need to. I am sure that one will show eventually. When your ready for that clutch cover just send a PM to me and we will get that done.

83 poulan. I slapped these parts on cause I was cleaning the parts.

The piton is clean. The top two rings are stuck and makes it stiff to get into the cylinder.

 

[wendell]

Very nice, Jacob!

 

[wigglesworth]

Three rings is sexy....

thanks mark, that was that. now just gotta figure out why the muffler is leaking. don't wanna look. also need a sprocket (definitely) and maybe a clutch; will know after i disassemble.
btw, i've never had a fuel line as easy to change as that one on the 306A.

2300 CVA Fuel Cap

Well got the saw back together. Runs real well though a little loud with the MM I did. Surprisingly starts very easy even after sitting for a day or two esp. given the distance the fuel has to travel from the tank to the carb. Question: Is there suppose to be some kind of foam in the fuel cap? Fuel squirts out the vent hole when running. In looking at the interior of the cap it appears that the clear plastic dome is attached to the cap thus isn't removable. Doesn't seem to be anything to absorb the splashing fuel.

carb needle settings

Is one turn out on both h and l the basic rule of thumb to start out with on adjusting a carb. I have a pp365 that has been real finicky when I'm adjusting the carb. I was adjusting it on Friday night and got it set real good. I then shut it off and it restarted right away but the idle was alil to high. The clutch kind of wanted to engage. So I turned down the idle alil hit the trigger and it came down more with out me adjusting it and then died. After that it would start on choke then die then wouldn't start at all. I was cooking supper on the grill at the time so I didn't mess with it much more after that and have been getting irritated with this saw which is about to be thrown in the scrap bin. So I just put it back on the shelf before I totally lost it lol.

Anyone wanna buy it? I need another saw like I need a hole in my head.

If you need a clutch for your 306A and if they are the same on a 245A I have one you can have. Mine is off a 245A, but it's in fine condition. I'm pretty sure the 306 and the 245 share the same clutch, but you might want to check for sure. I'm sure Mark can answer this, he seems to be pretty slick when it comes to ugly green saws, just kiddin, they are purrrdy.
Hey I can probably scrounge you up a muffler also from a 245 if it will fit your 306

I have a 245 which has about the same problem with the muffler coming loose occasionally. I just keep tightening mine up. I don't know of a compound like Loc-Tite that will stand that heat, probably is one though.
