Went to look at the 3 500s.. 2 are 5000 + and 1 is poulan 325.. All 3 run great don't even have to sharpen the chains... Anyone have any info on the Poulan.. It looks like a 5000 to me.
I guess you could say the PP325 is the North American version of the Partner 5500. It is the best of that original 500 series. It is a 46mm bore.
Whats the story on that P100? Is that the one Moe had? A P100 shouldn't have the lower handle brace far as I know. Only the P100 Super had that.
and that would cover the 100's, then start on the lesser saws!!And a R40, R40T and a R440T. It never seems to end.
I have a partner 500 question. I don't mean to thread jump but this is the place to ask I think. I need a piston for my 500 and I think I saw earlier that a husky 350 was a direct swap . I have been told that the husky 350 ring locating pin will be in the direct center of the intake port. If this is true that sounds like a bad thing for my partner.
Duke Thieroff has a couple 350 pistons on order and I told him to save me one. I am hoping that one of you here can set me straight what piston can I use to replace my 500 piston? My 500 is open port it measures 43.95 mm the piston is a solid non windowed one it measures 43.90 mm plus or minus on both measurements as my hand shakes some. I thank you for your input. I have to go to work now but I will check in later today thanks a bunch Jeff

I am not 100% sure about swapping the piston , but I am 99% sure it works just fine . The 44mm 350 piston has a single ring , pin in the middle . The ring doesn't get down into the intake port , so it would be fine that way .
Ok good I think? you say not 100% sure on the swap but your 99% sure it works fine? so I am nothing if not dense but I am not sure what you mean I guess. A very well respected partner guy here once said that a 350 will direct swap I was hoping this had been done by him or someone else just to be sure ya know? Hey Mark you out there?
ok will give them a try thanks.
It was worth a try but no go he has none. But you never know I guess he may have had one right on the shelf too so... Thanks anyway Jeff
I am sure I seen them used , maybe it was Arrowhead that did it ? Think they used a Husky 246 piston in them too to get more out of them . I know Ed told me that one . Seems some one put a 028 Stihl piston in one also , compression was a little much ! LOL Need to catch Modified Mark or Arrowhead !
Thanks for the reply. Yes the Husky 246 windowed piston will work in a partner 5000 closed port jug . I say this because Ed told me that and I have done it, it works. The Husky 350 was also in some notes Ed gave me in an e-mail a few years ago I printed it out and kept it I just now found that e-mail,... there was also information from Mark as well that I copied down to keep too.
As it stands now I will be getting a Husky 350 from Duke Thieroff when they come in. The worst that can happen is it will not run I guess. But if Mark and Arrowhead You and Wigglesworth ( I pm'ed him yesterday) think they will work that's good enough for me.

I am fairly sure they work , just haven't did it myself .............. yet ! LOL I have a Partner 500 , but it don't need anything yet .Good luck ! Duke will fix ya up , just got a 346xp piston from him . LOL But I jumped the gun thinking this jug would clean up , sure didn't ! Didn't look bad till I got some crap off there , deep gouges in it ! What I get for trying to get ahead ! LOL So maybe a chinee jug and Meteor piston ? Haven't tried that yet ? LOL Good used 45mm 346xp jugs are hard to find !!
I have a little bit of transfer on the exhaust side of my jug. So today I bought a jug of Muriatic acid I only will need maybe a 1/2 oz but had to buy a gallon. I can see the transfer if I tilt the jug just right but I cannot feel it with my fingernail so I don't know ho serious it really is ya know. I just ordered some Carburetor rebuild kits for the saws too so when I get the piston should be good to go.
I use sand paper to clean jugs now . There are some threads on doing it like that . Sounds like it real minor , little sanding should be all it needs .
yea I agree I also have some brick that need cleaning so I can use some there too. I already been in there with 400 grit it feels real smooth.
Good for cleaning wood decks too . LOL
Want to be sure all the transfer is out of there or you will be doing it again soon . LOL
The last thing I do to clean them up is use scotchbright taped to a wooden dowel rod chucked in my drill . Just buff it all up nice and purdy . It will also take transfer off , just be careful on the edges in there ! It can take the plating off purdy quick . Yea I screwed one up like that ! But only once ! LOL
yea I got to google uses for...Muriatic Acid and see what else I can use it for. I will tell you if you dip greenish/blueish corroded wire into it they will clean up like right now.
