I won the eBay auction on this Poulan 5200 last week. It arrived today. Minimal paint loss on this find. Compression tested out at an amazing 175 PSI. We'll see how that is again after it's run. I also receive two NOS 8500 filters. They work beautifully. All that's required is to shorten the stud on the carb about 3 threads, and shorten the "nuts" built into the filter. Nothing else is required. The bar does have a slight jog in the bottom rail. I think it will work out fine though.
