What's up with this tank vent? It's just a fitting with a hole in it. I'm guessing I'm missing a valve of some kind.
Needs a duckbill valve on the tank side. Part #530026119. Can use a Homelite one also.
Great looking 5200 Brad 
Can only wish mine looked that good. With new decals, thats not gonna look bad at all! Like 67Mustang said, ya need a duck bill valve on bottom side of that vent. Just screws out. Here is a pic of one.
Gregg,

I don't know Brad. I need a throttle lock for my 4200 but as far as I can tell they are NLA. Plus manual gives impression that you can't split handle. If you find out anything differant let me know.
Bob
Brad, the throttle lock as you know is NLA.
The button is held to the inner rod with a very, very small roll pin. The springs can still be ordered from Poulan, I have a new one here as a matter of fact.
I'll bet Nik could turn you out a new button pretty easy. Just make shure the lock rod isnt broken as well.
I have to check but I think the original HS carb for these had a 17.5 mm carb on them. What WT carb was even close to that size?
I guess I shouldnt tell you that I just picked up a brand new still in the box HS for a 5200 on ebay just a few weeks ago for like $12.

Hey Brad if you sthil need av mounts I found the small Huskey av's are almost the same in size and with a little retap job they worked out great on my 5200. I had to replace about all of them on mine.

If a 5200 still has all of the anti-vibe mounts then they vibrate very little. Nice saw by the way. I have two of them. One bow saw and one with a 27" bar. I converted them to a rim drum system which is nice.

Mark, what series HS did you buy? I've been looking for a replacement but haven't had any luck?
Bob
I figured that's what it was. Now to find one.
I have no idea. Bigger is better, right
I just fired it up this morning, and it starts and runs great, even without a throttle lock.Are you speaking of the spring mounts? Thanks for the tip!
Actually, mine had those parts. For some reason the end of the button appears to have been ground on. It was sticking in the handle, and also not catching on the throttle. Then the pieces fell out of it. I suppose I'd better go find them! I wonder if my throttle trigger is actually worn?

Crash and Burn
Im thinking we used the small rubber mounts- off a 2-- series Husky. Think they are close to the top of the gas tank mounts
I got a regular 5200 HS176. I need it for the 5200 project I'm starting soon.

My first thought is the WT will be too small to let it run like a 5200, but then I don't know.
Here she is in wood. I've got an issue with the clutch. It did this last night on me. I don't believe it's the springs. I think the drum is getting bound up somehow. I'll have to check it out again. I don't have my 5200 filter yet, so ran it topless with a 8500 filter.

I found Homelite PN 69451. I see them in both black and red. Is this the one I need, and does color make any difference in material used?
Love them Poulans......
You can't help but be impressed when you run these old torque monsters. And they're not slow either. These big ones are getting harder to find with AS having made them so popular.
I've used the red ones when I had to use them in place of the Poulan ones. Don't know about the black.
Here it is with the bow on it. Again, something keeps tightening up on the clutch drum. It's not the shoes and/or springs. I'm thinking that either the washers need replaced, the neede bearing spacer is too short, or the spur is a little too thick.

Again nice Vid. You're messing up that nice white snow! BTW I have a few extra red Homelite duckbill valves. Be happy to send some if you need em.
Bob
Thanks for the kind gesture. I think I have one other saw that needs one. PM me what I owe you.
