The made in north america Old Magnesium Swap Meet.

Pic. of the type I have in leftovers. Mostly from Lombard and Homelite. The hook fits around the pawl and the tail rests against a flywheel fin. Eye part goes over the pivot stud boss. Preloads the notched end of the pawl against the end of the crankshaft.

The ones on the top right look like what i have on the SXL. I can try what i have and provide info. On the SXL it looks like you take the nut off and the spring just slips off. On the 4000 I had to try and unwind it as the stud is pressed or cast into place but it was already damaged so I did not see any harm. What is the best method to remove and install them on the Poulan without over stressing them?

I think that'll fix you up. The only problem with this is we're gonna have one more guy looking for poulans now...lol

I am an equal opportunity sawyer. If it runs good color and brand are unimportant. Looks like this one takes a 70dl chain so I will have to break down a couple for spares once it proves itself.

LOL. The Mac parts are all here.............except for that flywheel. It's over in the Placerville area somewhere still (along with a buncha Homelite parts that will come my way at the same time)...

I knew I forgot something. Your post reminded me to go out to the shop (during a lull in the rain) and check the tank/handle casting you sent me. Sure enough..............it has the choke knob/rod. Will mail the choke knob/rod out to you tomorrow. Do you need the rubber grommet that it passes through?

Nope, just the handle.

Got the Craftsman 3.6 running this afternoon. Now it pumps 130 psi with (gently) used rings. Was 110.

Talk about cheap old men........................................................................

130psi on used rings is pretty good for those saws. Pulled the choke knob and brought it back into the house for its return voyage.

aaron, if you don't mind i could use the grommet for my 306A since carl doesn't need it.

No problem Jerry. I hope to be able to sneak away and spend some time tearing apart that C-5 parts saw today and/or Wednesday. Will also see if I can get that dang grommet out of the tank casting. It's in there pretty good. Thinking about heating it a bit so it's softer and more cooperative.....

I found a selection of rubber grommets in the electrical dept. of my local Ace hardware store. In the yellow compartment boxes. Take your dial calipers with you.

Nothing in the world like a "GOOD" hardware store for we DIY guys. Amazing the things you can make fit in something it doesn't belong in.

Looking for a flywheel for a Remington PL-7A. Wico part number on it is Y16371. PL/SL-6 & 7 are supposedly the same.

Stuff and/or green stamps to trade.

Here's my XL-800 flywheel. Very different from yours..................dammit. It's a Wico, and looks identical to one that I took off of an early XL-12. Both are 4.375" diameter.

Anyone have or know of a source for starter pawl spring(s) for a Poulan 4000? Also will ones form other models work?

You can use the 3400 and 3700 pawls but you'll need to change the recoil pulley as well.

Thanks. I bought springs and an extra set as they seem slight compared to other models. Cut 2 days with it seems to run pretty good.
