Just another junk chainsaw

[gstrom99]

I rec'd the fuel tank, starter cover and handle for the 440 that "fell off" the SIL's ATV. Only took 3 weeks. I need to got on that project, so it can join the other "extra" saws I seem to be collecting. I bought him a new 440, since the repair parts were "not in stock" at the time. He's been using the heck out it, so I'm glad I did.


Update, an hour or so of work and she's fixed and running. Trigger gave me a bit of a hassle, as did the handle. The stainless "rub plate" didn't want to stay in place. The new handle didn't seem want to line up, for some reason too. The new starter cover didn't come with the decal, either. May try and get one later...

Good job.

The decal is like 3.70-4 bucks by itself. Then add shipping. Might ask a local husky dealer if close to you. But way I look at that. It doubles my price going to one gas wise.

Thanks. I didn't like not having the label and ordered the one listed on eBay, before I saw your reply. ~$11 with shipping. Jack's would've been ~$14. Closest dealer is 25 miles.

Trying to recall. When I was doing a saw for local, I ordered decal with the cover and pulley stuff I needed to fix his saw. Those srong assit are a weak point.

I got one on my echo 490 and wish it was normal starter set up.

I actually ordered the whole starter assy, since it wasn't much more $ than the busted up cover only. Plus, I didn't have to figure out how to assemble the spring starter gizmo. Plus, now I have (more) spare parts (to misplace).

Yep what I did for this guy the 2nd time he busted it up. Guy lifts weights and trying to tell him he dont need to be ripping on these weak spring assisted saws.

More poulan parts getting moved. Guy needed a pto side case for 330. I sold him a whole crankcase with crank and fly for same cost.

2nd pair of poulan tank inserts in 2 days sold too.

The small and medium spikes for inner poulan. The one was NOS in med.

All of this older stuff is NLA and why it moves. I been selling everything off.

I had 1 Poulan and that was enough. Vapor locking POS.

Wonder what model. Older ones are still hard to kill today. Newer plastic ones suk.

One I hated the most was a old Mac my dad bought around 79-81. It would be hot as heck and clearing lanes trimming and that POS would vapor lock.
1 tank wonder. Wonder why ya kept the POS.

Had a racing cart with 2 on it. Total junk. Had a Stihl 007 (I think) that vapor locked too.
