Just another junk chainsaw

[xyz123]

I gave it 24hrs after showing folks on my CRG FB and good deal on a jonsered 2159.

Lunch time next day I said heck with it and bought the low hour saw myself. Will prob just flip it.

Only draw back was it is the CAT muffler model. Which that is a easy remedy.

CAT drilled and tube removed. Now to test and tune later.

Triple exits now.

Checking out the 2 series crank seal set up on G288. OEM set up same.

Couldnt budge by hand. Got the little battery impact and broke bit tip off. Then next bit stripped head.
First left hand bit. Didn’t work but left just right size to use easy out.

Above fuel tank arrived in HI safe and sound . Man I wish I could have been in that box too.

Cool to see they are installing the little o-ring like OEM did on the 372 365 362.

OE G372xp pro they call them. With meteor topends.

Then some others I am selling local.

Like I needed more micro parts

. Price was right though when local dropped off while picking up a saw

. But on the shelf they will go.
He said grey one was runner just pulled carb off for a different one.
Need something just PM. I only take payments in paypal friends family, USPS money order or cash now. Just saying no to new tax law.

I just don't understand these cheap poulan saws. I have one that ran great for a couple yrs. Now, I struggle to get it started, and keep it running.
I can go get my 55 rancher, or my 372 which are older than the poulan.
A couple pulls and they are off and running all day !

The poulan just isn't worth the effort ! It's just a lighter saw than the other two, is why I like to use it.
I'm probably just going to buy a battery operated saw to keep on the tractor when I just need to cut a limb and trash this poulan !

Tygon and ethanol is your problem. The fuel lines are rotting away. Replace all the lines and filter and clean the carb by disassemble and reassemble. I hate ethanol fuel with tygon lines.

I run 100% gas in my small engines. it gets the same gasoline as my big saws.100%
The 55 rancher is probably 20+ yrs old Never had a carb cleaned or lines replaced.
the 372 is about 8-10 yrs old, never cleaned carb, or replaced fuel lines.
Poulan is probably 5 yrs old and is difficult to crank, if it cranks at all !
