    13.8K is stock on those. Even though I didnt like them there.

    Nice build. Did you split and replace the bearings? Didnt read that. I still use 1194 for the crankcases.

    I'm not sure it's ready to swing that high Matt. It's a fine little runner though. My new favorite firewood gathering saw. :)

    Nice saw Randy. Sounds and runs like a beast. Jon did some nice work with that muff.

    I know this is just another boring Poulan, but have you done a WildThing? I know it's listed on your signature, but between searching here and another site, I've been unable to find anything on it, or how it performs. Did you ever do a build thread on it/how does it perform relative to other saws?

    I really like the transfer design on those saws. For an open port 60cc saw I believe they work really well.
    Nice job on the saw Randy. 15K that is rapping pretty good.

    we had it fixed in about 15min after he brought it over. replaced the recoil, 1 A/V spring and tweaked the wrap handle in the vise. looked really bad when set up on the counter though.
