    Nope, it's OK I know I'm a goof ...... (grin) I should have checked at the time I was out there and the first chain didn't do bupkis!
    So when I put the new one on I should have paid more attention ..... after all it's not like its printed on the chainsaw ......

    I don't know what the big deal was about the chain on backwards anyway. Just could've cut from the other side of the log. :D

    Maybe I should re-title the thread “Are Poulan [homeowner saw] users newbies?”

    I started with a Poulan 5020AV. Added a Husky 141 (thanks basod ), and eventually got a 55cc Jonsered. Then some uninvited visitors relieved me of the Jonsered, so now I am back to the Poulan being my primary saw.

    I was running it today, and when it has a good tune and a sharp chain, it will happily make some firewood! That said, I really liked the Jonsered, but the Poulan and Husky are it for this season.
