I'd say, I have a mid 80s Poulan 3000, I find myself going to it more often than anything else.
Steven, I know JChin shipped your saw last Wednesday, so was wondering if you received it yet and what your thoughts were?
Me too, perhaps he has finally gotten the saw broken in? I also wonder if he is running avgas, don't know anywhere other than the air field to get...
I like the idea of staying mixed but in my own stuff I always 'shake before I bake'! I like working on saws but do everything I can to avoid...
I am also not a proponent of running avation fuel, so much regulated stuff added to it that you don't know what you are buyng. When I repair a saw...
I personally run Bel-Ray H1R, Kevin runs Klotz and has very good luck with it, but I don't know which version he runs. I do not care for Husqvarna...
Clean out all the carbon, then run Klotz or Bel-Ray full sythetic at 32:1. Wonder if they were running mineral based mix instead of synthetic,...
Above from Saw Troll, looks like he is stumped so far also!
Kevin, I can understand that, it has been 20+ years since the 262XP came to market. It does hold a cult following but in the passage of those 20+...
Everyone has their favorites based on personal priorities. Nikko lives in Norway, where heated handles are a necessity. As you all get older and...

The ones cast into the base or on the exterior of the transfer ports.
You are right on the old MX bike, the older Dolmars with the Sachs designed engines sounded even more MX-ish! Ala Dalesford or Penton! From what...
Mahle usually has a casting number on the base or transfer ports to identify the cylinder. Perhaps if you get a picture Daj will come along and...
Jon1270, COOL, never have I seen a Mahle 262XP cylinder with no provision for a decomp valve! That does not mean they never did it, I just have...
Did the CM first because it was clean! Saw is fine, they must have gotten into some kind of very small cable, it was wound so tight around the...
Jon1270, the very earliest ones had 4 screws holding the muffler bracket/cover to the muffler itself. Later ones used 2. Which enables a very...
1990-03 to 1992-10 if the cylinder has no provision on the right side it is a KS, which was only on the first model.
