    I bought a Dayton 4Z252 (rebranded Poulan 5200) off of CL in Connecticut and had it shipped to me. Pulled the muffler to check the P&C and found a couple of dozen small nuts and chunks of carbon hiding. Ingesting it through the exhaust port would not have been good.

    This is what came out of the saw. Just another reason to check them over prior to starting.

    Remember that the large chassis Poulan Countervibes have an outlet on the side as shown below. It is large enough that a mouse could fit through.

    Yeah, that wouldn't have been good at all!!

    I thought hardware at first and then thought more about ras and such.
