I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle kzfaq.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

@randyf.45842 жыл бұрын
Hi Steve my name is Randy. So I've got several chain saws and have had many over the years. My first couple of saws were poulan and to be honest with you I never had a minutes problem with other than I use them so much that I completely wore them out and at the time I was young and dumb and felt like it was just easier to buy a new one. As I've gotten a whole lot older I don't think that way anymore. LOL I currently own my main chainsaw is a Stihl , but I also have 2 or 3 poulan saws and a pretty good size homelite saw. Well the last poulan saw that I bought was a pl3816 which I only bought because I was no where near home and found myself needing a chainsaw so I bought this poulan from wally world and right out of the box it was hard to start and even when I could get it running it wouldn't stay running at an idle. I should of returned it but figured I could tune it and get it right once I got back home. Well 3 yrs later in just now getting around to looking at it. I've watched your video and like on your saw the low idle was way off. So I followed your advice in this video and it helped but the problem is that no matter what I do the chain won't stop spinning unless you put the break on which then it cuts off. I'm not sure where the trigger adjustment is set and to the best of my recollection it didn't seem like you gave any instructions on that. Anyhow I was just wondering if you had any ideas of what may be causing this issue. I've checked the chain, sprockets etc... all looks well with the chain tension set right. The only other thing that I could guess is if the sprocket is controlled by a clutch mechanism and if so then maybe the clutch is messed up. What are your thoughts on that? Thanks for your video as it was very informative and helpful and I greatly appreciate your time. Sincerely, Randy

@lindafoofoo2 жыл бұрын
A good, straightforward approach to getting a chainsaw adjusted, I think you turned the low screw all the way to the right until the low setting was closed. Then you opened it up two turns to the left. Am I correct? Yhis is one of the best videos I have seen on chainsaw adjustments. Keep up the good work.

Steve, good DYS instructions. My Pouuuuulan 3314 melted the plastic of frame around the clutch and top of oil pump: I replaced oil pump and chain brake, and cleaned the melted plastic out. Followed all of your video and she will only start at 1.5 turns left (cc), H and L and I can't adjust diddlely squat. I let it idle for a minute and it start smoking creating a smoke screen; army style. I suspect a got a bad clutch spring, as the spring appears loose, stretches easily. Got chatering while idling. I m about to can the b b baby and get something pro. FYI, I m a mechanical engineer 30 yrs experience that likes to do all at home. No roofing or Ac compressor stuff.

I got that same saw, I made the mistake of running it all day because I was cleaning tops and stuff; I paid the price the next day.

Wow, love your style but that’s a lot of talk to find out to turn the high and low screws all the way to the right and back them off one and a half turns. Now just tell us what you did while it was running. And finally my idle screw has a huge swing in and out where should it be? It’s sputters the first pull each day, and then never again. Frustrated
